“Entomology (from Ancient Greek entomon ‘insect’, and -logia ‘study’)[1] is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term insect was less specific, and historically the definition of entomology would also include the study of animals in other arthropod groups, such as arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans. This wider meaning may still be encountered in informal use.”
ah i solved it, it’s that the max_depth arg has no sane default, so a client needs to set it manually. currently the server has a hard 300 max value i think.
blocking instances for users was added in 0.19. it works like community block: you don’t see any posts from an instance, but you can see the activity of users from that instance on any other instances where they do stuff.
[this is not an endorsement of federating with any meta product. i believe in deplatforming hostile actors, which they’ve well and truly proven themselves to be.]
i also fixed authentication for the 0.19 release, but when your instance actually upgrades (lemmy.ml already has, for testing), it will require you to delete the lem.plstore file in .emacs.d/ and log in again with your password.
& by all means holler if you run into authentication issues during the transition.
EDIT: all good, I worked it out, I found some other api docs.
Is the ModeratorView listing type in this release? If so what feed view is it available in? I can’t see it in the lemmy.ml webUI at the moment, nor in the API docs, but the code is merged.
