The change only affects posts which were deleted by the creator and have at least one comment. If the post was removed by a mod or admin the behaviour remains unchanged, and only the creator as well as mods/admins can view it.

For comments there is no change. For posts, if you delete a post which has no comments it wont be visible to anyone else. If it has comments and you delete the post, then it will only be accessible by direct link but not via post listings on the community page or frontpage.

This is a known issue and will be fixed in Lemmy 1.0: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5210

The best channel is through the issue tracker, for example github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui. In practice Im not sure how the UI could be changed to make this clearer. Do you have an idea, or an example how another website handles this?

This will be partially addressed in Lemmy 1.0 by making deleted posts and their comments viewable, but only by direct link (not via post listings).

We always dream, but usually we cant remember the dreams. It helps to keep a dream journal, ie every morning directly after waking up, write down as much as you remember from last nights dreams (or instead talk about it with someone). Over time you will remember more and more details.

With 4500 posts per minute you will probably get a lot of other scaling issues too, like with your database or the processing of incoming and outgoing activities. In any case its a good way to learn how Activitypub works. Is the code open source? Dont see it on your codeberg.

Using the plugin system you basically just need a way to get notified about each new post and comment, right? I expect that will be one of the major use cases for plugins. We will likely provide various official plugins, eg push notifications for Android and iOS. The same thing should also work for you.Version 1.0 will let you subscribe to communities to get notifications for all new posts and comments (code).

To get new posts and comments for all known communities you only need to make regular requests to /api/v3/post/list?limit=50&sort=New&type_=All and /api/v3/comment/list?limit=50&sort=New&type_=All. Its not necessary to make separate requests for each community. The default rate limit allows 180 read requests per minute so you can comfortably poll this every second (in practice every 30s or so should be enough). If you miss an item (ie post or comment id was skipped) just load the following page.

The plugin system in 1.0 would be another option. It will still take some time until that is released, but there shouldnt be any reliability issues.

Youre right that federation solves these problems, but instead you get another problem of writing all this federation code and making sure it is compatible with different platforms. Lemmy’s federation code has around 12k lines so that is a lot. It seems much simpler to use the API for Lemmy, Piefed etc and write abstractions for common functionality.

Anyway this is my opinion. Its your project so in the end its your decision how to implement it.

Donations are to pay for the development of Lemmy which is a full-time job and pays for our bills. Donating to Lemmy does not mean “supporting transphobes and tankies”, thats a really weird thing to say.

Interesting, why do you think that scriptable moderation bots need a completely new platform? Wouldnt it be much easier to utilize the Lemmy api directly?

Most of these features are also implemented in Lemmy, and others too such as private communities (which can only be browser by users that were manually approved by moderators). However we have very high standards for correctness, performance and UX so it takes a while to get all of this released in the upcoming 1.0 version.

It looks like Castopod is the main podcasting platform on the Fediverse. I had a quick look how it federates. Unlike Peertube it doesnt use groups, so it wont be possible to follow the podcasts from Lemmy. What you could do is make a Lemmy post with a direct link to the Castopod audio file so users can play it from Lemmy (that is after 1.0 is released with the audio player feature).

Sounds like an adoption of this bible text. Basically a version of karma.

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”

To everyone in this thread, if you notice a problem in Lemmy please open an issue. We are only two developers and dont have time to browse the Fediverse all day to come across such things. Only if we know about a problem can we actually fix it and make a new release.

For reference here are the issue and proposed fix:

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6016
• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/6017

I had a video chat with them once, but afterwards they ignored me. So they are clearly not interested in giving us a grant.

curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://piefed.europe.pub/post/35873 | jq

This directly sends the object json for https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/53225502 which fails domain validation. Instead https://piefed.europe.pub/post/35873 needs to send a redirect to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/53225502

These types of changes are rather annoying because you need to edit the file, wait about an hour for the release build to finish, then fix any problems and repeat until it works. Though its definitely good to have multiple platforms for releases.

So if you want to make a PR and get it working you are welcome to do that. Then I will add the auth token so you can test it. Github seems preferable as we already use that.

Thats doable with our CI tools (docs). Would you open an issue?
