Wait really? Is there a recommended extension for this?

Big spike in comments/posts this AM :/

Thanks for the in depth write up! I haven’t looked too far into the docs or the subscription model, but is this a fault on Lemmy’s end, or is this a function of how activity pub handles federated communication? (I’m very new to activity pub/federation, just now reading through the activity pub docs)

I do like your idea of distributed replication via keys,much better than what I had brainstormed

Edit: yeah it does look like it’s a function of activity pub, wonder if theres a more scalable federation protocol out there

it could have been done much better.

Care to expand on this point?

I’m presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit’s,

Eg:

/post/{title}-{title_id}

/post/{title}-{title_id}/comments

Etc.

I have all the code changes locally but waiting for a new PSU fot my home server to come in tomorrow for my dev server as i dont feel like setting up postgres etc on my laptop

Yep! Although it is too bad that when you sesrch for reddit alternstives, that lemmy doesn’t come up.

Bonus points for: a way to get my playlists/liked songs off of spotify :)

Absolutely. The value from the knowledge that I’ve gained from reddit is intangible. It will be next to impossible for me to not use it as reference material in the future. I mean we’re talking about close to 2 decades of crowdsourced information.

Being able to filter out bad information with downvotes was also amazing, and part of the reason I will most likely be moving away from beehaw communities (no downvotes, wtf?? trying to be youtube, eh? 🤣 )

It will still be a useful repository of knowledge. It’s going to be a hard transition, most of the time when I google something I need to append site:reddit.com, to get a useful answer

Note: you will most likely still be able to view from mobile browser via teddit even after the api cutoff date

Nice! Ill give this a shot, as I have something like 5 unis near me

I’m not sure if anything could at this point. The large amount of users has resulted in a lot lower quality of posts.

Yeah at work we mask all responses to the client in production to x00, but in the scenereo the original commenter laid out exposing the 403 would be best.

Adding a modal client side would prob be best here.

404 wouldn’t be the right status code, 403 would be more suitable.
