I like Untruth Social lol

I don’t think caching benefits Lemmy and PieFed content that is changing very rapidly (e.g. new comments). That type of caching makes more sense for Lemmy/PieFed images.

However, bot traffic can get very expensive these days with all the AI crawlers. Cloudflare offers very good tooling to block these bots. I know there are other open source tools and I’m not defending Cloudflare, but it’s also easy to criticize when you’re not the person running the instance. From what I’ve seen, all the admins work very hard to keep the threadiverse running. I’m guessing that’s why a lot of instances are using Cloudflare.

Depends what you’re looking for. PieFed devs themselves said Blorp is very good. It’s just a different take. If you like the official PoeFed UI, use that. If you want something more modern, imo use Blorp.

Full disclosure, I’m the dev behind Blorp.

People have no idea how much work it is to build a real app. Theres a reason that this is generally a full time job.

One of the libraries we talked about, though @aeharding@vger.social did all the work, is an abstraction built over lemmy-js-client that automatically adds PieFed support. I really think opening communication between everyone will unlock more opportunity for collaboration.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/threadiverse

Sorry to bother you here, but I send you a PM. I would love to collaborate more. I have a group chat with the other Lemmy/PieFed devs. Some of the devs are already working on shared logic/libraries between apps. I also 100% understand if you’re spread too thin and don’t want more messages.

https://blorpblorp.xyz/ now supports PieFed flairs! This functionality will take a couple weeks to roll out to the native iOS and Android apps.

I had no idea truth social was powered by mastodon. But it makes sense that maga is too dumb to build their own platform lol.

I believe it bootstraps the object, not the instance. You still won’t be able to find an object from an instance you don’t federate with.

This is based on an explanation from @MrKaplan@lemmy.world, unless I misunderstood MrKaplan?

Ahh that makes sense. I guess you couldn’t search anything your instance doesn’t federate with anyway.

I love federation, but why does a git server need federation? Am I missing something, or is this federating for the sake of federating?

Not that you should vibe code, but you could vibe code this so easily. Have it output a static website. Give the source code a scan if you’re paranoid. Check the network tab if you’re really really paranoid. But literally you could have it output this as a static index.html file that you drop into your browser of choice.

This is the only type of coding LLMs should ever be used for imo. A small, very clearly defined task that is very easy to verify if it works. And code that won’t infect a larger project.

Edit: as others pointed out, that url isn’t base64 encoded. You would have to clearly define what you are trying to do if you want this to work. For example, do all urls follow the same format as the above?

I’m not an apple hater, but that’s kinda insane considering how hostile they are towards developers.

I maintain my own Lemmy client (Blorp), and this sounds like a cool idea. How do you get your known list of federated instances?

I currently have my own threadiverse crawler I wrote, but I disregard any Lemmy/PieFed instance with <20 monthly active users. That brings the list down to about 63 Lemmy instances and 7 PieFed. I wonder if that list is extensive enough to implement the resolve object mechanism you mentioned.

Web 1.0 was great. Why Web 2.0?

There were 15 stakeholders, 1 full time developer and 20 overseas contracted developers with a 12 hour time zone difference from the full time dev. All designs were done in PowerPoint by one of the stakeholders. The single full time developer was only ever able to talk to the PowerPoint design stakeholder, and the other 14 stakeholders communicated through the single PowerPoint stakeholder. Now that I think about it, the 15 stakeholders may have actually just been the 1 stakeholder pretending to be multiple people.

I once had a job that worked like that lol

Pretty sure Google+ only made it to 7

But you have a Daddy and Mommy who love you!

And, a Windows Home Server! Does that make you happy?

They had me until windows

I have absolutely no idea what any of that is after tor. I have heard of i2p but I forget

Interesting. I run a Threadiverse client on iOS and Android. I haven’t run into any issues with Google, yet.

Apple has this rule I had to comply with:

• You must be able to delete your account from the app
• Lemmy delete account via the API requires password entry, even if you’re already logged in
• Apple however, claims password entry is too much friction for the user to delete their account
• A workaround is to link out to Lemmy website to delete your account. Even if you have to enter your password on the website, in Apple’s mind, this is somehow allowed despite being more friction?

I get the sense Apple wrote these rules to improve user experience, and they’re applied without anyone really considering what effect they’re having on the UX.
