Whoa this looks sweet, great job! A few suggestions:
I just mean only displaying the parent comment ( if one exists ) in a quote, it would still be flat. Example:
In lemmy-ui, I have to build the tree from the flat comments manually. You could do the same, or create a “2-level” one which has the comment, and its optional parent. Then you could check for the parent in the handlebars template and do a quote-style thing.
I wouldn’t recommend actually inserting quoted comment text for comment replies: its a problem of displaying context only.
At least for reddit, there is a reddit -> lemmy importer script, that does a DB import. https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter
Nice! Just tested this out, it works well. I had to use LEMMY_INTERNAL_HOST=https://lemmy.ml ROCKET_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 cargo run since I develop over a network.
The main thing that makes it difficult tho, is the lack of comment trees. phpBB is flat, like pretty much all these old forums. You might be able to provide the parent comment context, I think some of them use a quoted-style syntax, to at least show what the current comment is replying to, then you could keep everything flat.
We’re not perfect, just doing the best we can. If you demand that we are, I suggest you leave right now, because we can never be perfect.
I wouldn’t want a mass import like that here, but you could do on your own instance.
Click subscribed then the rss button.
Even without tags, the searching is probably good enough to start one.
Either this, or using an optional &title= param is the only way I’d support this, and in that case you might as well include the whole post title, maybe changing spaces to underscores.
It’d be nice if there were some. I did a ton of LAN parties when I was in HS, and at that time every game let you host your own LAN server and play, even disconnected from the net if you wanted.
Ah cool. Should be easy enough to add, open up an issue on lemmy-ui with this info.
Sorry, I thought that was in response to your RSS comment. You can only block communities from your profile settings currently.
The RSS feed is advertised, on that button. There is an <a href to that RSS feed also, so I’m not sure why your browser extension wouldn’t pick it up.
There is one on all community pages.
We recently added private communities, and might eventually add some new user limitations… but I’m very wary of reputation or gamified based systems, or one that isn’t welcoming for new users. It’ll need lots of discussion before we add anything like that.
We added this a few months ago. Go to your profile settings, and the blocks tab.
Nice job! I’ll be watching ur repo.
Could you open up a github issue for this one.
Thx!
