Lemmy maintainer. Interested in politics, video games, and many other things.
Thats a possibility, but it would get very verbose in case of a discussion with long comments. And then there would be cases like a user manually quoting something (so the same text might be quoted twice in a row), or having to exclude the automatic quote when the responded comment comes right before the current one.
I think this solution is preferable.
Displaying comments in nested form would look very bad, i dont want to do that.
Another problem is that phpBB forums are always organized into hierarchical categories (example). To make it work properly, such categorization will have to be added to Lemmy (optional, could be disabled for instances that use lemmy-ui).
Auto-generating quotes is one possibility, though I dont like that it implies rewriting the comment text. It could also be ugly in case there is already a quote. Or there could be a text field which links to the comment being responded to.
Another option would be a config option which disables nested comments entirely (both over federation and api). That means lemmyBB users wouldnt get to see all comments.
Actually I tend to agree with @PP44@lemmy.ml. Maybe the problem you are describing could be better solved by having admins review new communities.
Seems like a very useful project. You can add a link to it in the Lemmy docs if you want.
Btw instead of copy-pasting the structs from Lemmy into your project, you could pull them directly from crates.io. Disadvantage is that it will force you to pull in lot of dependencies that have to be compiled, but that could probably be avoided in the future by adding feature flags to Lemmy crates.
Either one should work. Anyway, this post shows that images are working correctly in new posts now. But you will have to edit old posts manually to remove the www from the url.
Its possible that certbot messed up something in your nginx config, but i dont see how that would affect the html sent by the server. Did you previously have www.beehaw.org set in docker-compose.yml? Maybe its still using the old setting.
Otherwise i cant think of anything.
Hmm, then did you configure www.beehaw.org in some other place? Because Lemmy certainly doesnt add that.
What value did you put in the line below? It should be beehaw.org, without www.

FYI if you want to run a bot on lemmy.ml, you should definitely ask the admins about it first. In my opinion it could easily be considered spam.
Hmm not sure. We were having a bug recently where lemmy.ml failed to send anything to other instances, but that should be fixed. @dessalines@lemmy.ml any idea?
Yes with Activitypub federation you generally have to trust server admins with the data they handle (similar with private messages). Though I suppose it would be possible for communities to anonymize votes when announcing them to followers, then only the admin of the community’s instance could see who voted.
