Just curious: how would you classify Chrome OS? As Community/Linux or Community/Linux/Chrome (to recognise how much heavy lifting the browser is doing). And would you want to call Google’s additions ‘Community’ or something else?

Well, it won’t help you (or me), but the the most active is probably https://hexbear.net/c/ama (the lemmy.world seems to have got nuked, and the already-mentioned lemmy.ca one is the only other one I found)

Oh this is one of those new-fangled ‘immutable’ OSs. I just watched a PeerTube Video from The Linux Experiment about it - it looks complicated but it’s something I’d like to try out at some point in the future.

Yeah (well, nerds anyway). With Lemmy, if you do curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://lemmy.wtf/c/gametrailers/followers | jq . it tells you there’s 68 but not who they are. With PeerTube you can do curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://peertube.wtf/video-channels/startgametrailers/followers?page=1 | jq . and it provides names (including me and you and a bot from leaf.dance)

(edit to fix URLs)

It’s perhaps worth mentioning that - unlike Lemmy - PeerTube makes subscriber info public. I mean, it’s no great secret that I’ve subbed to your channel at !startgametrailers@peertube.wtf, but it’s the kind of thing that some people care about.

Hey! This guy doesn’t know about the three seashells!

I think it’s just a desire to indicate some uncertainty about something (like - I’m not an expert, my opinion on whatever could change with time or new information). A full stop seems arrogant somehow.

I realise it’s not a good impulse and mostly resist. Mostly …

(that last one’s nothing to do with the above reasoning, it’s just a line from Aliens that’s stuck in my head).

Wanting to end all text communications with ellipses …

Think we should maybe walk before we run here.

Most of their communities look to be German, but their biggest one - !europe@feddit.org - is English language only

Communities on feddit.de won’t update 'cos the instance is kaput - the replacement is https://feddit.org/

If they’re just looking for the word ‘lemmy’ in the URL, link to the version of the post from an instance that doesn’t have ‘lemmy’ in. E.g. for this post, instead of https://lemmy.ml/post/19458783, link to https://piefed.social/post/208919 or some even more obscure platform.

On lemmy.ml, it’s showing that your post has been made in the ‘afaraf’ language btw, so most people won’t see it, and it’s probably worth fixing with an edit.

I saw that there’s !chronicillness@lemmy.world

Dunno if it’s exactly what you’re looking for - it seems quite memey

I wouldn’t do this personally, but if I did, I think I’d at least pipe the results to head -n 1 to only act on the first result.

Accounts (which contain the private key that signs the headers in your posts, and the public key to verify) are required for ActivityPub to work.

Oh, okay. Citing the specs is a good argument killer.

There’s a Closed Issue relating to this at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3540 From there you can navigate to the right place to open a new Issue if you want.

That’s arguably the expected behaviour - for a discussion, ‘link’ effectively takes you to the comments, for an article (or a link to a image), it takes you there instead.

You could use ‘guid’ instead - that always links to the post on Lemmy, and it usually contains a useful thing on other sites’ RSS feeds.

Oh, right. Sorry. I’ve gone back and checked the post I was thinking of when I made that comment, and - yeah - it turns out I was misremembering / didn’t properly investigate the first time.

Yeah - I think anything the UI is doing, it’s getting the info from the API, so the poster would’ve had to use the ‘cross-post’ feature. There are some apps (e.g. Voyager) that try to wrangle cross-posts by title or URL, but title-matching can give false postives, and URL-matching usually assumes that one link hasn’t picked up some cruft, and it can’t do much for uploaded images if the poster didn’t cross-post (because it’ll be 2 different files with different URLs)
