The new web UI for lemmy 1.0.0 is looking CLEAN

https://lemmy.world/post/42708311

I notice the sidebar says “Active Plugins”, which is dope, I think plugin’s will open up a lot of possibilities for Lemmy. I’ll have to look around, but it got me thinking: I wonder if it’s a worth it now, or if it would be a pain in the ass, to spin up my own test instance (not hard) to start building and playing around with the plugin system.

@[email protected] are the instructions under the plugins section of join-lemmy.org still valid if I wanted to do some plugin development tinkering?

@nutomic - Lemmy

Lemmy Lead Developer and father of two children. I also develop Ibis [https://ibis.wiki/], a federated wiki.

Follow these steps:

  • Use the nightly Docker image for Lemmy and lemmy-ui
  • Setup postgres, pictrs and nginx according to the usual 0.19 instructions
  • Specify plugins in Lemmy config (docs, example)
  • You need to specify the hash for each wasm file (check logfile for error message), or set DANGER_PLUGIN_SKIP_HASH_CHECK (not merged yet, part of the PR above)

Let me know if this works, then I will add it to the documentation. Or better yet, make a PR yourself ;)

Edit: Config from the test server:

plugins: [{ file: "https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-plugins/releases/download/0.1.3/rust_lingua.wasm", hash: "e1f58029f2ecca5127a4584609494120683b691fc63a543979ea071f32cf690f", allowed_hosts: ["0.0.0.0"] }]
