Like skavau mentioned elsewhere, the realtime chatrooms do serve a useful purpose. It is more freeflowing and responsive. So, it’s nice to do things like realtime debugging or issue resolution (a lot of other piefed admins are there to provide expertise). Also, we have gone there in the past to brainstorm different feature ideas or ways to solve an issue, just to kind of get a temperature check from some power users there.

A development focused community isn’t a bad idea, really. rimu has mentioned in the past that we need to dogfood our own platform more. We have some specific ones already:

• for css customization - [email protected]
• for api questions/updates - [email protected]
• for plugins - [email protected]

But, having a catch-all everything else might be useful. The closest thing we have to this currently is the codeberg repo. There is lots of info to be found in codeberg issues and PR’s and I find myself linking those quite often in matrix discussions. However, it isn’t something that casual users usually know how to navigate or search.

The different chat platform options are there mainly to help meet people where they are. Lots of the fediverse uses matrix, so many people only really reach out to us on there. We made a zulip instance to help address some of the shortcomings of the matrix chatroom since Zulip allows for topic-based organization in a kind of hybrid between a chatroom and a forum. However, the number of people using zulip is far smaller than matrix.

Interesting. It shows up, but just as the shortcode:

@[email protected] - not sure what the json looks like coming from mitra, but at least in the short term it might make sense to just have piefed interpret emoji it doesn’t understand as an upvote (like it had been doing up to now) so that it doesn’t break the UI like this.

rimu just pushed it up to 15 like an hour ago. I just pushed the changes to crust.

Thanks for tracking that down. It makes finding the issue and fixing it a lot easier. rimu will likely see this thread before I get a chance to sit down and work on it, but should have a fix soon probably. Sorry for the extraneous reports!

Let me see if I understand this issue correctly…

You are a lemmy instance admin. If a user from your instance is moderating a community, then any report in that community that is made by a piefed user is also forwarded to you. This happens even if the user being reported is not local to your instance.

You might not know the answer to this since it happens rarely, but does this happen for reports just in local communities, or also in remote communities that your user is a moderator for? So, if [email protected] is a mod for [email protected], do you still see the report if a piefed user makes a report in commA?

I have both a piefed and a lemmy instance I run for testing things, I can try to mess around with the different permutations for this one.

There’s no winning against Blaze.

Do you mean this post? I’ve not done too much with activitypub code, but it does look like the post made it to crust successfully.

As far as I know, this is the community where it happens so to speak. There is also [email protected] where @[email protected] will post videos showcasing new features. However, not all features have need of a video.

because > doesn’t seem to work in selectors

I learned this the other day when I was trying to troubleshoot some css. It gets html-encoded so it doesn’t work anymore in the selector.
