aka freamon@lemmy.world, freamon@feddit.nl, and any username from lemmon.website

I don’t think it’s technically impossible - all the information that another site needs to properly interpret some activity is in the JSON that’s sent. I get the sense that it might be unrealistic to expect Mastodon to make the necessary changes though. It seems more of a political issue than a technical one.
It’s partly an issue of keys. Every fediverse actor has a private key and a public key. When my instance sends this to fediverse@lemmy.world, it’s signed by my private key, and lemmy.world uses my public key to verify it. When fediverse@lemmy.world sends this comment out, it uses it’s own private key to sign it. It can’t just re-transmit my comment, because it doesn’t have my private key. All it can do is Announce that I’ve made the comment (and sign the Announce).
Mastodon treats Announces as Boosts, so every post/comment is interpreted as a thing that fediverse@lemmy.world has boosted, so you get all these un-connected posts appearing. I think it’s mostly up to Mastodon to remedy.
It works better if a Mastodon actor posts into a Lemmy community, then you get the mix like you imagine. e.g.: https://mastodon.world/@Flash/112095241193510662 (this particular post was crowbarred into Lemmy via !tails@lemmon.website, but it would be the same if the author had done it.)
No settings page (as far as I’m aware), but you can use the API to get everything (posts, comments, etc):
step 1: get login token -
curl --request POST \
--url https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '
{
"username_or_email": "2br02b",
"password": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
}
'
step 2: use login token (big long string starting with ‘ey’) to get data -
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user?username=2br02b&page=1' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR-JWT'
Increment page number until you have everything. source: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_user
Edited to account for blahaj updating to 0.19.3 … hopefully that’s the last big instance to change.
It’s been about a week since sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world updated, so results from those instances will start appearing again soon.
Voyager has a setting for “No subscribed in All/Local” that does this. It’s better on than off, obviously, but it doesn’t turn All or Local into some kind of goldmine.
I get the sense that, unless you’re willing to do it yourself, feature requests for Lemmy don’t have much chance of being realised.
Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn’t then duplicated to 50 other servers … yeah, I don’t see how that can work.
(I’m just kidding - your site looks neat.)
!quickanimalfacts@lemm.ee - yeah, go on then. subbed.
The crawler at lemmyverse.net has picked up on an ngrok URL I’ve used for messing around with Lemmy. I was using it last night to play with PieFed, and saw it make about 20 attempts to read an API that isn’t there. I thought - oh, I wonder if that will break it - and sure, enough, there wasn’t a 6:00 update from it this morning. Ho hum.
Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.
Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don’t think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.
This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It’s always been free for that - it’s just, you know, you’d have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)
Not quite, no. I know what it isn’t at least.
I’ll keep going - I’m sure the article’s author is someone who genuinely uploaded some confidential info and then became really involved with privacy/GDPR etc, and not someone who was always been really involved with privacy/GDPR issues and now has a story to fit.
I’m gonna find this guy’s image …
https://monero.town/pictrs/image/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.jpeg … nope
https://monero.town/pictrs/image/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001.jpeg … nope

https://monero.town/pictrs/image/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003.jpeg … nope
Mmm, I’m sure it won’t take long. Just have to remember to do it all again for .jpg, .webp, and .png.
Anyway, I’ll let you know when I get it.
Informing a human that their work has already been done for them by a bot is oddly appropriate for this post.
Not that I’m aware of, just communities that seem like they might fit, but don’t quite:
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca
!communityspotlight@lemmy.world
!newcommunities@lemmy.world
!newcommunities@discuss.online
I’m sure you could make a more meta-type post in one of these though.
A quick Google suggests you’re correct - big sites have implemented their own versions, but it looks like everyone has spent the last decade arguing with other about a CommonMark standard.
I think it’s because spoiler tags in lemmy have been custom-made for some reason, whereas all the other stuff is standard markdown. Voyager is a web app, so it can maybe only render whatever the engine it relies on can render.
Edit: Turns out I’m 2 for 2 on making incorrect statements in this comment.

This issue is about the fact that if you delete your account, lemmy will delete all the text in any posts and comments you’ve made. It won’t go through those comments, read any URLs you’ve uploaded pictures too, and delete them if they’ve been hosted/cached locally.
Putting the lemmy devs response to one side for a moment: what’s the concern here? The URLs for images in picts-rs are a random hex string - if you don’t know the URL, you can’t find it, and even if you do, you wouldn’t be able to connect it to someone unless the info was literally in the image itself.
I’ve compiled lemmy a few times - it’s fairly straightforward. I’ve tried to compile kbin before, but gave up bored and pissed off with the instructions - they seem endless, and like a big list of ‘edit this file’ (with no indication for whether you’re adding or updating info), ‘now edit this file’, ‘now go back and edit the first file again’. I know mbin isn’t kbin, but the instructions are the same.
I was trying because someone from there subscribed to a community I made just using ActivityPub, but nothing I’ve sent there has actually appeared. If you send the wrong stuff to lemmy, it errors. It’s not always the most useful message, but it’s at least a ‘400 Bad Request’, not the ‘200 OK {}’ you get back from kbin. What does it want? Does it not like ‘Create/Page’? Is there a problem with the content? I don’t know, because I can’t [be bothered to] compile it, and the tech specs for these 'bins lead to a 404.
Lemmy doesn’t seem to get much recognition in the wider Fediverse - it tends to get bundled as part of ‘other apps’. Mastodon is much bigger, so better integration with Lemmy probably gets deprioritised below their own issues and feature requests (e.g. I was reading today that Markdown support is often requested, but the base version still doesn’t have it)
