ah, Lenny. I really love Lenny.

(or a b)

i never thought of lisp as concise before

i read the page title, then looked at first result and it was mastodon.social and second was mstdn.social.

mayb for your site to match its title you want to not make "federated" the default status sort option?

i'm so high i can see hotdogs grooving, smirking, and winking at me.

I have quite a few endpoints working now, each mostly just with the basic options implemented, and its easy to add endpoints with a handy macro i wrote. There are still quite a few quirks with lemmy itself that i'm struggling to work out, like how to search for my second account on another instance and actually have it appear in results. I might ask in a support room. The type-heavy rust and ts code is super foreign to me, it's also very large. Moreover, the various documentation links, another one is https://join-lemmy.org/api/classes/LemmyHttp.html, sometime contradict each other. Maybe having the basics down I cd start on some necrco diy interface. [posted and edited via lem.el]

(my old) emacs lemmy client: https://codeberg.org/martianh/lem.el.

it works? i'm using it to post this...

blocking instances for users was added in 0.19. it works like community block: you don't see any posts from an instance, but you can see the activity of users from that instance on any other instances where they do stuff.

[this is not an endorsement of federating with any meta product. i believe in deplatforming hostile actors, which they've well and truly proven themselves to be.]

understatement of the year

i'm building a client, happy to help if i can, also to receive help! main issues i have had so far is how to actually use a number of the methods' parameters, like limit (whats the max value?), page (how does pagination actually work?), etc. so far i have been storing any useful info about the API (like the valid values for a given type) in my own lists then querying them in my code.

i thought it was a troll but it's real?

it does require an internet connection yes. It doesn't have much in the way of offline functionality (it just interacts directly with the API). I'm not sure if Codeberg allows Tor access.

I looked into the dependencies just now. I thought I maybe only used a few 29 functions, but actually I heavily use vtable, which is 29 too. Maybe look in to getting Emacs from Debian backports, or even building it yourself (I do so, and I'm not at all an experienced source-builder person: it's quite easy, and also common.)

looks like a lacrosse stick, or a crutch maybe?

thanks for the link. so https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/src/api_routes_http.rs shows the paths and params, i tried them in a rest client and it's no too hard to follow.

the mastodon.el http layer isn't great, but it could be v quickly adapted for this case.

i have a rooted android (running calyx) and it just works and its great. i never fuck around with it at all, whether due to necessity or ricing desires.

lem.al also implements a client, similar in design to mastodon.el. i did the api layer so that others could implement other kinds of interfaces such as a gnus front end if they desired.

presumably the idea is just to use/interact with the device on one's own terms, rather than being harrassed by it into engagement?

i do both, but they're different things.

interesting question. do you mean because if you use limit, and as results are returned unsorted, you might end up with children comments without their parents? have you actually had a go using limit to fetch from your 1000s of comments?

https://codeberg.org/martianh/lem has some basics, functions returning plain JSON. i didn't do any auth, but if its oauth and so similar to mastodon.el, we cd also just move its auth code into the fedi.el library. and fedi-http.el is already set up to handle auth tokens.

discovering lemmy's query parameters is quite a pain for me, as i don't know rust.

EDIT: all good, I worked it out, I found some other api docs.

Is the ModeratorView listing type in this release? If so what feed view is it available in? I can't see it in the lemmy.ml webUI at the moment, nor in the API docs, but the code is merged.

thanks a lot for this
