@nutomic:
- Remove categories, because they aren’t customizable, filterable, or multi-lingual (#1429, !176)
- Various changes to allow federation with Pleroma:
- Removed code for compatibility with Lemmy v0.8.9 and older (!178)
- Some code refactoring (!172, !175)
- Wrote a statement on Lemmy.ml politics (together with @dessalines)
@dessalines:
- Worked on replacing
config-rs, with @canop’sdeser-hjsonandmerge.config-rs, as well as about 3 dependent libraries, are abandoned and have been broken for a few months on newer versions of rust. !1433 - This allows us to move up from rust
1.47.0to use rust1.50.0. !1452 - Working on splitting the
user_table into a federated, calledperson, and alocal_usertable. This is a lot bigger effort than I expected. - Emoji picker now uses utf8 emojis, rather than short names. #184
- Merged a few PRs from @gazconroy to convert our current API docs to an AsyncAPI html. This is close to being ready.
- Changed subscribers to users on main page user count.
- Upgraded lemmy-ui deps, including husky, and prettier, and typescript lints. (This might require clearing out git hooks for any front end devs)
- Fixed an issue with markdown buttons not working on site and community sidebars. #182
- Using a more recent version of cargo-chef for builds.
Hey just wanted to use this occasion to thank the devs ! Thank you so much, I recently discovered Lemmy (thanks to Lemmur) and it really looks and feels awesome. You guys seems to be great people holding a project that I already like a lot !
Thank you again, much love !
Thanks 😊
Wondering what kind of content is going to be federated with Pleroma? Haven’t they already got groups?
The first thing to federate will likely be comments, meaning that Pleroma users will be able to comment on Lemmy posts. But I just found another issue with that, so it looks rather tricky.
So, to clarify: is this about the upcoming Pleroma groups? So that a Pleroma user will see a Lemmy post in a Lemmy community as a remote Pleroma toot in a Pleroma group?
I’m not sure about the Pleroma side of things, but it seems that Pleroma can already fetch and show Lemmy posts if you search for the URL.
How it’s represented then on the Pleroma side, just as a post from a user or what? The community of the post is being skipped?
I dont use Pleroma, so no clue. You could try it yourself I guess.
Its very experimental at this point, @nutomic@lemmy.ml can speak to it better.
So that’s Pleroma groups, great! Glad to see it’s being developed.
With Categories I assume you mean communities categories, right? Is there any plan to re-implement this in the future? I really like the idea if it could be done better. :/
Yes, community categories. Maybe at some point we could implement them again, but it would be a really big task (and we have a lot of other tasks that seem more important).
Understandable.
damn some libraries being abandoned must be a real pain.
Yup, me and @nutomic@lemmy.ml went down a frustrating 3 day long rabbit hole that started with one library, and ended up with several that don’t have maintainers, and are effectively dead. There are only a few people besides us yelling at them because it broke a lot of downstream projects, so we had the option to either fix some of the lower level libraries, or just skip a lot of them altogether and go with one well-maintained one with less upstream dependencies.
