What is this community?

This community is using the blog roll and summarization set up by sly flourish, author of "the lazy dungeon master" as set up here: https://dndblogs.com/

Every day new posts on this blog roll will be posted here by the bot. Posts are disallowed, but comments are allowed on the given posts.

I find this community annoying

You can block this community so that you never see its posts, either through your user settings or the community side bar!

Question for the overlords: What's going on with the duplicate posts from the bot? It seems that about once a day there's a vomit of duplicates from the day previous. I'm a big fan of the service so I've been sorting through, but I worry it might continue forever if someone doesn't ask.

Thanks for pointing this out! I actually didn't notice. I'm out of town for the moment for work, and have been traveling for a bit, but I'll be back home next week and should have a chance to take a look at it.

Weird that it's happening, because the bit has a built in double check for duplicates, but I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.

Thank you for taking a look and for continuing to do the thing for us here!

Took a super quick look today; It does definitely seem to be skipping duplicates, so i'm not sure off hand how or why dupes are getting through. I added some extra logging and i'm going to let it run for a few days, see if i can catch any issues.

yeah, the API library the bot uses to connect to the lemmy API broke when the contract changed in the upgrade to 19.5; I logged an issue on the github for the api, but it hasnt gone anywhere, so i doubt the repo is being actively maintained. I haven't had a chance to really dig into it myself, but if it doesnt go somewhere soon, i might have to see if i can fix it up.

I'm a dev (with zero free time). Point me at it.

I'm also a developer, just been too busy to look at it.

But here's the issue: https://github.com/Fedihosting-Foundation/plemmy/issues/39

There was a new field added (visibility) that links to another object (https://join-lemmy.org/api/types/CommunityVisibility.html), but this is only for one of the calls it makes, i don't know if there's other calls that need to be updated as well to get it fully working.

Edit: from plemmy, the bot uses the following calls:

LemmyHttp.get_community()

plemmy.responses.GetCommunityResponse()

LemmyHttp.create_post()

plemmy.responses.PostResponse()
