I remember them being allowed but I might be thinking of 2023 I guess

edit: yeah was 2023

On lemmy-ui if both posts are both "visible" in the feed they will be compacted into one post if they share the same link meaning there wont be a duplicate post (unless you paginate and theyre on different pages)

Some other frontends such as sync dont do this though but they really should

added functionality for the two rules

• getting all communities with a certain slug
• exclude instance with domain X from above rule

was running into rate limits when trying to check every single linked instance so ive manually put in the larger ones for now

that only works for certain file types afaik. I know in 4.1 there was one time I messed with a files location and had to update manually, forget which file type it was though

Update: made !test@programming.dev and hid it from the feeds for an in-instance testing area

I added code block support to lemmy-ui so if 0.19 comes out before then yes

If not then no but I can try to figure out a solution

starts december 1st

didnt realize I added the programming community to the communities that triggers the bot haha

its relevant to this post but not crosspost relevant, will tweak the triggers

The one issue I ran into is alternate UIs other than lemmy-ui dont seem to collapse crossposts in the post feed so the recommendation of cross-posting everything floods people not using lemmy-ui

Going through and making issues in all of their repositories

We do have a soft fork for the instance getting built up to add features on top of lemmy

Pangora is soft forked so we get changes pulled from lemmy and add new features we need for the site onto their changes (that can then push to go upstream or have for ourselves if they don't want that feature)

Pangora-UI is built from scratch to replace lemmy-ui as a frontend for the site

!pangora@programming.dev

Lemmy.world view

Programming.dev view

I can mod a lemmy.world account and see if I can fix it from that

true moving posts could be something that could be done if lemmy is set to deal with that. I can check to see how difficult that would be to put into lemmy and possibly push a patch out.

If we get that functionality in we can do another poll to determine whether it should switch to that but for now im just polling these options since I assume it wont be a thing for a bit (I tried to push another patch out to the site to make the request community more prominent but it seemed to be having issues with certain aspects of the changes so that needs to be fixed before we can get some updates out)
