Thanks for the suggestion and the code snippets.

i want to see how votes/comments accumulate over time on a post, therefore i would have to poll the “all” posts endpoint in a regular interval. but I would either see new posts with small number of comments/upvoted, or already upvoted post, or i would have to download all posts in a regular time interval which seems impossible to me.

interesting. thanks.

so this would mean that if i wanted to receive an event for each upvote/comment/post in the lemmy fediverse i would have to create my own instance in the ActivityPub space, subscribe to all communities (there is no such single wildcard call (?), so i would have to subscribe to all ~30k communities each by its own and also watch for new communities) and then i could utilize the ActivityPub protocol as instance feed me with their events?

there are currently about 600 instances and 30k communities, but only ~2k communities have more than 600 subscribers (according to [0]). does this mean that those bots only subscribe to communities above a certain threshold?

so the instances only save the metadata/title of federated posts, but when a user wants to see the comments or content, then the other instances are queried for more details?

what are the bots good for?

but a simple plastic bag would be enough for that?

but then the three cover would be connected at the tip? otherwise the plastic is not strong enough to help against deforming?!

First of all: Do they want to make real live friends? having only internet friends doesn’t sound too bad, does it?

they have tried to socialize in a fishbowl event but they weren’t able to get a friend there as I feel it.

you don’t get a friends from a single event. give it more time. much more time. some other comment mention hobbies or groups, and i think this is the key: you don’t go to those events because you want to make friend, but because of you interest and you make friends by accident. Don’t pressure it!

hm. i did not think about serious illnesses when writing my comment. maybe we can specify this as a “not running system”, but i can understand that my first snarky comment could be perceived as rude when you have problems with your body. i fear i walked right in the privileged trap without realizing it?

you can not.

just think about it: 80 to 100 years uptime, no reboot, no fall back system, not even a cold spare. and you want to change something while its running? madness! maybe if you are very lucky you may be able to replace some of the internal components… but not to upgrade, only if your on the risk to loose the whole system…

90 millions years of evolution, or you: who knows better?

It looks funny on pictures, but i bet everything would go south if you would straighten it out or reorganize it.

If you don’t know the intend why it looks as it currently looks i would not touch it. even if you know why it looks like that and you can somehow compensate those effects, i would not do this on my own body for the first time…

Never change a running system. Even small changes may have unexpected consequences, if the machine is as complex as our bodies…

Rich text in the modern world is almost exclusively solved by using markdown because it’s such a trivial solution.

markdown is not a trivial solution: there are many different implementations, it’s a barrier for non technical people and it allows you to embed any html, so you need an additional html sanitizer.

my definition of a “rich textbox” is a WYSIWYG field, and markdown does not help you with this?!

yes, you probably would not save the formatted text normalized over multiple database columns, and only use a single field for a the text with formatting embedded in html or another format, and another one with the text without formatting for possible full text search. but even if you would solve this using markdown (which limits you to a quite small subset of text formatting and bad extensibility) you would still need a good data format to store the formatted text in memory that allows you to render the text. and markdown does not help you with this either?!

hoped to discover a good open source software for collaborative editing, but their solution is based on https://standardnotes.com/
