I had a shufti at the codebase, but I'm not enough of a Python dev to have an opinion.
I'm currently still planning on getting a Letterboxd sub on Black Friday, but I'd love for there to be a good open-source alternative - just not enough to code in Python to help make it happen! One is on my to-do list, but it's already several lifetimes long...
Do we know if the BookWyrm source code is of a good quality? I know developers always prefer starting from scratch, but sometimes it is actually the best idea.
oh ffs, I'd only just found out about letterboxd and now it's just a matter of time until it's ruined by greed.
edit: Having researched the buyers (Canadian investment firm Tiny), I'm a little more hopeful that it won't be ruined. We should definitely be thinking about a fediverse option though.
ok, thanks for that, I think I just misunderstood which instance you were talking about when you said "the instance".
A related question you might be able to answer: if I search from the recipient's end and pull over a post that way, is it then federated out by that recipient instance? Or is it better to just delete and repost?
Is it a problem their end or this end? I thought the issue was that the outgoing server (ours, in this case) wasn't federating things outwards because it mistakenly believed the recipient was dead.
@snowe@programming.dev @Ategon@programming.dev Outgoing federation to reddthat.com seems to still be broken (or broken again?) - yesterday I had to search for a post there to make it show up, and I've just posted a comment that also isn't appearing.
It's only for very old Kindles, really - Amazon have a new version they use (azw3) and everyone else uses epub.
This is an enormously overblown headline for such a small change.
You're 100% right, I think we do a lot more to stop content rotting like this. Now it's half gone, with any contributions from other instances unable to federate, fracturing any more conversation.
Maybe we need to do two things:
The migration one is tricky, because ActivityPub is very tied to urls. I guess that you could make dummy account for the conversation you brought over, so you'd at least have a read-only record.
I thought you were describing Debian (FOSS only, stable and conservative, boring in the good way). It does take longer to get the updates because they build everything themselves, but that's part of the stability deal.
I'm no expert though; I'm mostly reading to get suggestions for when I make switch properly myself.
It's too late though, scientists already had to rename the genes. Although of course there are other things that can trigger it, not just in science.
This only works with the weird way Americans say pecan. I'd say PEE-can.
