presumably the idea is just to use/interact with the device on one's own terms, rather than being harrassed by it into engagement?

i do both, but they're different things.

 

this update

  • uses dropdown menu widgets everywhere, and
  • fully implements comment folding widgets.

the readme is also updated to explain these features.

holler if you run into any bugs.

lem.el update 0.20 (codeberg.org)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml to c/emacs@lemmy.ml
 

added lots of stuff in this update, some of which may be a little green still.

  • commands to navigate comment trees
    • up to top-level comment
    • prev/next same-level comment
  • various commands to selectively fold (hide) comment branches
    • un/fold current comment
    • un/fold current comment + its children
    • un/fold current comment's entire branch
    • un/fold entire buffer
  • added more sorting/listing drop-down widgets to make it easier to see what sorting is in effect (and to change sorting by mouse)
  • fix tab navigation to (hopefully) all links everywhere
  • make default sorting/listing in views better match the web UI
  • fix sorting options in user view
  • various other fixes

one thing to note is that this release switches the S/s bindings, for consistency.

lem 0.19 update (codeberg.org)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml to c/emacs@lemmy.ml
 
  • implement overview (mixed comments + posts) for user views
  • implement unified inbox (mixed replies, mentions, private messages)
  • add communities moderated to user view
  • add sort/listing widgets to browse communities for nice sorting feedback
  • add search current user command
  • add search current community command

I thought it might be nice to add drop-down sort/listing widgets to the top of all feed-based views, roughly similar to the web client, but it seems that the emacs widget library doesn't allow placing multiple menu widgets on the same line. :/

EDIT: turns out it's possible, so i'll add them to the main views.

 

additions:

  • pagination for inbox views (replies, mentions, pms)
  • create communities (basic, no images yet)
  • delete communities (completing)
  • fix view-user-at-point
  • display community's restricted/nsfw status
  • fix next/prev on user search results

I recently updated lem.el to 0.12.

The release makes encrypted tokens optional for easier use. If you update and find you can't load lem.el, delete ~/.emacs.d/lem.plstore and log in again. If you want your auth tokens to be encrypted, set lem-encrypt-auth-tokens to non-nil. You'll also need to set plstore-encrypt-to to a GPG key of yours.

you could take ask on the repo or ask the dev, they're obvs active on the fediverse. (poss relevant: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/1468.)

updated lem.el lemmy client for emacs.

  • added an action/response/update display system for direct feedback upon executing an action (feature, save, delete, like, create, edit item).
  • added a completing-read system
  • added un/block instances, communities, and users functions.
  • various other fixes.

did some more hacking on lem.el. 0.8 release includes:

  • rich editing of posts/comments
  • rainbow bar indentation for comment trees
  • tabulated list for communities overview
  • fixes to comment trees and many other things.

there's still lots to fix up, but its running pretty well now.

& hm i wonder is there any other overlap btw emacsers + the lemmy codebase? i'm just adding features as i work out how things work, often in an amateur ad-hoc manner...

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

blocking instances for users was added in 0.19. it works like community block: you don't see any posts from an instance, but you can see the activity of users from that instance on any other instances where they do stuff.

[this is not an endorsement of federating with any meta product. i believe in deplatforming hostile actors, which they've well and truly proven themselves to be.]

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i read the page title, then looked at first result and it was mastodon.social and second was mstdn.social.

mayb for your site to match its title you want to not make "federated" the default status sort option?

 

did a maniac hack on the old lem.el recently, mainly for the 0.19 release. overhauled the logic of all the sorting/listing commands. they should be more rigorous and flexible to update now. various other fixes too. pushed to main, so will hit MELPA soon.

also added unified inbox for replies, mentions, and private messages, and various other minor display improvements.

ah its back up now, thanks.

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i was going to test these new changes out for my client, but it seems that https://voyager.lemmy.ml is down?

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

yeah actually, rendering markdown is what requires the binary

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

glad you got going!

thanks for opening issues in the repo.

bindings are just work to do. development moving v fast, mainly I'm just still trying to add basic features. eg posting is only 4 days old.

I'm not sure about the markdown issue, I just require markdown-mode. mayb I use a fn in the mode that requires the binary.

Lemmy uses markdown, so to render post content I take the markdown data, render it using markdown-mode, then render the HTML output.

not sure how else to do that, nor how to not rely on markdown mode.

I shd look into it more, but mainly I had to just find my own way, as Lemmy is hardly documented at all.

feel free to make more requests, its easier than fumbling along alone.

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

that's interesting and also pretty frustrating. i didn't think i'd encounter such issues using plstore. are you able to provide a backtrace for the error? it'll show what is calling the encryption functions, and there could be an error before the one displayed. also try manually opening the .plstore file in your .emacs.d directory and encrypt and decrypt it while open. maybe you do just have some plstore problems. / btw, lemmy and lem.el require markdown, so best to install it. the latter requires markdown-mode too.

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (8 children)

interesting. mastodon.el also uses plstore, so if it works (saving your credentials) your machine's encryption should be working. but the auth process for the two services is totally different, so I had to write the lem.el auth code from scratch. I can take a look at it v soon, I'm keen to have any auth issues sorted out asap.

it'd help if you cd describe when the error message appears, or what exactly you do that causes it.

actually a backtrace would be most useful to track down the error.

you cd also try opening the plstore file in your .Emacs.d folder and encrypting / decrypting it.

thanks!

feel free to message me or to open an issue on the repo if you run into issues getting lem.el going. others have already helped me iron out a few getting-started issues.

A client library and UI for Lemmy, has most of the basics in working order now. interested to hear your feedback if you give it a go. other complex UI features like rich post composing and image handling will be ported from mastodon.el.

it is designed to have a clean API layer, so the functions in lem-api.el could be used to create other interfaces.
