Wait what? You can export settings? That would've been helpful to know last night

Edit: it's under advanced settings

When I first saw your comment about Flemmy, I set a notification to look for it in a few months time.

As I understand, the name has been changed to Luna. Is it still hosting a mini-instance of Lemmy on your phone or computer you control, purely for you to interact with the fediverse?

I liked the idea of owning my own account without bothering to setup my domain to automatically point to my raspberry pi. Specifically because last time I tried, the exact setup documentation from my domain provider would give me an error that seemed contradictory (I think, it's been over a year).

And their justice system

Here's the created issue if you (or anyone else) care to track it

Great to see a name I recognize over here!

I'm looking into making a bot for [email protected] to implement a vote to tag system so people can vote to add tags to it for purposes like indicating what genres it falls into. (With maybe keeping the bot general so other communities could use it)

Afaik there's no current tag system so I was thinking of just storing it a basic database until there is. If it takes too long for them to implement one, then maybe I'll add a web interface for it.

My only experience with creating a bot is discord and the discord.js library. I was wondering if there was someone who could help me make it. I can learn any language for it, but I have an amount of experience in js, lua, java, c# (a long time ago), and c++ (last I remember was an attempt at multi threading that kinda fell flat).

I saw Lemmy Guardian over at [email protected] and that's about the only example I could find (I just started looking).

Edit: I've gotten home and done more looking.

I found a large thread about implementing automoderator in Lemmy (with the suggested name of Janitor), as well as a discussion on tags. The addition of an automoderator would be nice, but I do not expect my slightly niche bot to conflict with that. Some of the topics brought up in the tags discussion on the other hand, might directly conflict with my proposed bot. It seems to me that the consensus is that unmoderated tags are not going to happen, and that the tags will only be controllable by the poster (and probably moderator).

On the other hand, I saw a lot more bots listed that I could further look into, as well as a typescript api library, rather than just the python one I found with the earlier bot

I'm down to try my hand at making the bot, but I've never maintained one of my projects before. In fact, most of my projects have been those pick up for a couple months and then drop it with the "plan" to pick it back up later.

Long story short, I'll give it a try but someone else should probably take over at some point.

What are your thoughts on trying to implement a bigger tag system if/when Lemmy gets one? I remember a meta post discussing it on Reddit.

I, admittedly, don't remember that much of it, but I do remember feeling like it boiled down to a combination of "we tried before" and "we're too old a community to be adding big new things"

Of course, it should include the basic "required" flairs (OC, meta, text (rename?)), but I think a series, oneshot, and maybe in-universe or episode 1 tags would be a good basic minimum to add.

Maybe proper genre tags could be voted on by commentors rather than relying on every poster actually using them or correctly identifying all relevant genres.

Does writing Arduino code really discount me from being a Linux noob? I still think I need to learn python to implement my macros rather then rely on GOME keybinds and bash scripts.

I also need to learn how to make a GNOME theme. I just want the default but with a different accent color. I used to use an extension, but it's out of date and doesn't convince pop-os to be in dark mode.

Damn... Every time I start talking about my experience I just start rambling about barely connected things.

Goodness, you have 8 duplicates of this comment...

I started writing that, got a little carried away, then decided even if no one cares, talking into the void has always been cathartic
