Hello sorcerer. Please erase “Man, I feel like a woman” by Shania Twain. It annoys me anyway, but it not like it makes being a woman sound especially inspiring either (“Colour my hair, do what I dare” - woah, slow down there Shania!). Thanks.

Yeah. There’s no wildcard call. One thing you could do to script it would be pull JSONs from https://data.lemmyverse.net - use one for the initial effort, then subsequent ones to track new communities. You’d definitely want to filter it - as you’ve noticed the vast majority of that 30k are dead or spam or something you wouldn’t want for one reason or another (e.g. communities from instances you’ve defederated from).

As for what bots do, it depends on how they were programmed I suppose. There’s a bonkers one on https://leaf.dance that just seems to crawl comments and subscribe to any ! links it finds, but there are others (I can’t remember their names) where it’s more of a manual job (the mods of a community submit the details to it).

is it in reality not “all” but only “all posts that at least one user of this instance is subscribed to”?

Exactly this, yes. Not literally ‘all’ (a brand new instance would have nothing in its All feed). This is what was meant by ‘partial data set’ - everything for a subscribed community (from the moment it was subscribed to), but nothing for a community that no-one’s subscribed to.

Some instances run bots to populated their All feed more than what would happen naturally (with the idea being that the bot unsubscribes when a human does)

Germans no doubt have a single compound word for Annoyed-I-Am-Asked-To-Be.

Seems like ‘posts’ works okay, but it’s ‘comments’ that don’t (and overview is a mix of both).

API call to see posts:
curl --request GET --url 'https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user?username=beebarfbadger&sort=TopDay&page=1&limit=1' --header 'accept: application/json' | jq .posts[].post.published = 2024-09-26T15:35:33.998368Z (today’s top post is today)

API call to see comments:
curl --request GET --url 'https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user?username=beebarfbadger&sort=TopHour&page=1&limit=1' --header 'accept: application/json' | jq .comments[].comment.published = 2024-03-03T05:09:45.255807Z (this hour’s top comment was in March)

They probably know about it, but if not it’s probably a good idea to report the bug here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues

Poor old Northern Rail - they only just got WiFi in the last couple of years (that’s not even a joke).

I assume you mean the ep 7 reference, which I guess is:
“The long-term contract that I had to sign
Says I’ll be making these movies 'till the end of time”

Oh this is one of those new-fangled ‘immutable’ OSs. I just watched a PeerTube Video from The Linux Experiment about it - it looks complicated but it’s something I’d like to try out at some point in the future.

I just looked at Wookiepedia and it doesn’t list Cereans as being Monotremes, but my main takeaway is ‘Jesus Christ what a terrible website’.

Well now I’m thinking about this guy’s mother (specifically how long the ‘crowning’ process must’ve been whilst she was giving birth)

Since you’ve broadened it out to TV, I’ll use that as an excuse and mention that I think Nicholas Britell’s score for Andor is pretty cracking too.

Well, yeah. Dunno how popular those names still are though. There’s also androgynous-sounding name like ‘Alex’ or 'Andy, of course, but I figured that the general idea was to take a flight of fancy and riff on it, not shoot it down from the skies.

This is from ‘Shaun’ btw, who I mostly associate with videos criticising JK Rowling and her controversial friends.

It’s worth the watch, imo (though I can’t claim to be massively informed about the subject, so I have nothing to refute what he is saying). From what I remember, the gist of the video is that Israel is colonial power in a post-colonial world.

It’d be interesting if men took on their wife’s first name, so it would immediately indicate to others if a man was married or not. And then there’d be pushback, in the same way there is to the ‘Mrs’ and ‘Miss’ titles, and parents would start naming their sons with female names to start with. (it works less well the other way around, because there’s already girls called ‘Dylan’ and ‘Taylor’, etc).

I bought the Last of Us 2 upgrade, so I can’t really criticise anyone buying this, but I’ve played this game to it’s absolute death - had every conversation, completed every mission, even played through on the hardest difficulty to get all the trophies - so I can’t imagine ever playing it again. It’s Guerrilla Games’ own fault - if they hadn’t made it so good, they could have had an extra tenner from me.

Here’s me, assuming I’ll die choking on a steak (like Liz Lemon imagines for herself), and now a new fear is unlocked, where I don’t even get a meal first.

(Sad news about the guy of course)

I use beets for exactly this.

Crikey - it was only added a few hours ago and it’s already all kicking off on their GitHub’s Issues page.

I don’t think that would be possible. The API is only sending “post_id” and “score” for votes, so the backend has no info on what feed a user used to send it. An instance could modify their official frontend to hide the ability to downvote from Local and All but they couldn’t do anything about people using different frontends (e.g. all the various phone apps)

I think lemmynsfw stopped people who weren’t subscribed to a community from voting in it (because their communities for gay people were getting a lot of downvotes from All). If that’s what you mean. I think it was a hack rather than a setting though (my info might be out of date)
