oh nice, thank you. i could have sworn i checked reddact, shreddit and pds, but i guess not

i think i’ll be doing this tonight

i don’t suppose you’d send it to me when you’re done?

i’ve been looking for a script that adds to comments rather than overwriting them, so i can put “this user has moved to lemmy” without losing any information

ah nice i didn’t know about the double bang, thank you

is there a list of bangs available? because i just tried a few and none worked

instances aren’t like subreddits in this example though. if i don’t care about drama, i can subscribe to both r/tumblr and r/curatedtumblr and have them both appear in my feed. i can’t do that with instances without creating two accounts, and browsing both separately

i’m glad that’s being tracked, as a bookmarklet is not really a great solution; but it’s still not a complete solution. if i visit a lemmy post from outside lemmy.world (e.g. search engine), then there’s no way to go to the l.w version (to my knowledge)

i’ll be honest, i’m not sure what that’s for? is it moving to another account if you want to change your home instance? if so, that’s a good idea, i could add it to the post if you want in case this comment gets buried

that (unless i’m misunderstanding) isn’t the point of it. it’s made for quickly taking you from e.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected], so it needs a const to know which instance to take you to

edit: i guess i could replace let currInst=currUrl[2]; with let currInst=window.location.hostname; but i can’t see a practical difference and so i chose the shorter one

exactly. reddit wants to be a doomscrolling site, not an archive of information. if they said “we’re deleting all comments older than 6 months”, there’d be an uproar, but for some reason everyone seems hell bent on doing that

honestly with youtube, reddit, and maybe twitter all losing information like this, we’re going full library of alexandria (slight hyperbole)

to be honest, it’s the simplification that i dislike. it’s so fucking corporate and soulless, it looks like somebody outsourced it to the cheapest bidder

i also think it is starting to look dated, as even corporations are moving back to designs with depth (look at the new edge logo and fluent design in general, or gnome circle apps)

i hate it… : (

the old one looked really good; it had character and skeuomorphism and stood out in the instance list

the new one looks… fine, i guess. it’s there. i can’t really say anything about it, apart from it’s a bit dark and too busy, but it has nothing going for it

wayback machine only archives new Reddit though, which means a comment depth of about 2

it’s not fedded with burggit.moe for some reason

it’d be nice to have it as a lemmy feature though. for example, i got most of my reddit posts from reddit.com/user/zeus/m/reddit2rss/.rss, so i could view them in my feed reader. for lemmy i’d either have to have 100 different feeds, or find some other way

weird - sorry i couldn’t help… : (

weird. sorry i couldn’t help further… : (

i can tell you that i made and currently use it with firefox…

sanity check, when you select edit bookmark it should look like this

however, i don’t know about ghostery (i didn’t even know they made a browser). it’s possible they block arbitrary js for security reasons? it would be a dumb choice in my opinion, but i guess it’s protecting you from yourself?

however i can tell you a couple of things. this doesn’t work with some communities (they just 404), but that happens if one puts the url in manually. i don’t know when or why this happens, but it does seem to happen a lot with lemmy.one. i wonder if it’s a l.1 federation issue

have you tried changing the “type” option in lemmy.world/settings/ (or [yourinstance]/settings)?

i disagree. people naturally share things they find cool, we’re a gregarious species after all. karma just encourages people to churn out low effort content, and cynical reposting (which i know heelpr says is important, but it’s been the reason i’ve left many subreddits)

i do agree, however, that it’s a way to spot trolls; but i don’t think it’s the best way and it’s very easy to rack up spare karma by, wait for it, karma farming. conversely, i think good moderation is a better method than just looking at a user’s total karma

idea: let each instance have a prepopulated blocklist

let the admins of each instance have a list of blocked users that gets inherited to members of that instance, but let users remove from that list as well as add to avoid abuse. and don’t hide the comments from these users, just collapse them to let people know a comment has been hidden in case of mistakes

(possibly even allow regex to avoid RandomWord1234, which was common on reddit)

this is a rather extreme tactic though, only for if spam becomes overwhelming
