Your experience mirrors mine, where you must refer to the Rust and/or JS code to have a chance in hell.

Yep… and if you and I got discouraged, how many other developers did as well? This is why good docs are essential for a healthy ecosystem.

No, I was just chewing on various ideas to integrate with Lemmy and was disappointed with the docs I saw. They seemed OK-ish if you wanted to use the JS client, but not great if you want to do something else.

On similar projects, I’m used to seeing OpenAPI/Swagger/etc. where you have docs on the incoming bodies/fields, what values they can contain, etc.

Right now it’s really bare bones. I see things like ‘auth’ OPTIONAL but not really sure what would go in there.

I can RTFS like another poster said, but of course that’s not as convenient as “general purpose” API docs with examples / tutorial.

I was curious to see if the reply was going to be:

• We are happy with the state of docs (WONTFIX)

OR

• The current situation is temporary and we will provide better docs at some point in the future

Sorry, we had to deny your application because you’re Asian. Try another school.

Reddit comment threads are currently just full of groupmind wankery. I like being on a platform where I don’t 100% agree with everyone and I don’t have to hold “sanctioned” opinions that are approved by a mod team of 3.

Well hell man, give us the details.

brings jobs back to America

NOOO not THOSE jobs

This is the best analysis I’ve seen so far. The majority of posts I have seen say “reddit is an inch from death”, which isn’t even remotely close to accurate. A site can be a 3rd tier, boring, corporate-owned collection of content that has non-exciting revenue, but that’s not dead.

Reddit still has hundreds of millions of active users per month. They may have lost some people, but this many eyeballs has a huge potential for profit.

I would say it goes further than different, I’d say better, as no one is “covering up” anything over here.

Various subreddit moderators getting kicked out, the general mood on reddit, etc. It’s also nice to know it’s not censored on lemmy…

Taking bets:

• Participating in a competitive event where bathroom breaks are minimal or non-existent, such as a long-distance, multi-day gaming or eSports tournament.
• Attending a religious or spiritual retreat where fasting or avoiding certain bodily functions is part of the practices or rituals.
• Engaging in a survival challenge or a bet where the person has to limit food intake and avoid defecating for a certain period of time.
• Undergoing a specific medical procedure or test that requires limiting food intake and avoiding bowel movements for a few days.
• Participating in a scientific experiment or study where they have to control their diet and bowel movements.
• Partaking in a performance art piece or protest where he’s limiting his bodily functions as part of the statement.
• Attending an event (like a music festival or convention) where bathroom facilities are notoriously unclean or inconvenient, and they want to avoid using them as much as possible.
• Embarking on a long journey where bathroom facilities may not be readily available or convenient, such as a cross-country road trip or sailing expedition.
• Participating in a reality TV show or film production where bathroom breaks are limited or inconvenient.
• Engaging in a personal challenge or self-imposed discipline practice related to endurance or minimalism.

Because MONEY and lack of choice in some markets… easy.

I’m curious why this is classified as “losing battle”… seems pretty successful so far to me.

For better or for worse, news outlets care about engagement. “50th boat full of migrants lost this year” won’t get many clicks. “Billionaires in trouble under the sea” will. If you think these type of stories are under-reported, feel free to start your own blog or discussion forum.

Sure, but it’s easy for a human to come up with semi-original prompts and then the content is good enough for some random magazine…

I had wanted to host an instance of myself… grabbed the docker setup, flailed around for a bit and threw up my hands in frustration.

The amount of config needed for the fronting proxy makes it annoying to bring your own proxy.

Smaller domains are blocked all the time, ask your local email admin… just because you’re not getting messages about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen
