For anyone else wondering, btw, it’s because lemmy expects all ‘id’ fields to be unique, so it would error if the inner object actually was a copy of the original vote.

I would argue that I’m not asking it to be a queryable thing or a datastore. I wouldn’t expect a community’s ‘Accept’ of a ‘Follow’ to contain loads of data about past activity because that’s not a logical or practical thing to encapsulate. For an Undo though, there’s already a small, fixed-length encapsulated object inside, consistent with how ActivityPub is used for other circumstances. Since it’s there anyway, I don’t see the value in it containing incorrect, made-up data, when it may as well have the correct data.

Well, for my own nefarious purposes, I would’ve preferred to have all the info in one place. I’m not using Lemmy or Mastodon, just messing around with ActivityPub, so it’s be easier not to have to rely on past data about who voted for what that I haven’t necessarily kept.

I was thinking of pinging the bot’s author about how dopey this bot can be, but’s he’s banned on lemmy.ml, so maybe not.

I can’t remember. It wouldn’t have been for emulation, because I’m never been that bothered about that. I remember it seemed terribly important that I get one, because I paid extra to skip the queue of pre-orders. I ported software directly on the device itself, but - yeah - I think it was mainly for audio/video stuff (using it like a fragile and cumbersome iPod touch)

I use to play around with a little device called Open Pandora (from when System-On-A-Chip really became a thing; it looked like a bulky Nintendo DS and was mostly used to emulate old games (including Nintendo DS ones, interestingly).

I made an alternative desktop environment for it (so you switch from using XFCE to Openbox).

Anyway, this wallpaper reminds me of that time:

Mastodon.art has 29k users, so it’s not nothing, I suppose

'Cos it marks the spot where he buried all his treasure, amirite?

I’m using it right now on new.endlesstalk.org

It’s beautiful yes, but it’s also kinda dumb. Lots of page elements (like the community banner and notifications section) need manually refreshing to show anything, and I need to press ‘Go’ after changing view (like Subscribed/All or Hot/New) like the web of ancient times. This may just be how it’s implemented at endlesstalk, but there’s other irritations like not having the option to upload a picture when creating posts, and it not actually doing anything if I change my settings to toggle ‘Show NSFW’

What, again?

Will do. Hope they use it, having all that junk in the JSON file is no use to anyone.

Lemmyverse is great - I use it to generate the lists at Trending Communities.

Re: the “thousands of spam/bot communities at lemmy.world?” question in your source, yeah there’s about 6k. A user tried to create about 2000, all called “serverhold” if you want a way to exclude them, got banned, and in retaliation created about 4000 with that junk string.
The admin of lemmyworld said it’ll take time to remove them, but I don’t know why (there seems to be the functionality in the API)
