Broken input sanitization probably.

Issue will thankfully no longer exist in the next lemmy release.

From a technical point of view, I’d rather Lemmy didn’t federate except with itself, and maybe possibly also with similar networks, but only as long as that doesn’t hold Lemmy back from doing its own thing.

Getting ActivityPub federation to work reliably between Lemmy instances alone is already proving challenging for developers.

From a personal point of view, I have zero interest in what I consider a shit paradigm of social communication. The “micro” lie in micro-blogging, as you quickly conceded, is long gone. The interface is horrible for effective exchange of well-thought ideas. The social networks formed are hypernormalized echo chambers of unhinged ranting faux intellectuals and champagne activists, usually led by a cult of personality or two who are tasked with making sure the one-upping posturing game continues forever.

When you are about to "micro"blog, presumably you will be writing something coherent enough that it relates to a certain subject of interest to a section of the public. It is also presumably meant to be viewable by the public since you’re not sharing it in a private group chat.

If that’s the case, there should be a community in Lemmy where those interested in that subject congregate. That community would either be low-traffic, then you can make your "micro"blog a post there breathing more live into it. Or it would be a high-traffic one, in that case a lounge/chat/MegaThread post should exist where you can chat with people interested in that subject, in an interface that actually facilitates good discussion.

Imagine if media in Lemmy was all hosted in a distributed network filesystem like Iroh, where instances only function as inserters and exit nodes for that media.

This way, smaller instances can have a smaller cache corresponding to the media that was actually needed by it (recently). And independent peers can help by participating in the distributed file-system network without running instances themselves.

Would you have escaped them a priori?

Do you consider markdown-it’s typographic replacements common knowledge, and thus intuitively escapable?

Should lemmy apps be pushed to use markdown-it, in your opinion?

their live demo

I meant the markdown-it live demo.

I wrote a separate post about this.

While it may seem nice

No, it really doesn’t, its a horribly bad design choice.

I wanted to give some balance to my argument. I guess I was over-cautious with that one.

And btw, that’s '../lemmy' in the comment above with two dots. I didn’t write it wrong. The third dot comes from markdown-it (confirmed using their live demo)!!

Good, because I speak Rust, so, if there is an itch to scratch, I will scratch it, even though I’m not a UI guy.

I tried running the UI yesterday standalone and had ‘error loading’ message or something like that.

btw, mentioning needing ‘…/lemmy’ available in path, and needing the wasm target installed (via rustup target install wasm32-unknown-unknown) may help non-rustaceans in particular, if added to the contributing instructions.

Also, the UI was listening on *:1237, not just localhost, so maybe a WARNING regarding that is advisable, together with explaining the purpose behind leptos also listening to port 3001.

Well there be a way to run the UI in client mode only, without being attached to a running instance?
