Read the issue above for why. Vote manipulation is a real problem, but making all votes public is not the solution anyone wants. Limiting vote viewing to admins and mods is decided on as the best of both worlds.

Also that tool can only be used by specifically malicious instances whose goal it is to snoop and expose all votes. Those instances can and should be blocked.

We’ve opened up issues on other services many months ago about retaining user vote privacy, because lemmy users overwhelmingly don’t want their votes snooped on.

I want to remind everyone that since users overwhelmingly don’t want their votes snooped on (for good reason), we will never add anything like this inside lemmy, lemmy-ui, or jerboa.

While there’s nothing we can do to snoopers making tools like this, it requires a lemmy server admin login.

If you know of servers which are giving admin access to this tool, let us know, so we can add it to our blocklist.

Graphtreon says their API is $760 / month.

Patreon isn’t going to do anything for us specifically. They have a proper auth API, its just a lot of work to get plugged into it, when we only need a few data points.

Go to your profile page to see what communities you moderate. It also shows in jerboa.

Massive differences and breaking changes between the two versions. We’ve been having to backport fixes for months now.

Good to hear.

Thx!

Right now it will randomly pop up once a year, different for every user.

so far no change on the reported donations when comparing to previous reporting which is actually down.

We had this automated, but patreon blocked our IP, so I’ll update it manually rn, and try to do that at least once a month.

The donation popup has an API to mark that its been seen for your user, as well as a last_donation_notification date that comes back as part of MyUser. This is tied to your user so it can sync across all apps.

No probs!

v1.0 is mainly about finalizing the API, which is mostly done now. We still have a few issues to finish for the 1.0.0 release, but this is likely still months away due to the need for apps to handle the breaking changes, and get caught up on features.

Even though this is our first stable release, people should remember also that lemmy isn’t an enterprise product; its free software developed by a small number of volunteers.

Once its mature, I personally wouldn’t be opposed to moving issue tracking off github and into a federated one like forgejo.

Sure, and be sure to link that closed github issue.

This is helpful. Could you make a github issue and copy-paste this there? Thx.

I think slur filters, tracking param removals, and local link rewriting are acceptable, because (with the exception of the slur filter) they’re non-moderation actions, and also applied uniformly regardless of who made them.

It also ignores that savvy-enough admins can edit user content with SQL queries.

That’s unavoidable of course, anyone with DB access ultimately can edit things. But if people catch on, I doubt your server would gain many users or last that long. Most importantly, we shouldn’t allow that to happen via the API.

You’re free to start a “Should mods be able to edit user’s data?” discussion, but I doubt it would get much support, especially from reddit allowing this and it souring everyone to it.

Thx! Hard to pick a fav, but meercats are pretty cool.

Thx! Really appreciate it, and I’m glad someone thinks its worthwhile work we’re doing.

You can just use magnet links. I wrote a guide for how to use them here

Like here’s a Joan Crawford movie I like: Sudden Fear 1952 . A super-beginner way, is to install stremio and click that link. Boom, you’re now watching the movie.
