@nix Ok, that's done. e.g. https://piefed.social/c/technology@lemmy.world?sort=active

At https://piefed.social/user/settings people can set their default sort to 'Active' if they wish.

@carnage4life YOU ARE USING THE NEW PLATFORM RIGHT NOW.

lol

@nix Yes, for sure.

I wouldn't want it to be The Default sorting method (this would negate the point of voting, which is 90% of activitypub traffic) but it could be something that people opt in to.

I've added it to the list

@o I don't mind admitting that I find Rust to be completely incomprehensible.

@darren @kariboka No app, but the PWA works fine.

@JoeGermuska @box464 @Andres Yes, possibly... But any data you make available over ActivityPub is technically public so it's not great to put sensitive information in there.

@darren @kariboka I originally did fork kbin and created https://kglitch.social as a result. However that proved to be a dead end.

So I made this instead: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi

@nix Maybe one day but it's not a high priority.

@Jackiemauro I'm still experimenting with it.

Currently, the only effect is has is to add a small warning icon like this https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@rimu/111648660649299579 when reputation becomes < 0. At < -10 there are two warning icons. What people do with that information remains to be seen.

Reputation is the sum of all the up-votes they get, minus all the down-votes. That is the main factor. I doubt gif reactions will be a big influence.

Upvotes in meme communities do not increase reputation.

This was *so* satisfying to write, wow

@basil It exists. Check out https://piefed.social/

@linos Oh!

Yeah, Reject/Follow makes sense.

@linos Lemmy, Kbin and PieFed does Undo(Follow), same as Mastodon.

You don't need to store all ids of previous 'Accept' activities if the software just ignores the ids and looks at the data in the Accept to see who is involved.

After extensive refactoring, that chunk of code is now only 5.5 pages long instead of 11 😅

Still about 4 pages too long compared to what an ideal function would be but this is the main ActivityPub handling code we're dealing with here, so it's always going to be a little crazy.

@edoxtator Yeah, one long continuous piece of paper would be very nice. I still get nostalgic about the sound of a dot matrix printer.

@w7voa Wow, people are still employing him? As a lawyer?

That feeling when the code reaches a point of huge messiness that the only way to deal with it is print out the worst bit and scribble on it.

Low tech but very effective and satisfying.

@renwillis haha yeah.

I'm really enjoying this game at the moment that is basically trudging through the snow trying not to freeze or starve while wolves circle and crows fly overhead. The only goal is survival as long as possible, there is no save + retry and it always ends in death. It's called The Long Dark 🌑

@helge Yes, this is one of my pain points. It not only depends on the type of Actor but also on the type (software) of the instance that created it!

Ugh.

@oddevan Yes.

Here is a normal mastodon instance with a log added to it
