Press any key to continue… No, not that one!
You can use openrss.org RSS feeds. They are there for this exact purpose. For example, you can get an RSS feed of /c/retrogaming.ml by going to https://openrss.org/programming.dev/c/retrogaming@lemmy.ml. Then all links in the feed will always go to the post on programming.dev instance.
Yeah, depending on the branch I’ve found that method not to be too reliable. openrss offers branches for RSS feeds for commits on every branch though: e.g. https://openrss.org/github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commits/main
Love it, bro. Sign me up! 😎
You can try an RSS feed. Here’s a link to the RSS feed to this post:
Have you tried returning 404 response status codes for the requested URLs? I think federated requests will need for your server to tell them the URLs don’t exist anymore.
Ooh that reminds me. Been cranky all morning…
This is 👍. For those wondering, RFCs have been around for years in software engineering–since the beginning of the internet, practically.
As a software engineer myself, I can confidently say they’re a great way to build complex software in a more democratic way.
They require a certain level of agreement and consensus, which makes them take a while to ratify. But you almost always end up with better software in the end.
Take that, Stack Overflow! Programming.dev on deck!!! Let’s gooooooo
Yeah I think this was hastily done to prevent the XSS injection attacks that were happening IIRC. They implemented encoding for content, but looks like they never got around to fully decoding it.
Issue could’ve been avoided by just restricting the encoding to when the user types content in (and before database insertion), and decoding when showing the content in the UI.
I wasn’t alerted that the post had been removed
Are we supposed to get notifications for post removals? I’d be in favor for that.
That’s an issue for a great feature request. I was thinking more of a globally public display of all upvotes and downvotes a user has. But I think you’ve addressed why that’s not an option deeper in the comments of that issue. Thanks!
They probably wont implement due to potential harrassment from abuse. But you can follow users using Open RSS feeds in meantime. Here’s your feed for example:
Any plans for aggregated total of upvote/downvote karma for each user?
Would definitely love to see more web-platform friendly frontend tech used, like Svelte. It would also make contributing to the frontend much easier imo.
We’re talking about instances having feed content for other instances (on totally different domains), so anything helping with this case would be a “third party service”.
