    Oh, yeah sure. It depends on the social medium I guess. Long form YouTube content should definetly work, not sure if something like twitter actually allows content to be in depth enough to get a understanding of anything. I thought you meant with your original comment people that like the communist goal (communism) and generally support the actions/programms of communist movements, but haven't actually informed themselves on materialism and the underlying contradictions of captalism.

    I just block the lemmit.online and zerobytes.monster instances and the lululemmy.com/c/redditmirror and 50501.chat/c/Mirror communities. There are probably more but those appeared in my feed so I blocked them. It isn't enough to block the specific bot accounts as the communities will still appear in the community list. Since the instances are as far as I can see just reddit archives I just blocked the whole instance.

    The lemmit bot includes

    This is an automated archive made by the Lemmit Bot.
    The original was posted on
    

    in every post and the zerobytes one

    The original post:
    

    in every post. There seems to be no consistent message with these bots, so I'm not surre text filtering would be more effective than instance/community/user based blocking

    I mainly block communities (not keywords) that are just automated Reddit archives. Depending on the bot used this could be done via the text in the post (if it mentions being a automated post), however I think community blocking works better for this so not a feature useful for me at the moment. I do however have a question regarding the way this would, would it be like an adblocker where it’s just a text file? If so, do you have to host it on GitHub or eg codeberg work as well?

    Thats a great list! If you're willing to stick around, I would for you to do quality assurance. You have really good attention to detail.

    Sure

    I would actually prefer this as the peertube embed UI is a little janky. I'll have to see how easy that is to do.

    Yeah, it works fine on desktop but it's just not optimized for mobile

    Yes! I want to solve a bunch of issues with create/edit post in the next release. You should also be able to add alt text for images in comments.

    Good to know, I am existed to see how that turns out

    You’re not the first person to ask for this. The only thing stopping me is I don’t want to overwhelm the user with options, but I think this has to be added. Alternatively I was thinking about prompting the person that opens the link how they want to view the post. I’m not sure if the person sharing or opening the link should decide.

    I think making the person that opens the link decide might be confusing for non Lemmy/Piefed users

    I'm not 100% I understand this. Generally more detail, or even photos, is better. Can you explain it like I’m 3 lol?

    I tried to reproduce the bug but it seems to work now, probably something cached weird? Basically what happened is Blorp refreshed the list of moderated communities and then added the new ones, but after a few seconds it reverted back to the old list. This kept happening (the new communities being displayed and then disappearing again) every few seconds. It's working now so I presume it was the cache, but it the time it persisted between app launches and devices. Maybe an option to clear the cache manually would be useful

    I'm aware of this issue. I think it reverts to the Blorp logo if your instance's logo isn't square, but I'm not 100% sure.

    Edit: square wasn’t the issue. I think I found a fix.

    You said you found a fix so you may not need this anymore, but the icon changed without changing instance. Also sometimes it is the Blorp icon with a white background

    It's supposed to filter out articles, but maybe the filtering is broken.

    I just checked, it's only on piefed

    I agree. The issue is thers already like 6 different things you can click on within post, and adding more click zones is going to get confussinngggggg.

    I understand, not sure how this could work. Maybe just an option in the three dot menu?

    Not a bad idea. Though I might prompt the user to make sure they want to unsave.

    I can see myself accidentally pressing it

    Yeah.... I'm not sure the best way to fix this. Maybe I'll check what the other clients do.

    When on a users page the username in the sidebar is cut of if it is to long, without any indication (... or so), maybe look at that as well

    We pull the html title from the url. If the url doesn't set the title to the title of the article, that's kinda on them unfortunately. Though I am in the process of improving this, so this might get better soon.

    I checked, appears to be piefed bug. I presumed it just wasn't implemented when I tried posting an article

    I think I know what this is. PieFed API has a known issue where you can't update a post that has an empty URL. I'm working with them to fix that.

    Awesome. Thanks for the response, I'm happy to help test when my time allows
