Both chili and vegetable soup.

Never cared for either growing up, but now they’re both comfort food, especially on cold days.

Matrix also is close to checking all the boxes, but it wasnt clear how it works on mobile (Element seemed like the mobile app that was recommended).

I run Matrix, and it’s pretty great. Though I would recommend Schildichat over Element for the mobile app. I had all kinds of issues with Element Mobile somehow screwing up the E2EE keys for my other sessions. Nothing seemed to fix it except removing my account from it completely. Switched to Schildichat and haven’t had that issue since.

I read the PR. It seems more like a hacky bandaid rather than addressing the actual issue. But I digress.

It’s also possible I misunderstood where/how the limit was being applied. My understanding was that it was limiting the response to 50 per depth (50 seems to be the arbitrary limit for most of the API’s list endpoints). What I really don’t want to do is have to paginate the request for the top level comments.

e.g. if a post has 100 comments, and say, 60 of them are top-level, I much prefer to be able to get all 60 in one go. Depending on the total number of comments provided in the getPost call, I dynamically set max_depth higher (3-5) or lower (as low as 1) and fill in the deeper comments manually with a “show more” button. The exception is if linking directly to a comment where it uses the path to calculate the exact depth to fetch.

finding one with a chain of over 50 in a row is even more rare. Such a thread would be clunky to display in the main comment tree anyways

I’m working around that without pagination, but it’s a low priority fix since Patrick’s Law come into play. It’s like Godwin’s Law except it says that once a comment thread gets deeper than 9, it’s a slapfight that’s best avoided.

I’ve got a laundry list of reasons, but suffice it to say that pretty much every third party client I’ve ever used has been miles ahead in UX and polish.

One example is that if the API throws any error response and lands you on an “Error” page (post removed, user deleted, etc), the whole UI is stuck there until you refresh the whole page (e.g clicking “back” updates the URL to your previous page, but you’re still seeing the error).

Yeah, I’m just very spatially-challenged, and I think that’s where my academic understanding and actual understanding breaks down.

I was in advanced math classes from like 4th grade all the way up to AP Calc 2 my junior year. Aced all of them except trig. I just could not wrap my head around it.

My friend thanks you.

I showed that to my friend, and I still don’t think they got it.

I, a smart person, totally get the joke. But could you explain it to my friend?

Reduce maximum comment depth to 50 by @nutomic #5009

Goddamnit. I fucking hate paginating comments and would rather just fetch all the top level ones and control the depth based on the number of total comments. I also hate that they see the API through the lens of Lemmy-UI (IMO the worst way to interact with Lemmy).

Haven’t messed with it personally (yet), but I’ve seen some examples where Caddy can do some cool stuff (I think the example I saw recently was defining routes that can call an arbitrary program with the HTTP request details).

I use Nginx almost exclusively (I’ve got HAProxy in the mix, too, but it’s strictly for load balancing). Everyone always keeps recommending Traefik to me, but from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t do anything Nginx can’t already do, and the config is all bizarre and way less intuitive. Not saying it’s bad, just not for me. (This is not an invitation to proselytize Traefix at me lol).

Use whatever works for you.

Going to check that out because…yeah. Just gotta figure out what and where to archive.

Yeah, definitely.

I hope @willya@lemmyf.uk sticks around on another instance.

The music from Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues is pretty banger:

(tips hat) And a Happy Election Day Drinking to you, too.

Not listening to it at the moment, but I listened-through my Alastair Reynolds audiobook collection recently.

Aside from the quality of the stories (love me some good hard sci-fi), all of the audiobooks were narrated by the same guy. Several of the books are part of a series, and the narrator did a pretty good job, though not perfect, of using the same voices between books for all of the recurring characters.

Yeah, I noted that one as the oddball. Based on replies here, it’s definitely a regional difference. In my area, it’s all but extinct under the age of 60.

Nice. I figure all the web-based ones should unless they’ve got a static list of image types that doesn’t include svg. The installed apps could be hit or miss depending on how they’re implemented.

Allow me to upvote posts and comments within search.

Tesseract and Photon both allow that :)

Maybe others, too, but I’m most familiar with those two since I’ve been involved in their development (and they’re my daily drivers).

Maybe try a different web app? Most 3rd party Lemmy webapps are miles ahead of Lemmy-UI when it comes to user experience.
