PieFed 1.6.x doesn’t support video embeds using the ![]() format, just images. However, I recently added this functionality so that it will be in 1.7 when it comes out. There are going to be lots of improvements to the markdown parsing coming in 1.7.
Edit: My instance is running the latest 1.7.x code (not stable yet), but below I have added an embedded webm video. You will probably need to click to see my comment on my instance in the three dots menu.
@snoopy@piefed.social tries to keep this wiki page updated. I sometimes see app devs reach out to snoopy when they support new features as well, so it is reasonably current.
I suspect this is due to a bug in auto-content removal. The ibbit.at communities only have posts created by bots that are mirroring an rss feed into a community. piefed.social is configured to automatically prune bot-created posts that don’t have engagement (comments iirc) after a set amount of time. So, I am willing to bet that somewhere in that removal process, the removal is being counted as more than -1 post, driving the total for the community below zero.
Just wanted to follow up on this. I just pushed a fix for this issue, but it won’t ship until PieFed 1.7. Thanks for your help identifying it!
What are you trying to do with hashtags? If it is something like view all the posts with a particular hashtag, then that is not currently supported by the PieFed API. If it is something like make a post that has a particular hashtag, then that is something that is possible to do via the API, but I am not familiar enough with the clients to say which ones support that or not.
For the former case, your best bet right now is to find the tag you want to monitor and then look at its feed. I am not really sure why tags weren’t included in the post/list endpoint, but I don’t think it will be particularly difficult to add them. I will try to take a look when I get a chance.
Just an update on this. I think I have found the issue and can work on it. The next version of PieFed is going to have quite a number of improvements to the markdown_to_html function (including embedded videos finally).
I’ll take a look at the markdown_to_html function tonight. I’m not sure if this is coming from some of our custom markdown parsing or if this might be coming from markdown2, the python library that does the bulk of the work.
You were really close, you need to hide the outer container that the .message_reaction is in. Here you go:
.message_reactions {
display: none;
}
Yeah, I think this fell victim to some url cleaning that PieFed does. Playlists must not get posted too often for this to just be found now as this section of the code has stayed relatively unchanged for a while. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
@rimu@piefed.social - it looks like the playlist url structure is not playing nice with the fixup_url function ref.
Just an update on this front, server load is stable right now as I type this after rimu did some stuff on the server to help. It’s pretty clear this was a DDOS and not a rogue AI scraper because it was hitting the same url many times a second instead of crawling tons of urls like a scraper bot would.
We’ll keep an eye on things. Thanks for your patience.
I think that is a separate use case. This request is if you are actively browsing an instance you don’t have an account in, but want to join a community, to have it redirect back to an instance you do have an account on.
Edit: I guess it is kind of both issues.
If this is cloudflare, then it is likely that cloudflare is thinking that the browser is a bot of some kind. @rimu@piefed.social is going to have to take a look at tweaking the CF configuration.
Hard to say. The fact that this is a cloudflare issue and not some kind of exception from within the code makes it more possible. If it was just a code exception on PieFed’s end, then it would have been unlikely because authentication via the API and the web UI are completely separate code paths and work differently.
It seems like your issues with feddit.online happen downstream of cloudflare though. The issue with feddit.online has me genuinely stumped and I wonder if it isn’t app-specific in some way (user-agent maybe?).
This is already the case. Each instance sets their own trusted instances. There are no instances trusted by default. In /admin/instances if you click edit in an instance’s row, then you can check the box that it is a trusted instance. Also, these are one-sided relationships. Instance A can mark Instance B as trusted, but the converse is not required.
Something like that could be a good place to utilize “trusted instances.” So, instead of just choosing a random instance of all of the piefediverse, it chooses a random trusted instance.
The feedback in this thread overall has been helpful.
Some instances have used it to do something like a dynamic message of the day. That is the most I have seen it used for so far.
Edit: See the top of the main content pane of anarchist.nexus as an example.
Previous threads about these filters were people complaining about them being hardcoded, completely ignoring that they are completely optional and off by default. It would go something like this:
Look at this awful thing PieFed does!
def do_the_thing():
# relatively simple code that does the thing
It completely ignored the context that the do_the_thing function is only called if the admin wants to do the thing.
They’re just making shit up. In their mind I guess Javascript that is intentionally included by an admin to customize their instance counts as ACE. In that sense any webserver you ever browse to is capable of ACE.
arbitrary
You mean the Javascript that would need to be written and added by the instance admin? Something that any admin with infra access could do anyway? Hardly seems arbitrary at all. ACE usually means something not intended.
Heavenly Delusion. It was a great show that sadly has had no season 2 announcement. I started the manga after it aired though, and that has been great as well.
