You’re probably better off finding a bot someone else has already made. Here’s a few.
Adding the community name is a big help, and like I said, the post title can be there but not canonical. https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/152773/Lemmy_URLs_should_be_human-meaningful would work just as well as https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/152773.
Also I don’t see the reason why /post/ helps with readability more than /p/.
Just nicer tbh.
https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/XYZ123 as the canonical url would be best IMO. Then the title following can be optional. But post instead of p seems like a good idea, not too much longer, but helps readability. c instead of community is fine because 1) community is kinda long and 2) the single letter prefix for communities is pretty well established by reddit and among all of its clones.
Edit: comments would then be https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/XYZ123/comment/ABC456. Really just take the current address and add the community name. Plus the title as an optional path segment for readability.
Originally a fork of lemmy, it currently uses both a rewritten front and back end AFAIK (I haven’t actually worked on hexbear’s current codebase). We’re looking to go back to being a proper fork, which is why we’re starting to contribute hexbear features to lemmy.
We don’t federate with lemmy right now because we forked before lemmy had federation, and adding federation to the rewrite would have been too much work. But once we get hexbear stuff into lemmy we’ll switch over and should be able to federate.
target="_blank"=P
lol that was actually a bit of an issue when I opened the PR. Apparently it has some accessibility issues so Dessalines is avoiding it. I’ll need to look more into how to use it while maintaining accessibility and work with Dessalines on that.
Clicking on a post and going “back” doesn’t involve any loading
Huh, I’m not sure I even realized that.
Video embeds
Definitely on the list, I’ve done a bit of research into that but it’ll need some back end changes and idk Rust (yet). I’ll need to see when other hexbear devs get up to speed on contributing to lemmy.
Expanders on the left
Do you mean clicking the thumbnail expanding the embed or post body? I already brought that over for image posts. I can get that going to for self posts as well.
Site-flair
Right now hexbear only has pronoun flairs. We’ve actually been wanting to add user defined flairs too. I’ve put a bit of thought into a generic, instance and community customizable flair system, so that’s definitely on the list.
dark mode by default!
There’s actually already an option for instance admins to pick the default theme.
Hi, I’m a dev from hexbear and it looks like my first UI changes (relating to post listings) were included in this release.
Here are the changes I made:
- Expanded image and body now show below the rest of the listing.
- And also offset to not be under the votes and thumbnail.
- Post title doesn’t jump to a new line when you expand the image.
- Thumbnail doesn’t disappear when you expand the image.
- Does not apply on mobile since things don’t jump around as much.
- Clicking expanded image opens the original in a new tab.
- Does not apply on mobile since you can just long press.
- Instead tapping the image closes it.
- pictrs images now prefer the original format over jpg.
- Rendering split into many functions to improve readability.
- Post actions are now on the same line as the comments button.
- Post actions now show on mobile.
- Comments button made larger.
- Expanding or contracting an image now expands or contracts the body.
I’d love to hear any feedback or ideas anyone here may have.
You see the .ml in the domain name? It doesn’t stand for Mali. This is a leftist site, Nazis fuck off.
