Yeah, I understand what you mean (after a year of exploring the Web Socket).
That lemmy auth value is pulled from a JWT cookie in the browser - which you can access in JS by document.cookie. It allows user-specific API calls (retrieving saved posts, subscribed communities, etc).
Yes exactly - living on the edge!
One way to learn the new API is - explore the code of (similar) extensions and browser scripts, to see how they build and send their calls.
Is there a specific API call you’d like to make?
Maybe someone can reveal that method and endpoint.
Just pick one of the suggestions and start doing it.
There are a lot of great ideas in your other post.
Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!
“OP made it opt-in”
1 - It’s not opt-in “By User” though. It’s opt-in “By Community”…
So if one person turns it on, 1000’s of other people see it.
OP keeps saying “you can just toggle it off”… but I really can’t… when anyone can toggle it back on.
2 - Future options for toggling are not much better (bottom of the repo, To-Do section):
“if a moderator adds the haiku-bot, non-mod users cannot remove it”
“only allow moderators to subscribe/unsubscribe”
…so the toggle option wouldn’t apply to 99% of people anyway.
“a few users were waiting for this (-OP)”
Who was waiting for it? The top level replies in this thread are:
I think your bot rules are pretty solid though.
Overall, I just feel like… Lemmy is a fresh space…
a chance to make a new culture…
maybe it’s best to leave that old bloated carcass behind.
1 - Yes - some bots are helpful, some (most) are annoying:
a Haiku bot falls into your “triggered by accident” category (any post that is 17 syllables).
a Haiku bot also does not add any new contextual information (it just duplicates a comment).
That’s why I’m saying the haiku bot is junk.
2 - In this very post, when Otome said “I never liked the Haiku Bot”… OP responded “I’ve never liked them much either”…
so I’m asking OP: “why create a bot to spam lemmy with low-value duplicate content, if you don’t even like that bot yourself?”
I’m asking you - what value do YOU think this Haiku bot adds?
You did not answer the question… I asked you:
How is a haiku bot not invasive spam?
It’s basically the same as the “all numbers in your post add up to 69” bot.
Okay - What value does a haiku bot add?
It only tells you that a post was 17 syllables…
If you agree that most bots are spam, then why are you making and promoting bots?
Here’s a human haiku:
bots are part of what
made reddit such a wasteland.
most bots are just spam.
i wish lemmy would
remain a place for humans.
why can’t we just talk?
The JS-client docs are automatically created by TypeDoc (which takes TypeScript code and generates HTML documentation).
Good question Charlie Fish :)
Yeah lemmy is a chill place.
It is wild to watch the rapid expansion.
$916 billion = US military budget, in 2023.
Just think of all the good that could be done with that money…
Poverty-reduction, environment-restoration, water-health, high-speed trains, global-aid…
When will we be angelic?
