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.

That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.

1. To find new communities - go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, click the top right “Home” icon and input your home instance (ex: lemmy.world)… now you can open/subscribe to every community you like.

2. Get a good mobile app - they are listed here (with a ton of other great new-user tips): https://lemmy.ml/post/1470777

3. Change your default “Sort Type” to “Subscribed + New” (in settings) - now you have a fresh feed of your exact interests, every time you open Lemmy.

4. Communicate in a genuine, open-minded way - to me, Lemmy is a good place to really connect with people, and have honest discussions (versus the often more ‘performative’ tone of greeddit).

Successful Login automatically initiates a GetSite operation, which contains person_id:

op.data.my_user.local_user_view.local_user.person_id

and username:

op.data.my_user.local_user_view.person.name

Maybe that will do it.

Okay - What value does a haiku bot add?

It only tells you that a post was 17 syllables…

• and then duplicates a comment (spam),
• and then stretches the duplicated comment vertically (spam).

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.
