The user in question just switched to a different unicode character that looks pretty much identical to the thorn symbol. AFAIK, we didn’t actually get any complaints from Icelanders, but we weren’t happy with the implementation due to its potential impact on that community. At the end of the day, we decided that this is a user problem where bans and blocks should be used instead of putting something explicitly in the code.

My understanding is that the mbin move feature doesn’t federate out at the moment, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens soon as there are more platforms that support it.

I just did a quick test-move and here is the json that was federated out:

{  
  "actor": "https://crust.piefed.social/u/wjs018",  
  "cc": [  
    "https://piefed.wjs018.xyz/c/testing"  
  ],  
  "id": "https://crust.piefed.social/activities/move/l7NaOQha12PQyYv",  
  "object": "https://crust.piefed.social/c/testing/p/108274/this-post-will-be-moved",  
  "origin": "https://piefed.wjs018.xyz/c/testing",  
  "target": "https://crust.piefed.social/c/test",  
  "to": [  
    "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"  
  ],  
  "type": "Move"  
}  

For context, this was moved from !testing@piefed.wjs018.xyz to !test@crust.piefed.social. The author, @wjs018@crust.piefed.social, is a moderator of the community that the post was initially posted to. I did find a bug in this process, the post flair, which should be community-specific, was moved as well when it should have been stripped. So, I created an issue for tracking that fix.

FYI @moseschrute@lemmy.world

IIRC that extra PieFed code is because the daily games that get posted to that community were constantly being collapsed into crossposts. It really hurt the visibility of the most recent post, kind of defeating the purpose of the community.

I am going to remove this post as it is already a confirmed bug since there was already a post about this in !piefed_help@piefed.social where the bug was confirmed. We are rolling out a fix literally as I type this.

Check out the developer docs, specifically the theming guide if you are interested. If you have any questions, I wrote them, so let me know!

PR in this context is a pull request. It is a way for people to contribute code to an open source project. Random explainer I found.

JSON never looked better!

Relevant PR

Would it be better to just embed the toot? I know masto has oembed stuff, but I have never messed around with it. I guess you still need to have a good title though for the post teaser.

Yep, I just made a PR. I am so used to the more normal way markdown works that I never actually ran into this issue before. I am not sure if this change might break something else in the codebase since markdown_to_html is used in lots of places, so I will let @rimu@piefed.social review it instead of just merging it myself.

I am a data scientist with only little experience in Flask and SQL

That kind of describes me as well, though these days I am less data scientist and more bench scientist. I used to do more data science-y things back in grad school, but these days I only occasionally whip up an R-shiny dashboard or clean some data in pandas. I just really wanted to add spoiler flair to PieFed, so I learned enough to make it happen, and the rest is history.

I have written a big chunk of the markdown_to_html function at this point, I can try to take a look at this. A situation like this isn’t anything we have added to the function, so it must be how the markdown2 python library we are using is interpreting things. Ideally, this is the behavior I would want for line breaks.

I wasn’t around for the project’s creation, only getting involved ~1 year ago or so. However, @rimu@piefed.social did an episode of Fireside Fedi where he talked a bit about this (~24:00 for rationale about the tech stack and ~33:00 for why python specifically).

Vastly improve docs for new developers

If there are any curious folks out there that have a familiarity with python, I am the one that authored the new docs for developers interested in contributing to PieFed. Additionally, one of the guides I wrote is about theming PieFed in case any of you css wizards out there want to tweak the styling at all.

Feel free to reach out if anything doesn’t make sense!

@sunshine@piefed.ca - I think this is the issue you were running into with #1432. Once piefed.ca updates to incorporate the fix from @rimu@piefed.social, let us know if you still see the issue.

I agree that it is unlikely to be a chemical reaction. Instead, I suspect you are nucleating bubbles for the dissolved gasses in the solution (think diet coke and mentos).

When yeast is active, it creates CO₂ as a byproduct. This is how you get bubbles on the top of your solution when you are blooming the yeast. This gas byproduct is also dissolved into the water as well. Letting it sit for that long would give it plenty of time to completely saturate the liquid (or even supersaturate it depending on environmental changes).

When you throw the salt in, those salt crystals act as a nice nucleation point allowing those dissolved gases to form a bubble and leave the liquid phase. I can’t really speak to how salt behaves differently to flour in this regard, but nucleation rate is proportional to the available surface area for nucleation, and salt crystals tend to not clump up nearly as much as flour, making more surface area accessible for nucleation.

I suspect you already know this since you make so much bread, but, I was always taught that introducing an osmotic shock like adding salt directly to your yeast will slow down the rising/proofing process. So, it would be best to add the flour, then the salt on top, then mix them together to help blunt the osmotic stress on your yeast.

Mbin 1.9 just came out and lets users basically set a custom image to go with the link. However, the way it federates is kind of messing up lemmy and piefed, where they just think it is a link to the image only.

Looks like it since it came from fedia. I would need to take a peek at the AP json to be sure when I get a chance. The picture and the link come as two attachments, and PieFed just pulls the first one, the picture.

Your options are limited in the web UI. On your profile page (Account -> View Profile), there is a box on the right sidebar down below your subscriptions that lists your most recently upvoted posts (I think it is just the most recent 10). There isn’t a place in the web UI to view recently upvoted comments.

This information is available in the API, so third-party clients can present it in a different way if they choose. There was recently a very similar post to yours asking about this that led me to chatting with some app devs. One of the Interstellar devs is the one that pointed out to me that this is possible in the API. So, you could try some apps and see if they provide what you need.

Your post is the second time I have seen this request. If there is demand for this feature, then it is probably something that wouldn’t be too hard to add to the web interface (will have to think on where to add it). However, PieFed doesn’t permanently retain your voting history unless an admin sets it up that way. After a configurable period of time (6 months by default iirc), past vote records are purged in an effort to prevent the database from continuing to bloat ever larger (scores remain unchanged). So, this would not be a complete record of all your voted on items for most instances.
