Any bot makers want to make one to check for an archive.is paywall bypass?

I was pretty impressed with it the other day, it converted ~150 lines of Python to C pretty flawlessly. I then asked it to extend the program by adding a progress bar to the program and that segfaulted, but it was immediately able to discover the segfault and fix it when I mentioned. Probably would have taken me an hour or two to write myself and ChatGPT did it in 5 minutes.

Speed of development. It could take months for a PR to get into Lemmy core and then a new release.

Things that get into Lemmy core have to be well thought out and the core Devs have to want them in there.

Running custom code is a way to make changes without having to get their approval, and if it proves popular enough, then maybe they'll implement it upstream.

Option to make both the comment icon and number on a post open the comments would be great. I basically never want to comment directly on a post without first opening it and I'm constantly fat fingering the icon when I want the number.

You're looking at it from the perspective of somebody who disagrees with Twitter as a company and a product.

I just hate their shitty UI.

Isn't that "include instance tags in names?"

Who is this for? People who write lots of regular expressions won't need it because they know what they're doing and people who don't write lots of regular expressions probably won't find it anyway.

It just seems like a weird type of user who actually wants this.

There's an XKCD for that: https://xkcd.com/810/

I've been oscillating back and forth between wefwef and Connect and think I'm likely to stick with Connect.

I love all the customization options, they really let me change the UI to the way I was used to with RiF.

One thing I'd ask for is an option for text posts to have a dummy thumbnail so that all submission entries have the title, submitter, community, comment/vote counts in the same place. At the moment posts in the list without a thumbnail look a bit disjointed.

So if you're the only user (let's assume for ease) then, that represents all the updates (posts, comments, votes) from each community that you are subscribed to?

That seems high when you extrapolate that to 10000 users, like a larger instance might have.

I think from the point of view of speed/ease of development, the webapp makes more sense for now. Once it's more stable, perhaps a native app is worth trying for performance reasons.
