How Did REST Come To Mean The Opposite of REST? | htmx in c/[email protected]

Lol, I probably should have said "legacy". Would hope no one is writing new SOAP APIs in 2024!

How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy? in c/[email protected]

A few niche examples:

/r/generative /r/musicians /r/wildernessbackpacking /r/tropicalweather /r/analogcommunity /r/heavymind

Good luck convincing the non-technical users there to come here. This place is currently great for interests catered to programmers and sysadmins (speaking as one!), but artist and hobby communities are seriously lacking.

SOAP, which is basically dead, or GraphQL.

I think to trying meet all of these without compromises (such as privacy and performance) is basically impossible. How would one boost engagement on positive emotions or personalize without large data mining efforts, model building, and running text classification on every comment or post?

I agree they are good aspirations.

That's fair, I guess I just don't see the connection to OP. From how you phrased this I assumed you were disagreeing.

This looks cool, but I would prefer to not pass my credentials to a third party, especially for features that should probably be in the default client.

Engagement does not exclusively mean commenting or posting; voting is also engagement. If you just want to lurk, why have an account in the first place?

Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing in c/main

[–] macroplastic 1 points 1 day ago

There are a lot of interests I have which do not have enough users in communities here to make sharing things worthwhile, personally. Why waste time sharing art or music or other original content in places where it gets little engagement?

There's a reason the front page is primarily covered in memes, news, technology news, and politics, and that's because those require little barrier of entry to participate in for those tech savvy enough to already be here.

Tankies: A Data-driven Understanding of Left-Wing Extremists on Reddit in c/meanwhileongrad

They did not categorize anarcho-capitalism as far left, it is merely mentioned as part of the diagram of subreddits of varying ideologies. In fact if you actually read the chart in Figure 3, you would see it is firmly categorized along with other right wing ideologies.
