@sox there's also an issue with footnotes right now[😭][a][4][3]

Or at least there is an unexpected behavior change.

  1. first note ↩

  2. fourth note ↩

  3. third note ↩

  4. second note ↩

@SimpleStacker got it before you!

Awesome!! Thx @SimpleStacker

Do note the order, and that now the fn-char is shown in the post but not in the note numbering (and because the re-enumeration doesn't happen, the order becomes odd)

I can file a bug if that helps.

100 sats \ 2 replies \ @sox 1h

Footnote definitions are ordered in a dumb-ish way, basically a comes after the 4 lol

I didn't want to implement footnotes with anything other than numbers because it felt weird... but at the same time footnote references should not allow non-numeric values to be considered references.

What made the footnote definitions' implementation trivial is the fact that it's a normal numeric ordered list with normal list items

reply
150 sats \ 1 reply \ @optimism 1h

Yeah that's a behavior change from before, doesn't have to be a bug per se.

[^😭][^a][^4][^3] would previously display as [1][2][3][4] and correspond to the numbered list in the footer as

----
1. ...
2. ...
3. ...
4. ...

the only issue right now is that a displayed [😭] corresponds to item 1 in the list, except there is no way to tell other than by the #fn-<x> and #fnrev-<x> in the urls.

Edit: perhaps not parsing non-numericals (and forcing us to order them manually) is the easy solution, or the hard mode otherwise, replacing the <ol> with a <ul> and parsing the ref from the [^definition]:?

replacing the

<ol>

with a

<ul>

and parsing the ref from the [^definition]:?

This can work πŸ‘€

hmmmm we need a new solution for these LLM catfishers. Before the ranking changes someone producing lots of outlawed content made themselves a bit of a gravity well. There's no easy way to port that to the new system.

reply

Gravity well for posts?

reply
68 sats \ 6 replies \ @k00b 3h

Yes. If they consistently produced outlawed content, they would become an outlaw, and new comments and posts would start out as outlawed.

reply

Is this bad? Trying to understand why a solution is needed

reply

A conman enters your peaceful village, he cons you and many people you know. Your village has no formal judicial system, so how do you prevent the conman from conning everyone?

Our prior ranking system would remember conmen and communicate it. Our current system has no such mechanism.

Ahh Okay thanks

Assuming that no-trust-november is still an experiment, I'd recommend keeping the debt for now because outlawing is powerful at the moment, perhaps overpowered.

Blok got temp outlawed by me (by accident because I fat-fingered a preset button) the other day [a]. I think it's the removal of log10 that makes up and down really sensitive. I'd simulate the behavior to get a better grip but I'm packed right now, so can't do that until next year, sorry.

  1. though it didn't bring it down to -1000 using the 0.3 formula you provided, so it was a bit puzzling. ↩

If this is the item you fat fingered, it was caused by a bug that was since fixed.

And thanks for the advice! I think you’re right about letting it ride

It was, yes. Thanks for fixing it.

Normally, to read, I right-click and select "translate to Spanish," keeping the entire site in Spanish. Then I go to the translator, type in my posts or replies, and translate them to English. Has there been a website update? It's translating the titles and other buttons and options, but it's not translating the text of the posts, at least not in Google Chrome. It's not working today.

@sox maybe it can be a setting instead of a param for the time being?

reply
100 sats \ 1 reply \ @sox 3h

We wanted to fix translations for good, but I agree HTML mode is essential.

Will check if we can detect translations to render in HTML automatically, because finding a really good spot for this kind of temporary switch is a challenge.

reply
100 sats \ 0 replies \ @optimism 2h

Just asking because this has immediate impact on everyone that uses auto-translate.

Even if it is under nym -> settings -> advanced debug settings, as long as it's possible to point someone to a checkbox somewhere instead of telling them to add a query param, it is always more user friendly.

I'm about to unlock the first batch of fixes to text style consistency. A huge thank you to anyone who helped us by reporting inconsistencies and bugs!

I know that this release has been kind of rough to Android users, especially non-Google Keyboard users. Research is ongoing, we're going to fix this one way or another 🫑

reply

Let's go! Just one more thing I noticed. The links in the posts aren't bold anymore.

I might've been too strict and enabled formatting only inside TextNode

Here's how a LinkNode is created in the MDAST pipeline:

MD: [lol](google.com)

[parent]
- LinkNode: google.com
  [child]
  - TextNode: lol

So to apply bold to a link text you can do [**lol**](google.com) which renders as lol


I will make our pipeline smarter and do this automatically 🫑

reply

Cool! That way it makes more sense, using bold just on the TextNode.

After 20 years having same habits and I am still perfectly sane like never before. The secret: know your limits, do not abuse. Doctors only want to sell you drugs. btw... I will be happy to die with a drink in my hand. This world is fucked anyways. hahahahaha Happy holidays to you too !
