You could programmatically rearrange the meaning of sentences. Ie instead of “where is the library I need to get a book” you could do some sort of full word replacement cypher and end up with sentences like “Lets mambo down to the banana patch.”
Just for fun. :-)
Piefed instances now do have a form of this for instance admins to populate new instances.
Admins can:
-pull the lemmyverse data and subscribe to a bunch of communities at once
or
-target a single lemmy or mbin instance, get the list of communities that instance hosts, and subscribe to a bunch of communities on that instance.
Both have some tunable settings to allow admins control over how many communities are followed.
Its not an end-user thing, but it should help with setting up new instances and them not being so ‘empty’.
edit: typo
This code: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/api/alpha
Its mostly freamon and rimu working on that part. Iirc its meant to be lemmy api compatible, but i think there are some adaptations needed to accomadate the piefed way differences.
Freamon got a fork of a lemmy app to sort-of work back in september (https://matrix.to/#%2F!NVUzKiFppMtECaxHQm%3Amatrix.org%2F%24KJqJfus8DVy-B64AC8uWEQ9oiGsRA04AReRF-05nQYA%3Fvia=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de&via=jeena.net) so the alpha api stuff has been coming in since then.
no apps yet. work on an alpha API is in progress though, so soon™ hehe
not a fork, its its own code base built from scratch.
Yes. I added that myself a couple months ago 😎
edit: you have to export your lemmy user settings. that comes down as a .json file. Then you make a piefed user, and there is an import settings in the piefed user profile.
it will also attempt to import any blocks/bans of users/communities you had in the lemmy settings. But if the instance of piefed you are on does not ‘l\know’ about those users/communities it wont add them to bans list. But of course that means the community in question is not federated to the instance you are on, so half-dozen-of-one-six-of-the-other really.
Same. I loved reddit before it went to h*ll. Now I run my own PieFed instance just for myself and even if the other devs give up on the project I know it will still be there. Cause it’s mine
Oooh, good point. That would mess with Lemmyverse data, which would be annoying for discovery
For the federating its a new kind of AP actor. I’ll be putting in a FEP for it in the near future, but its basically a “Group” that only cares about the “Following” collection.
You can see example json for the AP interactions here: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/activitypub_examples/feeds
The AP interactions for a Feed are:
