Loqi [preview] [Jonty Wareing] It turns out you can simply serve a file from a domain to use it as your bsky handle.So this guy is now S3. All of S3. https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/110/307/527/459/839/047/original/cf1ae6754c568625.png

[jamietanna] Is there any way to block users with Bridgy Fed? Seeing a follow notification from https://bae.st/users/glow_in_the_dark_cia_agent most times a new post goes out, and it's rather annoying. I'll also filter my notifications on my side to ignore them, but thought I'd ask as we probably do want to have some moderation tooling

[KevinMarks] 502 for me as well
# [KevinMarks] What happens if someone passes it a hellthread?
# Loqi 👆 That! (or "that ^" or "that ^^^") is a rarely seen reply often emphasizing agreement with a This post, but sometimes[1] merely emphasizing agreement with a previous reply https://indieweb.org/that

capjamesg [tankek] mf2.link now supports image posts: https://mf2.link/mastodon?url=https://indieweb.social/@whalecoiner/110321671943722967
# Loqi [preview] [Charlie Owen] Has anyone actually got the wyoming-piper container working with #HomeAssistant Core? I've got it installed, and it shows up as a TTS voice, but I only get a cryptic "error playing audio" message and nothing in either HA or Piper logs. @homeassistant https://cdn.masto.host/indiewebsocial/media_attachments/files/110/321/669/350/646/392/small/7ff5e0407308bb35.png
# [KevinMarks] Because bluesky notifies you when someone posts down thread from you, people have been making threads that have thousands of posts, often using the chatbot duck, and tagging people in so they get a mention for each post. At some point the app was losing it's stack, so you couldn't view the thread, but still get the mentions, and because you couldn't view it, you couldn't mute it.
# [KevinMarks] I think they put a 5 posts deep limit on notifications yesterday
# [KevinMarks] Ah, OK you may be safer then
# [KevinMarks] Can you add a copyable version of the preview link as well as the embed please?
# [KevinMarks] Should that & be escaped as &
# [KevinMarks] Maybe put the show_thread before the url=
# [KevinMarks] Is loqi calling bsky.link on its own url?
# [KevinMarks] Check your logs - it may have seen http://bsky.app in the url and passed you your own url.
# [KevinMarks] You may want to catch that case
# [KevinMarks] That works. You could change the url in the browser bar too (most simply by using GET instead of POST)

# [KevinMarks] Hm. Arguably, yes. I think the good twitter embeds by @benward did that
# [KevinMarks] There was a falg to turn it off
# [KevinMarks] Have a look at the ones in https://www.kevinmarks.com/twittereditsyou.html I have both kinds there
# 
rubenwardy Are there any write ups/etc about the ethics of backfeeding from Mastodon etc? Wondering if it's an accepted thing or not
# rubenwardy aha, found a link on the Backfeed see also: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/12/the-ethics-of-syndicating-comments-using-webmentions/
# [KevinMarks] Nice
# [KevinMarks] Look at the twitter one for hiding the post you're replying to option
# [KevinMarks] If you are offering this as an embed service, it will likely make sense to cache rendered ones with a LRU cache, as if it's embedded in a big site you'll get a lot of load.
# [KevinMarks] Least Recently Used cache
# [KevinMarks] The classic version of this was memcached, but it's not too hard to write yourself.
# [KevinMarks] I expect someone has done this for express already
# [KevinMarks] Promote it to journalists on bluesky. They havev been using http://psky.app but that was a bit flaky too
# [KevinMarks] Testing it by getting a big mastodon account to link to it is probably good too given the thundering herd preview problem there
# [KevinMarks] Let me look. I mentioned it to Sarah jeong, but that may have been too early
# [KevinMarks] Are you not putting images in the OGP? https://bsky.link/?show_thread=t&url=https://bsky.app/profile/sadie.bsky.social/post/3jv2nqhax2e2g
# [KevinMarks] Maybe slack doesnt see it?

# [capjamesg] Weird.
# [capjamesg] There we go!
# [capjamesg] Should there be any more markup on the page that isn’t there already [KevinMarks]?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "going on with Loqi" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "going on with Loqi is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [KevinMarks] I'm on mobile so can't view source right now
# Soni does anyone wanna co-deploy "neighbor search" with us?
# [KevinMarks] I think loqi needs a $http://bsky.app in his regex as he's passing bsky.link urls to bsky.link
