#

[artlung] I love a category. Really like https://indieweb.org/Category:Front_end
#
[artlung] And I don't think I appreciated this category before https://indieweb.org/Category:PostType
#
[tantek] Always wondered if it was one word or two. That answers that!
#
[artlung] I agonized a little over that. Front-End vs Front end vs frontend vs Frontend

[mattl] Frun Tend
#
[tantek] Funtrend!
#
capjamesg ^^
#
[mattl] [aaronpk] [tantek] I think we can put another bot in the Discord channel and they can stop the double post when a URL is posted. I don’t know if that has been considered.
#
aaronpk Got any docs?
barnaby joined the channel
#
[tantek] Not sure it can? Bc in discord the edit is a feature to show the link preview. So really it's a bridge issue not a Discord issue
#
aaronpk As far as I know it's the discord API itself sending out the edit, and discord doesn't allow turning off edits, so I don't see how another bot can help
#

#
[mattl] [aaronpk] this in the server settings for the Discord server without a bot can also do it, apparently.

#
[mattl] Settings > Roles > Default Permissions
#
capjamesg I have just toggled on that setting.
#
capjamesg How can I test it works?
#
mat.tl edited /license (+363) "added my own license example" (view diff)
#
[mattl] capjamesg: are you the admin on the server? double check any permissions for admins too and then post a URL to anything.
#
capjamesg Will do.
#
capjamesg Ahh I can't undo the setting for admins.
#
[mattl] maybe another admin can but let me try and join the server for a moment.
#
mat.tl test https://www.dakkadakka.com/
#
[mattl] That seems to work?
#
tantek.com Yup no preview in Discord
#
[mattl] and no [edit] in Slack
#
capjamesg Nice!
#
[mattl] That should help a lot.
