Yeah, I understand what you mean (after a year of exploring the Web Socket).
That lemmy auth value is pulled from a JWT cookie in the browser - which you can access in JS by document.cookie. It allows user-specific API calls (retrieving saved posts, subscribed communities, etc).
Yes exactly - living on the edge!
One way to learn the new API is - explore the code of (similar) extensions and browser scripts, to see how they build and send their calls.
Is there a specific API call you’d like to make?
Maybe someone can reveal that method and endpoint.
It you’re open to running User Scripts, this one called Fediverse Redirector redirects all Community, Post, and User links to your home instance. It works well.
Just click install on that page - it will be added to TamperMonkey (or similar).
Then click settings (under the script) and enter your home lemmy instance.
And to directly answer your question: the raw code is visible in that repo, so you could explore how the post redirect query was constructed.
Yes, this issue has been fixed and merged into 18.1 (the next lemmy version).
You can see the lemmy-UI github issue here.
You can see the fix/merge here.
And as a temporary fix (until 18.1 releases) - if you click the “create post” button, then click the “back” button, the subscribe button should magically appear.
Okay - What value does a haiku bot add?
It only tells you that a post was 17 syllables…
If you agree that most bots are spam, then why are you making and promoting bots?
Here’s a human haiku:
bots are part of what
made reddit such a wasteland.
most bots are just spam.
i wish lemmy would
remain a place for humans.
why can’t we just talk?
Yeah lemmy is a chill place.
It is wild to watch the rapid expansion.
This monkey-script is awesome: Lemmy Universal Link Switcher
It converts all links to your home instance (in your browser).
