A thought about sincerity:

If this article’s thesis is: “Love each other. Don’t get cynical. Don’t lose joy”… (the last paragraph)

then maybe the article’s title (and body) should feel uplifting and visionary, instead of sarcastic and fuming.

… then it would transcend its own rage.

Is your question a form of experimental philosophy?

Hey, thank you for the reply.

I went through the js-client docs, and the available methods.

Seems GetPost is the one required for importing comments.

I suppose it would arrive (to Hugo) as a json object (identical to the one in the console log of a Lemmy post).

Within that GetPost data, I see that each nested-comment has a parent-comment-id.

**

1 - So would the idea be to rebuild a UI for the nested comments section?

(and then connect other JS-client objects to new UI-elements, such as voting-buttons and reply-inputs)?

2 - Or is there an easier way to display the data, since [Lemmy] and [all built-Hugo-pages] are running on the same server/domain?

(and since Lemmy already has the UI code to build nested comments)

[NOTE: Lemmy is in docker, Hugo-pages are in /srv/]

**

Essentially - What is the suggested/optimal way to display that js-client info on a js-capable static page?

[Please forgive any naiveté in those questions. I am willing to experiment with new approaches.]

I appreciate your response. It’s good to know that this technique is available.

Cool. I often wonder about pulling Lemmy data/components into Hugo (a static website, coded in Go).

For example:

1. Showing Lemmy ‘cards’ in the main Hugo feed (which display meta info about a Lemmy post (such as: number of comments, topic title, and post summary)).

2. Or even… displaying a Lemmy post’s entire comment section (creating a nested comment-section for each Hugo post).

It seems like you’ve experimented quite a bit.

Do you feel like either of those is possible?

Hey, thank you for sharing.

May I ask - How are you planning to use them?

After typing a comment, hit “Tab” then “Enter”

It sends without touching the mouse.

[more tabs are required for sending a post]

To me, that’s the problem with the entire “twitter format”… one-sentence posts hurled into a void.

…In two decades, the internet morphed from:

• careful long-form essays (early 2000’s) to
• belching choppy phrases with zero context (now).

You are smart to stay in the more intelligent zones.

Nice. Yeah url inception.

It will work if you suffix the url with the file extension.

Such as “.jpg” or “.png”

In your example, that would be https://i.ibb.co/ctm60Cx/i2660690070.webp

Okay, it’s a deal.

That’s true. Much better to have clean form with 10% less weight.

Plus, in the long term, it accelerates the progression to heavier weight (especially with the avoidance of injuries, like you said).

The most frequently-used are direct links in the bookmarks bar (with single-letter titles, to display 25 across).

All others, I keep in folders.

To access the ones in folders, you can just type a keyword in the url-bar, and a dropdown will display relevant bookmarks (using chromium).

(for example, you can type ‘coconut’, and bookmarks which contain that keyword will appear)

Keep stackin those joints amigo.

To be fair, if form and function are the same, then this entire question is tautological. (which is a valid perspective)

For example:

• You could make a fork that stabs food perfectly (function).
• You could make that fork shiny, with ornate designs (form).

You could say that both are examples of function, because artistic beauty has a functional purpose (to enhance free expression, and emotional impact).

And that is the frivolity of words… They are mostly redundant (and exist for the beauty of form (which is a function)).

I don’t know why people use twitter for anything…

The UI is bloated, it’s difficult to follow threads, and it loads slowly.

Even worse is when someone shares a twit image or video, to a site like lemmy or reddit. Then hundreds/thousands of people will have to wade through that twit slop.

Much better to just post the image directly, and leave twitter out of it.

So yeah, I agree with you.

Yes, so we can talk to each other.

Thanks for replying. I see now.

Thought I was in a forum of advanced hydro-dynamic engineers for a second there.

@tomasz - Do you think we should bring them back?

The last word of the comment is loss.

Are people saying “None” because the spout into ‘cup 5’ is a mil lower than the rim of ‘cup 5’? If so, then “None” could make sense.

I’m curious what you mean by this.
