I wrote this before

I spotted Dessalines posted literal propaganda on some community I joined

gotta be honest that does not sit well with me

Because, in my experience, LLMs are pretty unreliable. You know how it likes to “hallucinate”, or in other words, make up stuff

I say let them try the website themselves. If they liked using that website, then it’s okay. If they don’t like it then it’s okay too, maybe they’ll try lemmy out.

Yeah don’t do that

Thank you <3

Kinda regret doing it, the post is very biased

What was I thinking making this post

Those people who spams posts like that annoys me very much. It ruined my experience of using Lemmy

All of the people who are happy with the fediverse just stay here and participate without writing a navel-gazing “review.”

This is probably a language-barrier on my part, so sorry if I misunderstood your comment, but I also included comments that are originated from Lemmy, or wedistribute.org a website that supports the fediverse movement

OOT, is this post shows up as cross-posted? I think it doesn’t

Noted, moved posts made in 2024 to the top

I still think that most of the posts from 2023 is applicable now

Lemmy.world definitely shows up a lot. But I wonder what could still be improved. The amount of content, I wonder? Not an expert on SEO, but SEO-wise lemmy is doing great, no?

Good one

That’s a good idea. I’m still adding things to be clear

Should I cross post this to !fediverse@lemmy.world?

My Lemmy instance actually can’t fetch YouTube thumbnail, so I actually have to put it manually lol.

See http://www.get-youtube-thumbnail.com/

If you don’t put a whopping 1MB of JavaScript in your website, you’re doing web development wrong.

/s

See the other reply: seems that it was caused by Lemmy backend only fetches the first 512kb of the HTML, meanwhile YouTube puts bunch of JavaScript in the beginning of the HTML

Here’s the fix that was only merged couple days ago apparently, https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5266

Crazy, right

Also, this is a good tip in general:

You can’t fetch title and thumbnail for YouTube links that starts with youtu.be. This applies not only in Lemmy, but other websites too, for example Twitter (even before Elon’s era).

This is, IMO due to the link doesn’t really contain HTML and OpenGraph metadata. It only redirects you. If you try cURL-ing the youtu.be link, you will see that it doesn’t have a response body, only some header including Location header that will tell you where to redirect. The response code itself is 301.
