Argh! 😰

You’re right, I didn’t dig past a first glance, and I missed [counts fingers] some 60+ years worth of copy/pasting…

Looking good. I have to ask, considering what I have ahead of me — that newsblog going back to 2022, are those all Hubzilla-native posts, or did you import the older ones from another CMS?

Ooh, thanks! That didn’t turn up in my searches. Are you involved with this?

I’ll try to get by with my rusty schoolbook German, and browser translations if needed 👍

I was hoping for advice on the list I’d gathered, but you’re not making it shorter, Julian 😄

Thanks for the offer! I’ll bookmark this and put it forward to my co-admins. I’ll have to look into Wagtail myself a bit, too. 👍

Our first priority will be to migrate the site as fluently as possible to whatever CMS we transition to. Archiving it as HTML and starting from scratch with a new platform — that’s a last ditch effort, I think.

[Edit: I tried to cover the WP fork subject here]

Hugo as a longterm solution isn’t going to float with some of our users, I’m afraid. I can vividly imagine somebody turning the old site into a single “Hello world!” page given that kind of permissions.

We will need strictly limited access for contributors, and a clear, friendly input field for text…

maybe go for a combination of them

This is a very practical solution… until somebody (I suspect me) has to maintain three or more installs instead of one 🙂 But you’re right, this could very well be a way to solve the “one size fits none” conundrum.

As for using a WP fork — the point about the ActivityPub plugin breaking compatibility with ClassicPress makes me wary of this approach. And AFAICT ClassicPress is one of the more reliable WP forks out there? In the long term, I mean.

I’m fine with switching my personal browsers if/when one or the other FF fork turns to the dark side, but I wouldn’t want to hop this site between different WP forks the same way…

Thanks for the suggestions! I realise preserving URLs is perhaps the tallest order here, and that we may have to set up redirection to the new ones.

Failing that, archiving (a static version of) the site could definitely be an option. Considering the long history of the site though, our first choice is continuity over an abrupt break.

Same thing happened to me. If I block someone on Mastodon or another Fediverse microblogging instance, they’re blocked. Because that part of the Fediverse was built by people who had been harassed and doxxed off other platforms.

Here? Blocking just means you don’t see the troll, but they can continue to inflict all kinds of havoc on your post scores. Ironically, “karma” isn’t a thing on Lemmy like it is on Reddit, but votes are still used to rank your posts.

I guess there are a hundred great folk on here for every preteen edgelord, but that kind of nonsense really spoils the fun of this platform. Sorry to see you get downvoted for a perfectly reasonable post.

I mean, good for them. Now, if anyone has actual mental health issues, please get in touch with a trained, human therapist.

Then you’ll love being able to read a description of Android Authority at the same time.

Anubis makes your browser solve a challenge to verify you’re not a LLM crawler scraping content. It shouldn’t have the effects that OP describes.

That actually sounds interesting, yeah. Thanks for clearing it up, I was obviously out of that particular loop 👍

Okay, I’ll stop (what even is it?)

Edit: if you’re at all concerned about privacy, maybe provide something else than Play Store link for alternatives. Google bad.

While a fully functional version is available on F-Droid, the Play Store edition is subject to Google’s imposed limitations.

I think that’s the cause and solution rolled into one sentence right there. Use F-droid instead of Play Store.

Oh, let me wish 🙂

Upon which, logically, users just stop using Chrome?

“LOL”, I guess?

While true, doesn’t have anything to do with my comment?

I use markdown for pretty much everything, and I agree with the overall notion of this rundown, but —

Seeing weird characters when you copy-paste from AI? That’s because ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and others use Markdown to format their responses.

Yeah, maybe that’s not the gotcha the author thought it would be.

Markdown — so stupid simple even stochastic parrots can figure it out is a slogan that will age like milk.
