I’d write a bookmarklet for that case:

javascript:
{
const name = 'ABC';
const d = new Date();
const year = d.getFullYear();
const month = d.getMonth();
const date = d.getDate();
document.activeElement.value = `${year}/${month}/${date} ${name}`;
void 0;
}

This bookmarklet inserts the desired text into the currently focused text box. Tested on Lemmy Web UI.

What program are you using to write or edit the comments?

Yes. See https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/04-api.html for general usage and https://github.com/db0/pythorhead for a library (written in Python).

Edit: See also: https://lemm.ee/c/lemmydev and https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/lemmy_integrations

As already suggested, take a look at i3 Window Manager’s docs: https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html because Sway (works on Wayland) is a port of i3 (works on X11).

** URL now never sends user email addresses in HTTP requests.

Someone like me may want to know the background of the change, so here’s the commit and the relevant discussion.

Here’s the relevant issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/issues/1666

I believe that detection works for posts in the same community too. I posted two same links in a community and both was detected as cross-posted:

• https://lemm.ee/post/31756832
• https://lemm.ee/post/38772950

You can get the cross posts via API resposne. See cross_posts field in the response of https://<instance>/api/v3/post?id=<ID>.

Yes, they started the restriction a year ago. For a future reference, here’s the announcement about the restriction (written in Japanese): https://support.misskey.io/hc/ja/articles/7604557294607

I think it doesn’t work. I skimmed Lemmy source code (search scrape_text_for_mentions if you’re interested) and found this issue so I’m almost sure the mention in the post body doesn’t work, but haven’t tested, so I used the word may. Sorry for your confusion.

FYI username mention in a post body (not in a comment) may not work.

Oddly, the endpoint on lemm.el and lemmy.ml return comments:

> curl 'https://lemm.ee/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=45734814' | jq '.comments.[] | .comment.content[:50]'
"Yeah, you're right. I didn't read enough of the do"
"Thank you for the tip ... but whatever I try with "
"~~In 0.19.5, they removed the deprecated `post_id`"

> curl 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=21766749' | jq '.comments.[] | .comment.content[:50]'
"Yeah, you're right. I didn't read enough of the do"
"Thank you for the tip ... but whatever I try with "
"~~In 0.19.5, they removed the deprecated `post_id`"

I think it would be better to ask the admin of the instance before creating the issue.

Roots of Pacha - well polished, stress free farming sim. Highly recommended if you like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons.

Vertico expands the minibuffer which I do not like.

You might want to try some Vertico extensions such as vertico-flat that displays completion candidates horizontally.

“why should images be any different, really?”

Without proxying or other means, images are automatically loaded. A user may post tracking images to collect IP addresses or to harras a specific user. It’s quite different from manually opening the external sites (that aren’t autotmatically loaded) to read stories.

Thanks for writing the summary for the current image-proxying related issues. I prefer the “proxying images route” for better privacy, but its drawbacks sounds worse.

If Lemmy has a user-customizable setting like “Don’t load external media automatically” (including images, videos, etc.), I’m happy with the “passing through external images” route.

Yes, fenced code block with specifying langauge may work as a workaround.

```text
systemctl --user cat emacs
```

but I said “inline” explicitly.

lemmy-ui: Highlighting some words blindly in inline code is really annoying. For example,

• systemctl --user cat emacs
• pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect

Since it’s a MediaWiki page you can get Markdown source of the page with appending action=raw query to the URL.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. It seems a long standing issue: https://github.com/Maato/volumeicon/issues/49

But the problem is that if you plug in a USB or bluetooth headset, it doesn’t automatically switch to it as the default.

How about module-switch-on-connect?
