I've been thinking along the same lines. The bot will catch up on its own missing data in a couple of days - so it's won't need to do the "over 7 days / over 6 days" biz. When everything is for over 7 days, I'll start putting new entries at the top (with maybe just a single line, for previously mentioned stuff)
I think this is the issue - if the community itself isn't tagged, blocking NSFW on your account doesn't filter the posts (although they should be blurry if the posts themselves are tagged).
Fortunately, most of the untagged communities (inc. celebs) are modded by a user called Madness, so blocking him cleared up my feed.
Are there any good fan-edits of ep 3, that keep the good and remove the sucky parts?
Yeah it's a thankless task. I don't know who it was who thought "Let's start our own Reddit ... with reposted stuff from Reddit!"
Thanks for the suggestion - I'll give it a try. There's so many Communities (about 20k) and they don't change that often, so it's difficult to know what the best metrics are. Only really to try something new and see whether it produces something interesting. So I'll continue experimenting.
This is the response for a community:
{ "baseurl": "lemmy.world", "url": "https://lemmy.world/c/starwarsmemes", "name": "starwarsmemes", "title": "Star Wars Memes", "desc": "Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.\n\nTechnical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a \"Subscription pending\" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)\n\n\n\nSp", "icon": "https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1df05a77-c6dd-4662-9ea3-62a24ca9a25f.jpeg", "banner": "https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a6a96e24-de89-4720-9bbe-9ca5447dc6e3.png", "nsfw": false, "counts": { "id": 287, "community_id": 465, "subscribers": 7847, "posts": 216, "comments": 1734, "published": "2023-06-07T14:25:41.586869", "users_active_day": 10, "users_active_week": 204, "users_active_month": 905, "users_active_half_year": 945, "hot_rank": 0 }, "time": 1689730109444, "isSuspicious": false, "score": 2895543 }
To give you an idea of which information is / isn't available (I don't know why I thought the description wasn't in there)
The other "trending" lists work off "users_active_week" I think, but - for me - seem as likely to link me to something inactive/empty. Post today vs. posts yesterday would be doable (but I'd probably rather read one interesting post in 'hobbydrama' over then posts from 'risa')
Right now, we only have your word for it (there's no image?)
I disable them individually as them come up, but it's a pain, and can see why people just Death Star the lot of them (is "death star" a verb?).
As the author of a bot that I hope is useful though, it's kind of a bummer.
Adding descriptions would be complicated tbh: some are massive (so it's difficult to know where to cut off), the JSON from lemmyverse.net doesn't include them, and I'd have to make a new decision about how many Communities to include (this post would probably be unmanageable if it was full of descriptions too)
The metric used (subscriber growth) doesn't account for if there's actually much of anything there, but I like that these lists highlight new stuff that people might be interested in, rather than ones that people probably already know about.
The new posts (from today onwards) include the subscriber count in them.
Thank you, but it was the one after that one. You wouldn't have seen it. I know 'cos after I tagged it, I couldn't see it either (well, not without changing my account settings, which makes Lemmy into a whole other experience.
Just watched ep 1. Think I'll continue in the same way I watched season 1: admiring how good it looks, but finding it frustrating.
As an example: as welcome as a naked Lee Pace fight scene is, it didn't really establish how many assassins there were / what they were doing at any given moment.
Was good to see Holt McCallney (from Mindhunter), show up though.
