Thank you! I just upgraded the lemmy version. I thought it would be difficult but it was more painless than I thought.

Ah, I did not know this was a problem. The only reason I haven’t upgraded yet is because it could break the current config. In any case, I’ll try doing it as soon as possible.

I’m working on it. Apologies for the downtime. I added enough resources to keep this from happening for another year, although I’ll try to migrate to 0.19 this week.

Yes, I’ll upgrade this week at latest. Sorry for keeping us back. Historically that used to be the safest decision for Lemmy, but I do realize it’s been a long time.

Thank you. I’ll add that to the status monitor. Do you have experience in system administration? I am basically unable to take proper care of yiffit at the moment, often being out of town and I need some help :(

I’m sorry. Apparently the Lemmy server component went down but because the frontend was still responsive my downtime monitor didn’t detect it as down.

It should now work again! Apologies!

I’m still around, but busy. I’ll try to enable push notifications.

Thank you for letting me know. I’ll have a look into it as soon as possible!

It can be made easily via their API, but depends on what features you’re looking for. What is it that you miss from the web version?

Yes, so the bot currently uses a library that I compiled on windows and the whole bot only runs on windows right now, which I need to change because it’s not viable to keep it running from my PC / dev environment.

Good idea! And yes, the idea is to edit it or strike things through as they get done.

What exactly failed about this?

Generally speaking it doesn’t matter if the artist is the uploader or not, because it’ll take the e6 artist tag. But, it’s true that especially recent images are not on e6. I’ve edited the bot so that it will always post results if it finds a furaffinity, Weasly or twitter link but state that it might be the comissioner’s account instead.

Sorry! It now posted. Initially it wouldn’t post if it couldn’t verify an image’s artist on e621, but I now have it say a message that it could have linked to the commissioner instead.

If the image has an e6 version, it’ll use that to verify the actual artist.

Ha! That’s amazing. You just made my day!

Original idea by: @l_b_i@yiffit.net . Thank you!

Aaaw, I’d love to attend such a con.

Cool, I’m already working on something. Used @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com’s pythorhead library to keep it populated.

That’s not a bad idea, but maybe we could have a link to !newcommunities@yiffit.net instead? Or it could be a link to a static page with a list of all communities. I think that’s more feasible since it wouldn’t clutter the comment section with a very long post.
