Replies would probably be cool but it'd probably be hard to choose which to show. Usually I'll read the whole thread if I read the reply anyways.

Also thanks for the feed I use it quite a bit!

Recognizing you have one absolutely cracked instance you try to make last as long as possible really is such a strange workflow dynamic ๐Ÿ˜‚

I talked to a company Septemberish that had automated DWH data migration strategies, with migration of SQL code all via LLMs

It was like 200k though, so I just did it myself using Claude and what was effectively a Ralph Wiggum loop with some manual input. Its a solvable problem just needs a harness

Aiming to be on par functionality wise with Lemmy/Reddit possibly even interoperable with Lemmy, but with some nice atproto additions like labelers and feeds and a more community based moderation system.

A good chunk of the core functionality is actually done already for the app and backend!

Would love to see an atproto working group around a protocol based privacy respecting human verification to avoid things like this

Hardware and biometric attestation are probably a quick and easy win

Great call out on mutual recognition, that's an aspect I hadn't thought of before.

As someone who views the communities space in the more traditional Lemmy/ Reddit sense, when people here try to propose feeds as communities, it's hard to convey that they're just not the same thing.

Hey #atproto peeps, do any android users want to take part in a closed alpha? Shoot me a DM!

Ahh yeah interesting I might see if I can incorporate something similar into the sign up flow to gate the creation endpoint behind it

@baileytownsend.dev For self hosted .social do you guys have PDS invites turned off or is it generated on the fly somehow?

How's the bot account situation handled? I had one up testing for my appview but it was getting hit constantly with spam accounts from tons of IP addresses

I would think Haiku still outclasses Gemini in every everyday use cases with less hallucinations but I could be wrong or biased.

I love pointing out to the median crowd they usually aren't anti ai it's misdirected anger and they're actually anti capitalism

The pr-review-toolkit plug-in picks up dead code and misleading comments pretty well if you run it before commits I'd only recommend on the Pro plan+ though

From a technical perspective @sprk.so seems much better.

But obviously will still deal with the lack of content

Technically I guess atproto is very nice for this since they should just have a straight pipe out of the relay instead of hitting the Appview server + CDN "win" for everyone ๐Ÿคฃ

PDS account visible on regional 1.1 + 3rd party relays but not in AppView/bsky api ยท bluesky-social atproto ยท Discussion #4379 My did:web account is correctly synced to regional 1.1 relays (relay1.us-east/west.bsky.network) and third party relays but bsky.network returns 404, causing the AppView to show "Profile not found"...

I would love for the last paragraph to be true, but some DIDWEB accounts seem to be able to get into "stuck" where emitting #identity events can't fix.

Had a discussion here, but still not exactly sure where the issue is. I thought the upgraded relay would resolve tbh

I was doing this for awhile, but Codex would only give me 1 or 2 issues at a time during a /review and the process was very tedious. Do you have any recommendations to get around this?

I swapped to using pr-review toolkit plugin and the workflow is more agentic friendly.

Saying it changes nothing is a bit misleading. The moderation has changed A LOT specifically around racism in comment sections being allowed post Trump inauguration.

Technically it's the same but operationally it's very different. The algo has changed too much over the last 5 years to say its same
