Ask the Mods Important Site Questions (V2)

@Ciaran, @JP
Here’s another, though it’s whitespace as opposed to nothingness.

@JP
Fascinating. I can see the character - it renders as an upside down, reversed “J”. But, I can’t copy it.

It works fine for links, so I can open the profile … I’ll ask the team if we should change that.

@Background Pony #699F
Checking.

From what I was able to find, that’s a dummy character used to display nothing when rendering the default “aa” vowel in the Cambodian writing system.

It’s not showing up for me. Could it be this?

Um… How do you see the images you’ve hidden? I think I might’ve hidden a wrong picture

@Background Pony #91AF
If you’re talking about hiding specific posts (the eyeball icon), go to the image list and click the “Show Hidden” link that’s beside the “Random Image” link in the same bar at the top that shows the pagination; if your screen is narrow, like a phone, it’ll just be an eye icon with a diagonal slash, without any words. After doing that, search for my:hidden.

Or, follow this link - it goes directly to that search, with hidden posts made visible.

If you’re talking about hiding a tag via filters, go to your filters and edit the filter.

Is there anyway I can see an active feed of newly uploaded images?

My goal would be to have a browser on a separate monitor that will either auto refresh when activated by an upload, or it refreshes by itself every so often, and the latest image that was uploaded to derpibooru (preferably within my set filters) will be shown.

@DeluxeFlame
Like an RSS of your watch list?

I would love to see a perpetually scrolling feed of my watch list, or perhaps optionally the Trending list, like we see with ThisPonyDoesNotExist.

I’m pretty sure that would be possible using the existing API.

Then I could filter the results and just have it running in the background when I’m at work.

@DeluxeFlame
You’d have to script it; I don’t think there’s a way to automatically jump to viewing the newest image on the site by itself. It wouldn’t be too hard, using a browser extension that implements userscripts.

Like the one that’s provided to you from the Settings page?

So for FanFics, do they have to be MLP related or can they be anything?
Edit: Picked my lazy ass up and found out myself.

Which social media do you prefer, Twitter or Facebook? Which one do you use more? Is the Twitter account for this said site right here active still?

@TheGamerPainter
How long until we have a depri.social Pleroma instance that automagically logs in with our current Derpibooru logins?

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
You can already do that if you have Chrome or Microsoft. Just use saved password and username (email) login.

Firefox does that too in both desktop and mobile versions; it’s universal with any browser, not just shitbloat like Chrome or spyware suites like Edge.

@TexasUberAlles
Fair enough man, was just making a point. :/
_{^{i have wondered about Firefox doing that too though so thx c:}}

@☬ ᏝᏆᏁᏨᎾᏝᏁᏰᏒᎬᎳᏕᎿᎬᏒᎱᎯᏁ ☬
Firefox also doesn’t interfere with the use of adblockers like Chrome does; in fact it puts uBlock Origin at the top of the list for suggested add-ons.

I meant in the SSO meaning, as in a valid session token for Derpi would also be a valid login token for the fediverse server.

@TexasUberAlles
That’s neat to know thanks :)
_{^{also sorry if I sounded harsh in my reply earlier, was not intended :c thanks :)}}

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
Okie dokie c:

Not sure if this is the right thread but i thought i’d ask

i was uploading this last night,and i was wondering why is the URL catcher giving me multiple versions of the same pic to choose from, when the tumblr source only had the one image?

Spam? Or just …exuberance? (linked to full size)

@icicle wicicle 1517
I dunno. You ended up not picking the highest res one, though.

Also, for whatever reason, it can’t fetch from this post, this post, nor this post

@Background Pony #0054
I thought the image fetcher would always get the highest quality version?

What would be good site to setup commission.

When exactly will the site hit 10 millions images (a.k.a. 10 million uploads)?
