Paste the link in the search bar of another instance. If the post is cached, it’ll return it. Ideally, use the link to the post on the author’s instance, rather than the link to the post on another instance.

Technical answer:

Instances store posts from other instances. Every post on the fediverse has a unique ID called the “actor ID”. The actor ID of a post is the URL of the post on the instance of the user that authored the post. On the Lemmy web UI, you can retrieve this by right-clicking on the rainbow star icon below any post and copying the link.

To retrieve the details for a cached post, you can call resolve_object?q=<actor-id>. For example:

https://sh.itjust.works/api/v3/resolve_object?=https%3A%2F%2Flemmings.world%2Fpost%2F41938713

For convenience, the Lemmy UI calls this when you paste a URL in the search bar.

This can work for any URL that points to the post, but you should use the actor ID where possible. The Lemmy backend knows the actor ID of every post it has, but it may not know whichever URL you’re querying with, and you may get a null result when the post is cached.

I hope this helps.

The FIDE regulations dictate that a player who declines en passant must drop a brick on their pipi. A brick is kept nearby for such eventualities

Some buses of the time period did have a similar multi-floor design. This one is from the 1880s:

The database I use at work uses JavaScript for custom functions.

Yep, this will cause a stack overflow.

Not my OC. OOP was told about this and left the post up anyway :)

Oops, I had meant to crop it but messed it up somehow. Thanks for letting me know.

I got this from a Reddit comment, and unfortunately the official app doesn’t have a way to save images from comments anymore. They want people to share a link instead ;-;

The Lemmy UI doesn’t allow you to see others’ private messages, no, but you shouldn’t consider them to be private. It’s possible for instance admins to read them, and in the past there’s been exploits allowing anyone to read them. If you need more private messaging, use Matrix instead.

For your viewing pleasure:

for entry in entries:
    if entry['time'] + 1800 < time():
        guild = self._bot.get_guild(int(entry['guild_id']))
        member = guild.get_member(int(entry['user_id']))
        if member is not None:
            if member.activity.name is not None:
                if member.activity.name.lower() == "league of legends":
                    await member.send("The 30 minutes has elapsed and you are still playing league, get banned.")
                    await member.ban(delete_message_days=0, reason='playing league')

Python does have a switch statement now, actually. And yes, they went out of their way to call it something different - match.

Yeah, you would’ve thought it would work that way. Regrettably, the standard timezone code of Etc/GMT+4 is actually GMT-4. Wikipedia

Today I spent multiple hours trying to debug a timezone issue in a codebase. The timezone I was testing with was Etc/GMT+4, which I had assumed was four hours ahead of GMT. Turns out, it’s actually 4 hours behind GMT 🤦‍♂️

You can also turn off every AI feature with a single toggle in Settings, and it lets you choose whether to enable it during device setup. For now, at least.

The price? Yes.

The tip prompt? Well, no. Unless you feel like mailing an extra $20 cash to Nintendo
