the /c/imaginary x spam is killing me. - eviltoast

Browsing new or Hot and seeing 15 posts in a row to /imaginarytanks, /imaginarycars, /imaginaryaviation, etc. got old the 2nd time I’ve seen it. I’ve had to resort to blocking the communities and bot that’s just spamming for content.

    i feel like that would need to be clarified before implementing one (or both[^hopefully not])

    The dev will write a github issue with everything described for stage 1 of tags before proceeding to gather opinions. But he will only mention stage 2 and stage 3 of tags and I will have to make issues for stage 2 and 3 myself.

    yeah this seems fine (although cosmetics seems like a late stage issue to me, but meh)

    I would love to have an option for customizing the looks of the tags to make it more easly browsable when you have more than just a few but yeah, it’s not something that would need to be implemented in stage 2.

    i’m not surprised, that makes sense. as an aside: there are community id’s? like, uuid’s? or does he mean just comm@instan.ce which is, i guess, an id?

    I just found this on github. It was mentioned by nutomic a month ago:

    Each Activitypub object (post, comment, user, community) has an ID. In case of posts this looks like https://lemmy.world/post/1 with the domain where the creator is registered. When another instances fetches the post, it inserts it in the db and renders it as a link with the db post.id column value, eg https://lemmy.ml/post/3. So the problem is that the url id is exactly the same as the db id, which naturally differs between instances. A cleaner solution for this would be random IDs as described in #1101. This is what Peertube does for example.

    ah yes, convoluted and intermingled subs. fun

    Yeah, that would make the sub waaaay too general. I will leave the imaginary aviation as a separate sub but imaginary ships/subs on the other hand is something that I can merge with imaginary vehicles. I also think that I can merge imaginary armies with imaginary characters and just give them their separate tag once they come out. There shouldn’t be a problem with both of those cases.

    I also have this weird sublemmy called “imaginary cities/cityscapes/landscapes” because it’s about cities but cityscapes very often are also portraying a landscape. I can either make “imaginary scapes” (ik this sounds weird lol) and use it for starscapes, landscapes, skyscapes, cloudcapes etc. and have a separate sublemmy for showing inside shots of cities/villages where far away shots of them would be counted as a “scapes” to which will be included in “scapes” sublemmy and not the sublemmy about cities/villages. The second option is to include cityscapes in sublemmy about cities and repost artworks to imaginary scapes if it contains a landscape on top of a cityscape. But that would result in a lot of reposts though and this would make the OP very sad. There’s also a third option where I include scapes, cities, cityscapes and villages into one place BUT that’s not the content of the same topic which is a very not cool thing to do. What do you think?

    Edit: I also think that I could move imaginary tanks into imaginary vehicles too.

      i guess i’ll have to keep an eye on the gh then - presumably it’ll be on lemmy-ui

      i, personally, would prefer the former. i don’t know which is objectively better, but i was actually considering making a “grungy hamlets” sub.[^stuff like this] although i didn’t really know what to call it. so i’d like / will make a “street level views of mediævil/vicorian/cyberpunk distopic towns”, but i have no interest in wide grandiose vistas.

      i don’t really have strong opinions, but that’s my thoughts. i wonder if we should make some sort of discussion group with tywele, sebinspace, and remus989 to make co-ordinated decisions?

        Alright, inside city/village shots will have their own sublemmy and cityscapes will be moved to scapes.

        i wonder if we should make some sort of discussion group with tywele, sebinspace, and remus989 to make co-ordinated decisions?

        YESSS, I was already thinking about it but I wasn’t sure how to proceed with that.

        Edit: I just realised that merging imaginary soldiers/armies with imaginary characters is not an option because imaginary characters sub focuses on single characters.

            I think that I will merge imaginary aviation with imaginary vehicles and I will just give up on the content that’s not vehicles.
