@mint @silverpill I notice you reacted :watameloncool3d:
Very :watameloncool3d: of you but how did you :watameloncool3d: react over Mitra? You can't custom react over the current frontend nor Husky last I checked

@silverpill I'm trying to make the current webp the background for the startpage. In my designated theme directory, I have this in assets/startpage.webp. I restarted and it's not the bg from what I can tell. Am I doing something wrong :tidusgrimace:

@silverpill @mint Upgraded, I assume it maps based on directory (e.g. $THEMEDIRECTORY/assets/asinine.png replaces /usr/share/mitra/www/assets/asinine.png)? Time to figure out how to put a melon in the corner of the screen for the main UI :watameloncool3d:

I do wish I could attach a .zip in Mitra. Maybe I missed something in config.yaml

@silverpill @mint After this, emoji autocomplete and emoji reacts on the frontend I'll basically have no reason to revert to Pleromer :watamelonsmirksmt:

@silverpill I did a bit of theming :watamelonsmirksmt:

@silverpill I used the asinine technique of manually replacing a file in /usr/share/mitra/www/assets

@silverpill yup. Cleared out the extraneous posts and now it's set to clear posts older than 5 days so it shouldn't bloat up like that again. :eimithumbsup:

@silverpill in addition I realized why it was giving me a job queue every time I tried to change the relay stalker's (RIP) password. I mistyped mitractl as mitra. :lumiclussy:

After much autism the db problem is fixed

Is this what I get for using @relaystalker to follow relays for federation? :watamelonogey:

@silverpill @Tadano Good news, emoji reacts are visible! Aside from Husky I don't know of any other Android clients that support it unfortunately. Also the old notifs that came in are still blank but I'm sure new ones will display properly. :watameloncool3d:

Added some more emotes :cirnoshrug: :koronesmug: :rance: :pomustare: :smirk: :muraustare: :koronesquish: :kiaratinfoil: :faunanun_calm: :watamelonsmirksmt: :uuuu: :schizotroll: :kiarasmugmsp:

Would be nice if they were organized alphabetically by default though :cirnoshrug:

>Perhaps something is wrong with this particular emoji? Mitra has a size limit for emojis and may also discard certain file types. Could you ask that user to send the same emoji react to one of my comments?
Oi @bleedingphoenix hit this man with your finest Holo emoji react :watamelongun:

>I don't know why this might be happening. If you have a GitHub account, consider reporting it to Husky dev https://github.com/captainepoch/husky/issues
Done :eimithumbsup: https://github.com/captainepoch/husky/issues/75

>Server-side CSS modifications shouldn't be difficult to implement. I'll think about it.
:mintpray:

>Autocomplete is easy, it is a 100% frontend job. Mitra UI already supports mention auto-suggestions which are similar.
>Emoji reactions are much more complicated, they require both backend (+federation) work and frontend work (+UI design).
In that case how tricky is the federation work on the backend? As for the frontend, IMO just copying Pleroma's UI design for emoji reacts (emoji react button that leads to picker with search + emoji reacts shown just above buttons) but I don't know how painful that is to implement.

@silverpill @Tadano Good to hear! In the meantime, is there an option to increase the emoji limit? :murau:

@Tadano @silverpill @splitshockvirus oh and one last thing why are half the emotes I sent in this DM to myself not federating

@silverpill @Tadano @splitshockvirus
>The default Mitra frontend should notify about incoming emoji reacts. Are you saying that these notifs are not displayed in Husky?
I don't see them displayed in Husky nor the default web UI. In the former, I just get blank notifs as seen in my screenshot. On the web UI I don't get a notification at all. Take pic related, the same user favourited and emoji reacted to OP yet I only received a notif for the favourite/like. Am I interpreting it incorrectly or did I misconfigure something?

>Could you elaborate? They seem to be working fine on my instance.
I should have specified this as a Husky-specific issue, I notice that replies I see never indicate who's being replied to. This isn't a problem on the default web UI, thankfully.

>You can make a quote post from a thread. Open the post menu and select "Repost with comment". It is also possible to add a quote to a post using the special wiki-like syntax: [[activitypub_id]] (see the doc).
I should have RTFM'd better kek, thanks for the link :watamelonuoh:

>A subset of markdown is already supported. Do you need some markdown feature that is not currently supported (e.g. headings)?
Didn't know! Again, mea culpa for not RTFM-ing. Headings would be very nice to have, however.

>Currently it's a bit complicated because you will need to re-build the frontend: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-web#customization
>I want to improve that though.
Thanks for linking, and glad to hear. IMO being able to change the site logo from web and modifying the CSS, frontpage layout and about page would be very nice. If not from web, from the server without having to rebuild.

Thanks again for the response! :mintpray:

Addendum: In your opinion, how complicated would emoji reacts + autocomplete be to implement? I looked in the codeberg and didn't see any issues or anything related to it.

Now that I have used Mitra for a bit, I think I can comment on it a bit

WOT I LIKE:
>stupidly lightweight, barely uses RAM/CPU resources, see pics related from boot and longer uptime
>greentext by default
>restarting is quick
>default UI is nice, no bullshit and loads quickly, hovering over emojis zooms in on them
>mitractl is a really nice CLI tool
>install + maintenance is piss easy, especially on Debian courtesy of the .deb packages
>dev isn't retarded, is in fact pleasant, polite and responds very quickly to inquiries (see: doing a quick release to add deleting accounts in the web UI when @splitshockvirus brought it up)

WOT I DON'T LIKE:
>no emoji reacts, even husky seems to filter out notifications for them
>no emoji autocomplete
>replies in threads kind of janky (I know dev is working on it)
>federation seems kinda janky, making the relay account for it is a cool solution but I don't know how to follow dedicated relays on it (e.g. https://relay.fedi.agency/actor)
>also find that federation is slow but I can't really quantify it in any useful way
>no quote posts (not terribly salted peanuts about this but mite be cool to see)
>no markdown options for posts
>kinda wish there was a web UI for administrative stuff
>wish default UI was more customizable (e.g. like how you can change the background, logos, front-page, etc. on Pleromer) I could be full of shit assuming you could just muck with the assets directly for results

Overall I really like it and if emoji reacts + autocomplete were implemented along with the replies I'd definitely make this my main instance software. Looking forward to seeing where this goes

@silverpill @splitshockvirus In addition, documentation is not as extensive as Pleroma but I find this problem is very quickly being solved (see: install guide on buck.al, federation guide just done). And the docs available are bretty gud.

Also like the frequent releases :watameloncool3d:
