  • I’ll just remove the ‘freamon’ one when the auto-generated one is up to date.

    The manually-generated one had 5 missing routes, which I’ve since added.

    The auto-generated one at crust has about 48 missing routes. It’s the right approach, and I’ll help out with it when I can, but - for now at least - it makes no sense to redirect people to it (either automatically or via a comment).


    Some thoughts for @wjs018@piefed.social

    /site/instance_chooser probably doesn’t need to be a route. It’s just the data format returned by /site/instance_chooser_search. As a route, it’s returning the instance info for the site you’re querying, so if you want to keep it as a route, it should probably be called /site/instance_info or something.

    In the query for /site/instance_chooser_search, nsfw and newbie are both booleans. With the rest of the API, these are sent as ‘true’ or ‘false’, but they are ‘yes’ and ‘no’ for this route. The newbie query should probably be newbie_friendly In the response, monthsmonitored should probably be months_monitored

    There’s no way to exclude communities for the response to /topic/list and /feed/list: If you don’t put ‘include_communities’ in the query, it’s defaults to True, but if you put ‘include_communities=false’ in the query it ends up being True also (because the word ‘include_communities’ is in the data).


  • I watched Jurassic World: Rebirth the other day (it’s alright). It’s such an odd franchise - one that seems to have lost faith in its own premise. There’s this meta assumption that audiences are bored with dinosaurs (I’m not), and that the solution to this imagined problem is to mutate them (it really isn’t, it’s invariably just silly).

    I also don’t care that dinos couldn’t really survive in the modern climate - that’s what the whole ‘suspension of disbelief’ thing is for.
