horp guide (horp.sciops.net)

I will keep updating this as I learn more about how this works:

In various places there may appear a "confirm" dialog. you have to type in "confirm" to continue with your operation.

/rss

it's here: https://horp.sciops.net/rss/all.xml
contains all local posts.


/home (homepage)

posts from groups and users you are subscribed to appear here


/front

This is a page that shows a feed of groups selected by admin.
currently it shows every local group.


/groups

list of local groups and external subreddits.
external subreddits appear, if someone from horp interacts with them.

to subscribe to an external subreddit, find the hard url linking to it,
ie: https://lemmy.world/c/comicstrips and paste it into the search field
in the top right. press enter. subscribe. note: this will add the subreddit
to the public /groups list. Everyone can see what you're looking at, but
they don't know it's you who's doing the looking.


/g/group (list of posts inside a group)

If you own a group, you get notified whenever a new post is made.

subscribe

new posts appear in /home

report

snitch on a bad group

edit (only appears if you own the group)

edit details about your group

After you made your own group, if you edit it, there is a "featured:" box. it accepts direct horp urls to specific posts in your group. the ones you put in are then pinned at the top of your group. (like this very post inside neinhole)

pic - featured example

has chat: [removed]

creates a chat page for your group. you get notified (if you're subscribed to the group) when someone posts a new message

pic focused

displays thumbnails to picture posts on the /g/ page

moderated

you have to validate new posts made to your group manually


/g/group/individual-post

open them by clicking "comments" or "title".
if a post links to an external url, clicking "title" will open the url.
"comments" always open the individual post.

if you post a url, be sure to provide a title, otherwise it will be
impossible to open it.

(un)share

share/boost a post to your followers on blogging activity pub platforms (mastodon, snac, etc)
you do not know if you're being followed though.

(un)subscribe

if you subscribe to a post, you get a notification, when someone posts a new comment.

edit (only appears if post is yours or if group is yours)

edit/delete your post
if a post is not made by you but you own the group, this button is used for deleting the post

report

snitch on content you don't like


comments

"#" edit/delete

this button lets you edit/delete your own comments. it also let's you report other
people's comments.
you can also delete comments made by other users if the group is yours (you're a mod)


composing/editing posts

link

this is where you can put a url

title

name of your post. if you're posting a url, you must put in a title, otherwise it breaks and nothing clickable to take you to the url will be present.

tags

multi-group tagging. if you click a tag, posts from all groups on horp with the same tag will appear. this may or may not do something more when the posts are viewed through mastodon.

preview

shows what your post looks like without posting it.

update

post previewed/edited post.

confirm

this is for deleting your post. type confirm and click delete.


/u/user

these are pages with information about the user(s) and operations.
usually you can get to them by clicking someone's name.

follow

clicking this will make the user's posts appear in /home

report

snitch


/notifs

this page shows 100 recent notifications

horp code repository (horp.sciops.net)

https://git.sr.ht//~khm/azorius

you can attempt to fix things!

this is currently handled with js.

mainly an accessibility feature.
in css-less browsers, the comments aren't indented.

currently everything is strictly chronological, which might be preferable

usually forums bump posts that receive comments to the top of the feed

thoughts? i have of course no idea how to implement this. i guess each post would need another timestamp for activity.

i haven't thought terribly deeply about this,
but i've been enjoying the lack of upclicks/downclicks

a community that focuses more on comments and engagementâ„¢ feels healthier

thumbnails are about twice the size of my original PNGs

example: turing-lattice
thumb: 360x360, 176.10 KiB
orig: 1024x1024 88.92 KiB

calling all go'nauts

as of now, all feeds (home, front, /g) do not paginate. all two billion (and growing) posts appear on a single page. this will be bad for feeds with pictures and east european internet users.

Say I had some spare time and wanted to throw azorius patches at you. Is khm's repo the correct one to send them to?

Cheers!

Currently WebPs are rejected and gifs are converted to pngs.

It is _very_ important that my waving bean grace this reddit instance.

notabug (horp.sciops.net)

just curious about azorius and the tech/stack, is there a repo somewhere?

having a lemmy compatible, JS free option (ideally with support for text browsers) would be a benefit to the community i think

also, sustainability? don't want to run into lemmy.sdf.org issues

something that works with gopher/gemini/reticulum would be icing on the cake, even if the cake is a lie
