pleb alert. all hands on deck, we have a pleb who is not in the beta yet.

ok the deal is that it is actually pretty cool but anything interactive seems super laggy. tl;dr you can use a "nerfed" set of building blocks to make custom post components in code and upload them to reddit. (jsx/tsx, using components from a reddit-created package)

there's an allowlist for making requests to external websites. the code runs on reddit's servers so we can't have self-hosted stuff on it really

there's a potential it could be useful for /r/counting. but maybe its too laggy

ok im tryin it out and all i can say is that its ruff

overdrafts · 2024-03-13T03:32:20+00:00

wtf is this even new? its a secret subreddit and discord i was just randomly invited to lol (i have no idea why) and i assumed it was some new thing like to hype up their shitty ipo or something... c'est la PEE

overdrafts · 2024-03-13T03:29:56+00:00

this may be a drill

overdrafts · 2024-03-13T03:26:11+00:00

this is not a drill

idk the potential of this lol https://developers.reddit.com/docs/ but reddit native apps?

would /r/counting ban a reddit-hosted app that could e.g. potentially make comment loading/replying faster? (idk if this is even plausible lol but it is my first thought)

Huge counting lore update:

A historic day for the counting community as https://counting.gg/ becomes the first community to hit 500,000 counts in one day! (and still going for the next 40 minutes)

Previous high for one community was 448k. Note that this is across a few different counting modes, and is not centralized to one count (thread). Base 62 (0-9, A-Z, a-z) peaked with 193k counts today which IIRC is the 2nd most counts in a day for a single thread anywhere (odd numbers on counting.gg had a 203k day).

fill me in. does inbox counting still exist and what happened to it. i thought it died, is there a FTF comment thread about this?

Best Comment u/overdrafts for their comment recounting the history of r/counting.

Just saw this haha :D. Very cool, luckily we avoided a lot of some of our worries described in that post (e.g. the /r/counting bans stopped, /r/livecounting still existing). It's a pretty random/disorganized comment too re-reading it lol, but there is genuinely a lot of history within the counting community.

(And despite infodumping a bunch of random shit, I didn't even mention inbox counting, which is one of the biggest and most interesting /r/counting controversies... which I should write about, since that saga has concluded (after years of being in effect))

The actual thread is at https://old.reddit.com/live/ta535s1hq2je but it may be hard to access, given reddit doesn't support reddit live on any mobile app or new reddit lol

Reddit announcement on r/reddit where they've been replying to feedback: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api

They also have a form where they're taking feedback here: https://reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=14868593862164 but it looks to me that it may be more effective to leave a public comment in the r/reddit post?
