There are no endpoints from which the votes can be fetched. One would have to make an instance to receive the Like or Dislike activities.

from my brief time hosting snac, iirc it stores data in JSON files

https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2 and https://gotosocial.org/

The snac2 dev made it using only openssl and curl libraries. It doesn’t even use a proper database, so it’s very lightweight.

Gotosocial is basically mastodon but easier to set up on the server and lighter on resource usage.

That’s how piefed works iirc

Which features would you like to see in Lemvotes?

I have no idea at all how to make a browser extension, I can try I guess but that’s of lower priority, as I will try to have it use activitypub directly.

Mods too? I assume just for the communities they moderate

Oh, yeah I haven’t added support for entering URLs from stuff that isn’t Lemmy. I will try to add it though, thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks for the heads up, will fix it asap

Which URL did you use?

So people would have to provide an ID to use social media? That seems like a privacy nightmare.

How would they implement such a law?

I’ll also add an option to check a user’s votes and votes in a community (if that doesn’t overload the API lol). There will be a post about this once I get to it

Aaaand I fixed it. The URL can be from any instance now!

Yes, but I just fixed it. Now the URL can be from any instance.

Clients couldn’t add it, they would need admin access to do so

I clarified it rn

They didn’t work because they’re not from the poster/commenter’s instance. As it says on votes.gregtech.eu, currently the URL has to be from the poster’s instance. I am working on a better way to do this.

Not unreasonable at all, I just suck at software development :3

I will try, this is my first serious project so uhh no guarantees :P
