I just implemented a user overview of mixed posts and comments, but I'm unsure how to do so while respecting sort (hot, new, old, etc.). Currently I merge the user's comments and posts into a list, then sort them all by timestamp.

Because sorting is handled on the server, and merging posts/comments happens after, I can't see how I can't respect sort and still merge the two sets. Does anyone have any pointers?

I expect a similar issue would arise for the unified inbox view also (replies, mentions, and private messages), although in that case there's less need to sort by anything other than recency.

I recall someone mentioning a way to do it through an ActivityPub “resolve object” endpoint (or something like that) but I couldn’t find anything on it again. #1101 will solve this, but how are you guys handling this in the meantime?

So I'm developing a mobile client using React Native, where I'm utilizing Lemmy's messaging functionality as well. This makes it extremely crucial to have notification support (including push notifications).

How are you guys dealing with this problem? This is what I think an elegant solution could look like. We would need to achieve two things:

1. Bring back websockets only for notifications by directly changing lemmy server side code.
2. Find where the email notification code is at, and simply implement expo notifications there.

Whaddya think?

currently my client displays child comments/replies to a given comment based on a get-comments request and the sort arg. if a child comment is returned by such a request, it will be included as part of the tree, but otherwise not. it means the child is subject to sorting itself.

but what is needed is that if a parent comment is displayed/returned by request/sort arg, all its children should be also. that seems to me to be how the webUI works also.

any tips on how to ensure that?

I’d love to host my own Lemmy server but I’m just a script kiddie

Where are you all finding details on what features are included in each version of lemmy-js-client?
