Learning Rust and Lemmy
460 readers

Welcome
A collaborative space for people to work together on learning Rust, learning about the Lemmy code base, discussing whatever confusions or difficulties we're having in these endeavours, and solving problems, including, hopefully, some contributions back to the Lemmy code base.
Rules TL;DR: Be nice, constructive, and focus on learning and working together on understanding Rust and Lemmy.
Running Projects
- Rust for Lemmings Reading Club (portal)
- Rust beginners challenges (portal)
- Heroically Helpful Comments
Policies and Purposes
- This is a place to learn and work together.
- Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.
- This isn't a technical support community. Those with technical knowledge and experienced aren't obliged to help, though such is very welcome. This is closer to a library of study groups than stackoverflow. Though, forming a repository of useful information would be a good side effect.
- This isn't an issue tracker for Lemmy (or Rust) or a place for suggestions. Instead, it's where the nature of an issue, what possible solutions might exist and how they could be or were implemented can be discussed, or, where the means by which a particular suggestion could be implemented is discussed.

Rules
- Lemmy.ml rule 2 applies strongly: "Be respectful, even when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome" (see Dessalines's post). This is a constructive space.
- Don't demean, intimidate or do anything that isn't constructive and encouraging to anyone trying to learn or understand. People should feel free to ask questions, be curious, and fill their gaps knowledge and understanding.
- Posts and comments should be (more or less) within scope (on which see Policies and Purposes above).
- See the Lemmy Code of Conduct
- Where applicable, rules should be interpreted in light of the Policies and Purposes.

MODERATORS
You can also find this in the documentation.
Oh. I feel daft now. That's some nice, comprehensive documentation, that I hadn't seen before. I'll edit this post to point to it, and I guess people can maybe use it if they want to comment about a particular activity.
Its also good to explore for yourself. Maybe you notice something missing/outdated in the documentation and can fix it. The docs are generated from these files which are also used in the unit tests.
Yea but repetition legitimises! (A reference/joke BTW)
Seriously though @freamon@endlesstalk.org , how are you deriving all of these? From theoretical understanding of what should happen or actual observations of a test system?
Observation, mostly. Also guesswork and trial-and-error, because I never realised these were all in the docs.
The comments in here are from me running lemmy in a VM, and subscribing to a fake community on a VPS (you can mimic a community with a webfinger response and a bunch of static files). The activities sent by lemmy just went to a basic server, that dumped out the JSON files it received.
I mostly made this post so I could point to something when posting about a Ruby script that can be used to interact with lemmy from the command line. This provides the opportunity to learn about ActivityPub, separate from the more complicated applications that currently implement it.
Cool. So you’re writing a CLI of some sort for ActivityPub/lemmy interaction?
Hmmm. Nothing sophisticated, but I am replying to you right now from the command-line
Very nice!
How many terminal fediverse clients are there?
