what’s the advantage to storing session info on the server versus just handing out a signed cookie with username and expiry date, anyway

smaller cookies, at least

this is probably a solved problem but our garbo oidc implementation would make massive-rear end cookies if you didn't use server-side session mode

easier to revoke individual sessions?

but tbh i think it'd make more sense to just do signed cookie anyway just to avoid problems like this

cohost feels like it really needs some sorta above/below the fold thing... which i think it has, but isn't really used? i think i saw a tip about it but don't know where that was

my feed is a constant jarring transition between shortposts and epic large content posts, in their entirety, without any summary blurb up top i can choose to expand or not

in Settings under Display Settings there's a checkbox for "hide middle of long threads by default" that will collapse long-rear end picture threads for ya. I don't think that will do anything for the long single posts, but it helps reduce scrolling a bit

this is probably nasty of me but the fundraiser posts are starting to grow in number, and theyre always really long as people plead their case, and i wish it wasn't that way. same with "need a job" posts. i know we're in hellworld recessioin land but feed is starting to bum me out. if i'm an rear end in a top hat for saying this just tell me

i enjoy cohost generally, but tbh even if everything else sucked it'd be worth it for the css nonsense, and this series is just real neat: https://cohost.org/lexyeevee/post/507300-css-for-css-baby-2 (presumably almost everyone has already seen it posted, but for that last person needing it).

web dev is hard when you have 100k + users and a 3-4 person team who work normal hours only

luckily the staff endorse userscripts to fill in some of the shortcomings with the site

install grease/tamper monkey or whatever and browse this post

https://cohost.org/kiophen/post/466503-cohost-userscripts

maybe some will become features one day

He quote-tweeted [rechosted] himself and made additional content updates each time. It seems odd in this format, for sure.

yeah sorry i kinda went overboard with the posting https://cohost.org/garbo/post/555109-more-pics-i-ll-neve

apparently there are greasemonkey scripts you can get that remove duplicates from your timeline. also i think they're working towards making the timeline better in general to avoid duplicates

yeah the combination of x posts per page + every person you follow who rechosts something causing the whole thing to be duplicated = any time a chost gets popular in your social circle it takes up entire pages of your timeline is not great and I'm glad it's something they're working on

you can (and should) turn on the "collapse long posts by default" option which turns any of those 10-plus shares into just three, which is still a ton of screen real estate but significantly less so

tumblr had a lot of the same problems

Probably comes from using Tumblr as the base idea; that's how your dashboard would look back in the day.
