  • edit: This start bit is wrong; Lemmy does SSR so Javascript-free/spiders should see at least some comments.

    Lemmy is currently pretty terrible at SEO, in large part because the comments don’t load until the JS has run.

    This isn’t just a problem for search engines, it affect things like archive.org and offline reading. Earlier today I loaded a page from an instance that had dropped offline - while they had Cloudflare Always Online enabled, the page loaded without comments so it was almost useless.

    I think it’s a mistake to consider all the SEO-related concerns as irrelevant just because you don’t care about Google, etc. Most of the things necessary for good SEO are just good practices, with benefits for all users, especially in the areas of accessibility and third-party tools.



  • Thursday’s patch is the product of recent penetration testing work that the Mozilla Foundation funded, Mastodon cofounder and CTO Renaud Chaput told Ars. He said a firm called Cure53 performed the pentesting and that the code fixes were developed by the several-person team inside the Mastodon nonprofit.

    This is good to see, although it’s worrying that such a serious vulnerability went unspotted for this long. At least, I hope it wasn’t spotted; maybe some bad actor’s made subtle use and all our bases are belong to them.
