    Good news: The Loops embed feature has moved to beta.

    If anyone is willing/able to test through the hosted instance (linked above) and submit any bugs they may encounter, it would be greatly appreciated :)


    On the array sort…that is clever but it doesn’t return those values to something you can use; it just sorts them on screen. I respect the cleverness, but yeah, not useful.

      This is not the reason it isn’t useful. The function could just as easily modify an array as print; you could also keep a list (or an atomic integer if that functionality is available) of which have been sorted and spin until it shows that every member has been sorted. Taking n milliseconds to sort an array whose highest element is n, with the cost of all of the thunks, plus the potential for a (very rare) race condition… not so great.

      Regardless, I’d hire either of these programmers if there weren’t red flags elsewhere.

        Hey, is there any chance it might make sense to slow down the rate at which loops are posted?

        I really enjoy seeing them on my feed, but if I’m subbed to the loops comm it just floods literally everything else and every other post is a loop with a vertical thumbnail twice the height of other posts. Edit: just checked and it’s actually several loops for every other post 😅

        If it’s not something that makes sense for the comm that’s fine, I just wanted to ask :) engagement seems like it might also be a bit higher with a more limited selection of posts

        Hope you have a lovely day :)

          Thanks for the feedback! Would it help if I used something like schedule.lemmings.world to spread the posts out over the day?

            I think that would help a lot! There are just so many of them in quick succession that it’s really easy for them to drown out all the other stuff I’m subscribed to

            Thanks for the work you do running this community and posting stuff for folks, it’s appreciated :)
