https://lefty.pictures/wiki/help:home>>33427 >I really appreciate it Glad to hear it, this place could use a little more positivity.
>only one other person has been giving any feedback at all.That would be me lol. I wish I could help more, but all I can do is give feedback, kinda strangled at the moment with my ban but keep posting updates and I'll respond whenever I'm free. For what's basically a single-person project you've done immensely well, most comparable boorus are collaborative efforts with several people. The booru system being all weird recently isn't helping either.
As a side note for Shimmie2 if you want an automatic tagging feature, take a look at
https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru It's got a manual add-on feature that can be helpful in scraping tags for images by searching for other booru's md5 hashes. You could maybe use Python or something like that to integrate it into the nuclearxchange booru.
I hate to ask this because I'd rather not bother you with my problems, seeing how you have plenty of your own, but could you please ask Misato to take a look at my ban? It's tiresome to use Tor because the node is so slow and limited (It took me forever to reply just now).
>>33429>what's basically a single-person project you've done immensely wellWell, most of the work is Shimmie2 so I can't take
all the credit! And the plus side is, doing this has made me add some features to Shimmie2
(For anyone curious, here are the code changes I've made so far
https://codeberg.org/nuclearchange/leftybooru/commits/branch/main , the big clump with my name up the top are exclusive to leftybooru while you can also see my commits to the Shimmie2 code below it)
I'll check out that szurubooru code now. While I'd be very cautious about automatically populating tags (e.g. different tagging styles and aliases), it would still be useful to know which other boorus have a copy of the same image.
>ask MisatoSure, just sent them a quick message pointing to your post in the mod feedback thread, hopefully that all works out. The .onion site is being a bit of a pain, no idea why.
>>33432>just sent them a quick message pointing to your post in the mod feedback threadThanks very much for that. I'll look into setting up a Matrix at some point. I'm massively overworked RN.
>the big clump with my name up the top are exclusive to leftybooru while you can also see my commits to the Shimmie2 code below it) Cool, I'll read through some of it.
>I'd be very cautious about automatically populating tags I think you can turn it on and off manually and make it semi-automatic, where you can look at an upload and use the feature to scrape other sites for it if you want to, but not necessarily automatic all the time. It depends on the booru set up you're going for.
Migration announced: 15th June. Expect a gap of downtime as I scrape the old data, process it and import it, will take a couple of hours if there aren't any new problems.
>>33733Posts rated Questionable or Explicit are now blurred until you hover over them.
You can test it here:
https://lefty.pictures/post/list/rating:q/1Unfortunately the rating was pretty useless on booru.org and downvotes were used instead to mark as explicit, and the default rating was Questionable, so there will be a clean-up effort after the migration now that we have the tools to bulk edit and not have to solve a thousand captchas.
>>33739>have adjustable settings for viewers for whether or not they care for explicit content to be censored or not.Writing final tests for some code to do that now! I realized as I wrote it how annoying it would be for people who don't want explicit content blurred.
Currently anon users default to the global setting, logged-in users can customize their settings.
>I'd say only make images that are labeled explicit be suchI think this is a good idea. Questionable isn't clearly defined anywhere on the booru, but I assume it isn't stuff likely to shock users. It's probably best not to filter it, and at least until the post ratings are fixed up so that hundreds of random posts aren't misrated Questionable.
>>33741Update: now active.
>Questionable isn't clearly defined anywhere on the booruCorrecting this: it is clearly defined at
https://lefty.booru.org/help/ratings.php >>33906That being said.
Great. Fucking. Migration. Didn't know i needed all of this these new features. So much better.
>>33911cancel that and delet these two posts pls, I can't delet
>>33911 because of a password issue.
>>33906I'll try and fix that, or at least not make it click the wrong link.
Shimmie (the base software) expects Source to always be a simple link and I had just quickly hacked a fix to make it show plain text unless it starts with 'http', which you've just proved was a false assumption; starting with 'http' doesn't mean someone only entered a link.
>>33907Glad you love it! booru.org was basically stuck on 15 year old software, so even the relatively lightweight Shimmie is far ahead in most areas. The tag autocomplete is like night and day.
BOORU MODS PLEASE REMOVE THIS EDIT I MADE
https://lefty.pictures/post/view/24470I MADE A MISTAKE AND FORGOT TO EDIT THE WAGNER PATCH FROM THE ORIGINAL, THE EDIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ENTIRELY WAR ON DRUGS THEMED.
I'VE REUPLOADED THE PROPER EDIT UNDER THE SAME TAGS. PLEASE REMOVE THIS ONE.
>>39411No need to yell everywhere, comrade. One report is enough, we're not always online so sometimes it takes a little time to respond.
The initial copy is deleted now :)
>>39861>Someone, somehow is deleting uploads for NO reason.I'm looking into this now.
I can't find the file you attached anywhere in my hourly backups (there are no 3000x3500 images at all there). That would either mean it was deleted within the hour (before a backup was made) or wasn't successfully uploaded. I'm guessing you are sure it was posted, so I'm taking this very seriously. (if you happen to have the date uploaded, such as a file date modified timestamp on your disk, that would be helpful)
I've downloaded the list of files currently on the booru and compared them to all the files in the hourly backups, to find all files which were uploaded during or after the June 2024 migration and are no longer on the booru (as long as they were up long enough to be saved in the hourly backups) - I can't see any Leninhat, ushanka or Stalinstasches.
I also checked my old lefty.booru.org backup and couldn't see any in there matching the description. How long ago would you guess that image was uploaded? (if it was over a year ago, it would have been on the old site, which rules out a software issue)
Let me know if there are any others you remember which have gone missing.
>>39861>On top of that, people aren't fucking tagging their uploads at all. Random images have maybe 1-3 tags at a time.I can add a minimum 5 tag requirement on uploads, rejecting their uploads with an error message if they don't have enough tags.
I didn't do it before because I don't want to discourage people from uploading. IMO a garbage tagme upload is usually better than no post at all, unless it's a repeated issue like with those lazy Grace uploads. But now that I think about it, it's probably fine to enforce a minimum 5 tags. Even low-content posts which are harder for new users to tag should still be able to reach 5 tags.
As a related side note, I've built this feature a few days ago to help keep track of tag quality:
https://github.com/shish/shimmie2/pull/1504It's not added yet, because Shimmie changed how user permissions work and I still need to handle that with our code before I can upgrade leftybooru.
>>401165 tag minimum is a good idea, it'll also help filter out some of the very low effort content
>>40115 Don't have an exact time, because I uploaded weeks ago but I THINK it was Feb 6th. I uploaded it, fixed some tags and moved on, so if it got deleted within an hour I wasn't aware.
I'm vaguely aware of some files I remember being on the booru under certain tags not coming up, but no certainty on tags not being changed/fixed and since the old booru got deleted I can't check if my hunches are correct or not.
>>39861None of the staff say they deleted the image, and I don't see any reason why they would, nor is it easy to click by accident.
Maybe someone fat-fingered a bulk delete, but I don't think that's likely.
Post numbers increment each time a post is added to the list, so if a post is uploaded, that number goes up one. A missing post number means an uploaded post is gone.
The only missing post numbers added between Jan 31 and Feb 20 are: (dates in UTC)
>24528 [3rd Feb] Deleted, off-topic TikTok of someone pouring piss bottles on themselves>24532 [4/5th Feb] Meme video attached, will confirm with staff if it was deleted or not.>24534 [5th Feb] Deleted, off-topic generic IRL porn>24540 [7th Feb] ….I can't find it in my hourly backupsUnfortunately the server only keeps access and error logs for 14 days (the default) so I can't dig much further, but if you saw that post page and fixed tags then it was successfully uploaded to the site, so I assume it was #24540. If your browser has
https://lefty.pictures/post/view/24540 in the browser history, then it means you visited the view page before the post disappeared.

Rodong has enabled the trash extension, which adds a 'recycle bin' to allow deleted files to be recovered. I'm not sure if it would help this specific situation but it might save us pain down the line.
>>40433Have you ever logged into the new site (lefty.pictures), as opposed to the old site with all the ads (lefty.booru.org) ?
We migrated from the dying booru.org site to a new site in June 2024, and while we could look at and copy over account names, their posts, comments, favorites, etc., we don't have access to passwords and so we can't copy them over. So users have to claim their old accounts on the new site, until then they won't allow you to log in. Looking at the error message on the server, that's my guess of what's happening.
If you have a matrix.org account, send a message to me (
[email protected]) and I'll set your account up with a password so you can log in.
>>40551Also the same thing for anarcha_feminist
tags like
>anfem, anarcho-feminist, anarcho_feminist should be made aliases for easier searches
