Leading on from an issue with some lost stickied posts on !environment@aussie.zone , i’m now gathering together useful sources of information in regards the Aus environment.
On !perth i gathered them in the sidebar, so they should remain if i decide one day to remove my account.
I’m currently thinking to do the same thing with !environment@aussie.zone since i’ve lost those good stickied posts anyway.
My question, probably for !lodion@aussie.zone or !Nath@aussie.zone , is, is there an ability to add drop down menus to the sidebar to enable better organisation of the links.
If you look at the !perth sidebar its already a bit messy and unwieldy, i assume !environment@aussie.zone will only be more so, with the amount of source links likely to be added.
Edit: sorry for all the stuffed links, i’ll try to fix them
I have the links. I think one of them is probably superseded now but I acknowledge the news links would be difficult to recreate.
So far as I know the sidebar is limited to markup available in regular posts and comments.
Okay. Thats a bugger, i guess they’ll just have to be a little messy. I’ve been playing around with markup, so hopefully using that’ll help organise things better.
Also, I don’t know why the mention links for you and Nath didnt seem to work, sorry, trying to learn.
If your scope of concern is primarily aussie.zone / lemmy users, then are the spoiler tag things (like what’s used in the sidebar of !asklemmy@lemmy.world for example) sufficient for what you have in mind? The formatting won’t work on some non-lemmy platforms, but I assume the activity on aussie.zone is overwhelmingly from lemmy users.
I think i’ll give that a go, see how it looks thanks!
I just copied a bunch of the links into a dropdown on the Perth/WA community. Is that what you meant? You can edit the sidebar to get syntax.
Nice one Nath. Looks good.
I went through lastnight and did the whole list on c/Perth/WA to experiment.
- On my browser, firefox, it worked nicely.
On apps, less so.
- Jerboa doesn’t have the labels, just the arrow icon, but otherwise seems to work.
- Sync doesn’t seem to recognise Mark Up in the sidebar/about section, so its a mess.
Be interested to hear what it looks like on other apps/browsers and what peoples general thoughts.
I want to implement something like this on c/environment but if its going to look messy for lots of people, i’ll have another think.
That’s a bug in the app(s). They’re missing a basic feature of Lemmy. The developer(s) will likely correct it if you report it.
Reported on their community page.
