reply with features and bug fixes you’d like to see in Philthy, the lemmy fork that runs on this instance. no guarantees I’ll get to any of them soon, but particularly low-hanging fruit and well-liked features can be prioritized.

you’re gonna hate me but this style of code is usually my jam
however, the fact that it’s a conditional whose true branch essentially crashes the task for something that happens frequently (this pattern is everwhere in lemmy, and it’s why my logs are almost nothing but long stack traces) is truly godawful
oh I understand the appeal: it is rapid to express on the fly without breaking flow and enumerating through failure cases. and, for a bit of leeway, there is the upside that rust’s rich return styles affords better actual expression/handling
but ime each site the pattern gets used for barely holds out at that approach over time (for all but the very simplest cases), and you always discover this far later, when the appropriate context has gotten paged out of all relevant peoples heads
(at one of my old clients, an :aa-gun: emoji was added exclusively because of my code reviews)
