Most feature

submitted by trident765 from (self.FreedIt)

  • I have the clone running on a VM.
  • On Said it you can mute a subreddit and this will prevent posts from the subreddit from appearing on the front page. The mutes are recorded in the CassandraDB database, which I am able to retrieve.
  • The mutes in the CassandraDB are organized by subreddit ID, so if you want to map the ID to the subreddit name, there is another PostGres database which contains this mapping. I am not sure why two different databases are used.
  • I am able to put a "most" button on the home page, which takes you to r/most, but when you click on it, it behaves like a subreddit that is not found. Looking at the code, I thought the class called AllSR was the class responsible for the r/all page, but I tried making a derived class from it called MostSR, and changing its path string accordingly, but it does not seem to result in the r/most page being created. This is what I am trying to figure out right now.

Check this for your /r/most feature: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit/blob/master/r2/r2/models/subreddit.py#L2891

I believe they were in the middle of transitioning most data to cassandra, aside from probably the financial stuff

CassandraDB database

LOL

Is that old-Reddit code? They actually named it that? Maybe you already told me this, now that I think about it. Still very funny.

Would be nice to get a mole in Reddit to leak their code for comparisons.

I knew I'd heard of it, I just forgot.

Sounds like it might be good for decentralized wikis, except for the claws of the technocracy embedded in it.

congrats man, that is a deep feature. it sounds like you just missed where AllSR and /s/subscribed are picked up in the routing. it is not trying to use your new custom feed. i would check all usages of the model names and the url paths.

edit: ensure you're good here https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit/blob/master/r2/r2/controllers/reddit_base.py#L301

im stuck trying to get a fresh saidit install going. python 2.7.6 is failing big time, but upgrading the systemwide python to 2.7.18 is messing up the reddit ppas being used. any useful input?

Pinging u/d3rr. Maybe you have useful input?
