  • glad you got going!

    thanks for opening issues in the repo.

    bindings are just work to do. development moving v fast, mainly I’m just still trying to add basic features. eg posting is only 4 days old.

    I’m not sure about the markdown issue, I just require markdown-mode. mayb I use a fn in the mode that requires the binary.

    Lemmy uses markdown, so to render post content I take the markdown data, render it using markdown-mode, then render the HTML output.

    not sure how else to do that, nor how to not rely on markdown mode.

    I shd look into it more, but mainly I had to just find my own way, as Lemmy is hardly documented at all.

    feel free to make more requests, its easier than fumbling along alone.


  • that’s interesting and also pretty frustrating. i didn’t think i’d encounter such issues using plstore. are you able to provide a backtrace for the error? it’ll show what is calling the encryption functions, and there could be an error before the one displayed. also try manually opening the .plstore file in your .emacs.d directory and encrypt and decrypt it while open. maybe you do just have some plstore problems. / btw, lemmy and lem.el require markdown, so best to install it. the latter requires markdown-mode too.



  • interesting. mastodon.el also uses plstore, so if it works (saving your credentials) your machine’s encryption should be working. but the auth process for the two services is totally different, so I had to write the lem.el auth code from scratch. I can take a look at it v soon, I’m keen to have any auth issues sorted out asap.

    it’d help if you cd describe when the error message appears, or what exactly you do that causes it.

    actually a backtrace would be most useful to track down the error.

    you cd also try opening the plstore file in your .Emacs.d folder and encrypting / decrypting it.

    thanks!
