<The_Buhs> "Is the last.fm "connected..." <- Yes, brand new and fresh from the oven. lucifer has entirely rewritten lastfm importing to run automatically on the server (like we do for spotify for example) instead of requiring a manual import like before :)
Please let us know if you see any issues with it, but glad to hear it's working well
<metadataismydrug> "Is the new importer going to..." <- Yes, I'm moving the button to import loved tracks (see screenshot in LB#3018), and like before it is a manual one-time process (of course you can re-run it with no issues)
<rustynova[m]> "That makes me wonder, what about..." <- We briefly talked about adding the ability to choose an album cover as an avatar. Any opinions on that idea?
However it isn't exactly on the top of our priority list as we are working on consolidating existing features.

For MB the plan was always to use the Discourse images, but that's effort and nobody has tried to implement it yet
rustynova[m]
It's definitely not a priority for me too, but more of a what if.
Although album art pfps is just pinned tracks with extra steps imo

any particular reason why custom pfp's aren't also considered?
rustynova[m]
Too much work?

I think we were worried about potential additional moderation work, considering we are already limited in our capacity
reosarevok[m]
Yeah as we saw with our summit chocolate table and Indian chips, a lot of us really struggle with moderation
Well, I think the user figured it out... :/ it will indeed duplicate listens if you sync to LastFM and also send listens to LB at the same time

I guess our advice is "definitely don't submit via multiple pathways for the same service/player". My other question would be is will the duplicates be cleaned eventually it timestamps etc are all the same
monkey[m]
As for the original question "Will this sync those, or just from now on?" the answer is yes, but they also found out
Timestamps probably won't be the same, is the gist of it
aerozol[m]1
Ah gotcha. Classic
monkey[m]
I think the existing deduplication should probably already catch items with the same timestamp, but I'm not certain
aerozol[m]1
I'll point them towards kellnerds tool for removing listens within a timeframe, advise to proceed with caution, and leave them to it

Wait wait wait, to embed in your own sites/other sites??
monkey[m]
Yeeep
embed playing-now, pinned track, recent listens, top tracks ? Something like that
(separately, of course)
metadataismydrug
Thank you both for the clarification about the v2 importer!

One of my top wishlist items in terms of mainstreaming lb!! That and a widget for OBS/streaming services. monkey of legend
Playing now and 'top stats' of whatever sort would be awesome! But also, if it's not out of scope, widgets that artists or fan-sites are going to use. E.g. one that just lists an artists discography and let's you click through to them on lb.
Lots of other interesting options if you ever need more... (what artists someone is the top fan of?) but maybe best to not spend too long in case I'm the only one excited about it 🥳
monkey[m]
Heh I'll start with the low-hanging fruit, but those are interesting

Loved artists (like we can do rn for tracks) is a feature I keep meaning to make a ticket for
monkey[m]
That'd be nice
And a good kickstart for recommendations, if you just created an account and haven't added (many) listens yet

Re. the discography widget, a friend has been running a NZ punk history/archive wiki for a decade now. There's lots of stuff that MeB could assist with there, if it was made easy to plug in. Discographies, events, etc. I think there are other sites that would also use that kind of integration - and reach more people who would be invested in filling the MB gaps. Always bugs me when someone codes something custom to integrate with
Discogs (boo)
(Not a priority but sharing why it's on my mind)
Oh I'll share this on MB too, but check out the incredible 10 year anniversary exhibition he ran! Such a cool way to present data together, lots of context with photos + releases + shows sorted by date. This was on the wall circling the gallery
