funner fact: there have been ~815.000 posts since Tuftpostbot started posting here 4 months ago.

anyway here's the actual one millionth post

the question now is: what was the 999999th post. what was the 696969th post. what was the 69420th post? we can't just type the id in the name because both a username and title are required, so this one's for the devs I guess

ok ok ok ok ok ok ok https://cohost.org/api/v1/project_post/1000000 i found this, but that doesnt really give a good way to get the actual post url

but we can do https://cohost.org/mintexists/post/compose/?shareOf=1000000 (with ur username there not mine) and get a post composer which then lets us link to the post itself!

in reply to @mintexists's post:

oh nice I don't think I'dve (I'dve?) thought of using share to get to the actual post

I think the last part of the url is the post id and the first words (groups of adjacent letters and numbers) all joined with dashes until it reaches 28 characters or the end of the post

so for 999999, `<div style="display: none;"> gets turned into 999999-div-style-display-non

for empty posts it gives you <post id>-empty

hmm that’s a good question. How many requests total do u plan on making? I’d default to like 2-5 seconds, but I’d change that if I was making a larger number of requests that would make it take days or something

I'd like to do statistics on posts (anonymized ofc) so the first couple thousand I'll be sampling each, after user count picks up, every 50-100 posts or so, then after twitter exodus, sample a few every 1000-5000 posts

time frame: dunno, sampling all 1M posts at 2s delay would take 3.5weeks but i really don't want 1M data points for obvious reasons, so let's say "10 - 25k total", over the course of multiple days ofc?
