lemmy

I don’t mean the recent selling API rights at absurd costs but when they went from open sourcish to closed.

Because of the time it takes for mods to moderate content on Lemmy, the"new" sort’s been prone to abuse....

In case this is an app issue, i’m on eternity. Unlikely to be an instance issue i’ve noticed this several times on my alt too.

On Reddit, when a comment is removed or deleted, it still shows up in the comment count. You will see an interesting post with comments, but when you open it you’ll see that it’s actually empty. This is probably done for shadowban reasons, like the vote fuzzing in the other post?...

I know there’s a purge function, but i had a problem currently with people posting porn picture in my instance(which is not allowed), then later edit out the link so i couldn’t get the picture purged as well. Is there a way to do it?

I’m getting tired of every time I load a post that it defaults to sorting comments by Hot, and I prefer sorting by Top, so I have to load each post I read twice. There’s only a setting to default sort posts this way, not comments in posts.

What a hell is going on? I expect to see everything inside backticks exactly as I typed, but something happens to ‘’>" and “...

Lemmy is the only website that causes my CPU fan to ramp up, other than games or heavy 3D stuff. Why is that?...

Hello. I’m considering hosting a 1-person instance for my personal use. I’m trying to run on my own hardware, and I have used *nix for quite a long time and maintaining it wouldn’t be much of a problem. However, I’m not quite sure what kind of hardware should I run it on....

I’d like to host lemmy on my LAN and I’d be the only user, no registration open. I would subscribe to communities on other instances and my instance would get the posts and comments. would that work? I don’t need it to be accessible from the internet.

What is your email used for when signing up to Lemmy? Is it just for password reset?

I’m running a small Lemmy server using the Ansible setup modified to our needs. Now, we do not post that many (if any) images, but I’m also running an Akkoma server with Cloudflare R2 setup for images, and I was wondering is there an easy way to just set the Lemmy server to use this bucket? Would be better than to just keep...

I can see downvotes on comments, but on posts there’s only a total score. Can you please make the UI consistent by either giving posts both up and down votes visibility, which would be my preferred course of action, or make comments have only a total value shown like posts? It’s a pet peeve of mine, I mainly just want to see...

I mostly use Lemmy on mobile but I sometimes browse it with my desktop browser....

I was wondering whether that could cause issues for the limited servers available, like when the mass migration from reddit happened....

I am experiencing weird behavior on both lemmy.ml and lemmy.ca where refreshing, or closing and reopening my browser, will cause me to be logged out. This seems to be an issue with my browser, Firefox 102.13 on Debian Bookworm, but it does not happen with any other sites with logins. I have tried clearing cookies and site data...

I used to use the instances view in Liftoff for this, since that client has a really handy “View this on another instance” feature for both communities and posts, but lately that view as well as Liftoff in general has had some pretty serious stability issues for me, so here’s the question:...

My previous account was on compuverse.uk, tho since about 1 week I cannot access the instance at all. I suppose either the hosting service destroyed it. The maintainer disappeared Or there are bigger issues about cloudflare routing or server issues....

I recently encountered a situation where I tried to downvote a post from an instance that didn’t seem to have downvotes enabled. However, my vote didn’t affect the score, which made me question why the downvote button was even displayed in the first place. It felt like it was just baiting me into thinking I could downvote....

Maybe I’m misunderstanding how the Show Context link is meant to work, but I would think when you click Show Context, it should show the comment being replied to so you can see the…Well, context....

tl;dr: to reduce federation api calls and to reduce issues with defederation, maybe some instances should only be for communities with no user signups, and some instances should be only for user signups with no communities (you would have to make a post or PM to request the admin to make a community for you)...

I’m using my own instance. Is there a way to block the posts coming from other instances that are below a certain threshold? For example -3 upvotes. I don’t need to see them I trust the moderators of other instances to handle their own posts responsibly. As it is today half my Homescreen is full of -40 voted posts that might...

About 10 months ago I posted this thread saying that it would be useful for the fediverse to consider post once, share everywhere paradigms: lemmy.ml/post/641509...
