lemmy_support

Hey! I was about to make a feature request on github for this but I thought having a discussion first would be helpful....

There is a thread in another community regarding some controversies happening in women’s chess. I posted to that thread, recommending a book written by WGM Jennifer Shahade who is a multi-time US women’s chess champion. I also linked to a review of the book, the url of which contained the book title....

Why is the lemmy hot sort seemingly so bad? After the first couple of posts it turns into new posts with no votes, sometimes the same new post multiple times back to back to different communities, and sometimes posts with negative points. I came across a series of posts today with 1 upvote (poster) and 6 downvotes. I don’t get...

This is just my basic perspective as a daily user since June 9th....

Is this a known issue? If you type in https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/ef8ffb51-fe76-449c-89ae-5d585b244abf.png somewhere it will be replaced by https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/3363f387-4e3f-40c2-9141-88a6a1598387.png...

I also have an account on another instance. The sole admin hasn’t been heard of for three weeks. There don’t seem to have been any mod actions for a month and the instance hasn’t been updated to the latest version....

The problem:...

Currently using Voyager as my main app, was just wondering if there was a way to group communities so that I can just scroll through one group at a time. For example, I would have a group just for stock market related communities or a group just for gaming communities. Does this feature exist?

EDIT: I was able to solve this by going into the “change password” screen, right-clicking the “old password” field, clicking “inspect”, and changing maxlength=“60” minlength=“10” to maxlength=“60” minlength=“1”, thanks to the tip provided by Dandroid in the comments....

ETA for fuck’s sake, even this post had to be censored down to go through. It took about 15 attempts....

I made the huge mistake of upgrading on the same day of the new release. I had copied my inventory folder to a new pull of lemmy-ansible, checked out 1.3.0, and ran it with no errors. But refreshing the took a very long time to load. The closest issue I found was at github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4244 but that’s a deep dive...

I banned a subscriber from one of my communities today for repeatedly breaking the rules. I also blocked them because I find them aggressive and argumentative and I’m not here for that personally. But what happens when their ban from the community ends and they decide to post in the community again? Will I still see their...

I’m considering migrating away from Lemmy.world on account of downtime and the recent blocking of piracy communities. However, I am quite fond of Lemmy.world’s other choices in defederation, e.g. nazi nonsense and CSAM....

Apart from Cloudflare being an access restricted walled garden that harms interoperability, I really do not want my content on CF & I do not want CF content reaching me. This bug is one of many issues likely caused by Cloudflare:...

Ive been hosting a lemmy Instance for about 2 months and it grew to about 50 gigs. A lot of that storage seems to come from image cache. Whats the best way to only delete cache and keep my uploaded images?

I- How to create a lemmy community?...

Just asking as I did exactly that and it kind of seems like it works? I would have thought there would have been some kind of checksum/key etc…...

I run a Lemmy instance at lemmy.sedimentarymountains.com. It has been working for some time. 6 days ago it stopped getting updates from communities it was federated with. If I view all posts by active there is nothing newer than 6 days old. I checked disk space on the server, there is plenty. I don’t appear to be running out...

I am trying to figure out how people can subscribe to a Lemmy community or Lemmy thread?...

It’s strange and unintuitive that my own submitted posts are hidden with this basic feature. Given the slow pace on some communities as Lemmy grows, it gets really repetitive without the ability to filter out read posts. On the other side though, the ability to review my posts and check back on them seems pretty basic as a...

Hey all. as lemmy world has grown, they have had to make some decisions about their legal protection (defederating some piracy communities), which I cannot and will not support....

For some reason on my self hosted lemmy instance, I’ve managed to accumulate about 50GB worth of data inside my pictrs docker volume. I’m the only person on my instance and I’ve never uploaded any photos to my server other than my profile photo, profile banner, and site logo. Shouldn’t all photos be hosted on other...

Is there an easy way to migrate from one instance to another? I’d love to be able to move my subscriptions and profile settings at the very least.
