Today, I tried (again) to install lemmy on my linux server. I tried in the past but the documentation was so lacking that I only encountered errors after errors just following exactly every command....
How does Lemmy deal with deletion requests for banned accounts? There does not appear to be any built in functionality to make this possible which makes compliance with the law more difficult.
Whenever I make a post with a link to a gif as the URL, the post on clients like Sync, Liftoff, and Photon all actually show the .gif file in the post so it will play correctly. Whenever I view the post on lemmy-ui (the basic UI) though, sometimes it has some .webm file that was created on the original instance, and to actually...
Can a admin delete every community and its posts from an instance on its end? For example, if a instance that was federated to your instance goes offline forever and is not going back online, can the admin delete all communities and posts from that instance that is federated to your instance?
There is an “offgrid” community on slrpnk.net. I would like to interact with that community from waveform.social. How can I create that community on waveform.social as a federated community, not as a separate new one?
I’ve noticed that some users block other users and communities when they see several posts appear multiple time in the feed. It kinda sucks, because I x-post to 3 communities on 3 different instances to have some more reach and redundancy. Unfortunately it means that users otherwise interested in my content filter me or my...
There are two dead lemmy.ml communities I would like to request. What would be the process in gaining control of the communities? I do have a lemmy.ml account that I occassionally log into if that helps.
Censorship is absolutely rampant on Lemmy. I don’t post particularly controversial stuff, but I am an active commenter and I’ve noticed that mods will just wipe my comments or those of others on a whim. I think this is a huge issue and one of the biggest downsides about switching from reddit. I very rarely had comments...
I made the mistake of trying to use 2FA for the lemmy.ml account. Please can the lemmy.ml admin contact me via email to arrange a fix. I’m guessing you’ll have to turn it off. I’ve tried just doing a password reset but it didn’t turn off the 2FA so there is no way to recovery from this....
I’m an admin in our own instance (mujico.org), I have seen some posts that need the NSFW tag but I can’t find a way to put that tag, There are some posts that are not NSFW and I would like to remove that, that’s it.
I am signed in as an admin user of my instance. A different, non-admin user has created a community on my instance. I can’t edit this community’s details. If I create a post in this community, I can’t use the … menu to assign myself moderator of this community....
I made an account to try out the emailing system, now the account name is used without a verified account. I would like to remove those users to free up the names
So I realized that lemmygrad must be banned in beehaw’s instance list, but I can still see beehaw user comments in lemmy.ml communities, if I respond to them can they see my comment?
So, I run my own instance (dandroid.app), and as of about 10 days ago, all outgoing federation stopped working. Incoming federation still seems to work fine. I’m not sure exactly what changed. It was around the time that I set up pihole on my network, but I have since shut down pihole and federation has not resumed. I have...
