This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole...
A shroom community was removed from lemmy.world as it was considered “illegal” content by the admins. The logic behind this is boggling, to say the least....
The entire !homeimprovement community vanished overnight. Is all that data lost? Are there archives anywhere? Please restore the backups....
There was a very recent post requesting a defederation with lemmygrad.ml....
I created an instance, and was thinking it as a normal self-hosted server where I can do whatever I want with no worries, and learned in a bad way that it’s on a federation and we still have to follow some rules....
@JPthePirate has created their account 2 months ago (like many redditfugees) and created 40+ communities, only to never log back in. The communities are for the most part empty and completely unmoderated - and a lot of them are “brand names” like the names of videogame studios (!bethesda, !blizzard, !devolverdigital,...
I know you all are dealing with DDoS and how that goes. I run DDoS mitigation for some juicy targets and do a lot of on-call response to handle those issues, so believe me when I say I know what you are dealing with....
lemmy.world/u/[email protected]...
I’m a mod of !leftism, and the last resort preemptive defederation from hexbear has me concerned. As a mod, what are the specific rules that I need to know about to make sure our community fits the guidelines of LemmyWorld? We aren’t a huge community and there aren’t a huge number of posts every day, but I want to see this...
Hello, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is anyone else being massively downvoted on every comment? I noticed this started happening after the DDOS attacks on lemmy.world. If you check my profile, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Almost as soon as I post a comment it’s at -10, etc....
What is the protocol for reporting hate communities? Contact admins, email someone etc?...
It seems like most times I go to my .world account, I get the bad gateway error. Is there a fix for this?
What’s up with the super old posts in the hot feed? They always show up near the top in strange clusters, too. I’ll be scrolling through, seeing posts from 5 min to an hour old, then suddenly 10 posts in a row from 2 years ago, then back to seeing all posts from 5 minutes ago. I know I can sort by top day or whatever, but it...
My lemmy.world front page defaults to “subscribed > hot,” which should give me a mix of trending content from my subscribed communities....
Hi again, Mikey from lemmynsfw.com here again. So every day we get several reports from lemmy.world users about posts not being tagged NSFW when they are actually tagged NSFW....
When using the web browser to draft a Lemmy post/comment that contains a direct image upload, the instance creates a self-hosted URL that publicly shows that image prior to the user deciding to publish that post/comment. This creates a liability in several ways:...
@comcreator has created 80+ communities here, most of which are empty save for a “Looking for moderators” post. Some have 0-3 posts which are nearly all from the creator and a couple have some regular user activity....
I would like to filter out all the porn posts without blocking all of NSFW posts. I like porn as much as the next guy, but every other post I see is porn. I’ve been blocking the individual communities, but that doesn’t stop anything. Is there specific keywords to use or is it just all NSFW or no NSFW?
I accidentally blocked a user while I was on his profile page, but I can’t unblock him. Despite that user being blocked right now, the “Block user” button remains active and with its original function.
So I still get “email not verified” error in Liftoff and I’m unable to log in in Jerboa or wefwef. Are all the new users supposed to not access lemmy.world on smartphones? I even tried to sub communities here with an account from another instance, but Liftoff just won’t let me for some reason so I gave up.
tl;dr: This concerns the account I’m writing this from. I logged in on my PC (Windows 10, Vivaldi browser) with “Password reset” a few days ago and I stay logged in, but I cannot log in through apps or on mobile, Liftoff says my email is not verified....
I’m fairly new here and I’d like to use it more, but, there are a variety of general categories of communities that I’d like to never see. So instead of blocking them 1 by 1 as they pop up I’d like to have the ability to say “Block all communities that are sports related” for instance....
I banned someone from a community I made for breaking a rule and being excessively rude, then they DM’d me and after a report their account got banned and I think that they might’ve made an alternative account and have been downvoting/disliking all of my posts. What can I do to stop/fix this, is there a way for me to see...
In the past two weeks, the site has been very unstable, sometimes for one second a page would load and the next it wouldn’t load at all. The status of lemmy.world would fluctuate a lot on lemmy-status.org, and there have times where the site has been down for hours.
It’d be nice if the admins got everyone’s input on these sorts of things. Admins making decisions without thought to our opinions is what drove us here from reddit. I’m not going to lose sleep over hexbear defederation in particular, but it’s a disconcerting precedent....
