Lemmy

Does anyone know about the culture of different Lemmy instances?

I saw that a user was banned by moderator on my instance and their comments removed. I don't have a moderator, it's just me, I'm the only user. I thought I accidently fumble fingrred the ban button and restored their comments and appologize. Come to find out that they were banned from their own instance.

I'd like to start a discussion about a potential feature for our platform.

Sorry everyone I know how much you love the attention she gives you, but I've implemented some quick and dirty filtering for private messaging.

Is there a github issue or discussion about implementing pods for lemmy?

I’d like to know if someone has been successfully hosting Lemmy with yunohost because I’m pondering to start doing it but it’s not available on arm so I cannot test it without start paying a vps.

I don't have a Github account after deleting it some time after it was ought by Microsoft. Given the rise of anti-US sentiment and calls to stop using their products, more people leaving Github might be a real occurrence. How can I and others who have left, are leaving, and will leave Github, be able to contribute?

I am not very familiar with the technical workings of lemmy, so if this is a really shitty idea, just tell me.

On Reddit there are very specific and helpful communities, personally I often look up on communities about Adobe softwares. What if I wanted to create specific communities on Lemmy? Ideally I’d creare an *Indesign* community, but do you think it would be better to keep it more general, something like *Graphic design* or *Adobe*, since Lemmy is much smaller then Reddit?

I wrote a few useful utility bots back in the old days when reddit was a thing.

Thanks to @rikudou@lemmings.world's contribution (#28), Lemmy Federate now supports all software types that implements group federation such as PieFed, NodeBB, Guppe 🎉

Hi! Does anyone have a ressource to explain how Lemmy works in terms of the more complicated stuff, as:

Is it just me, or are lots of mods just banning anyone with a dissenting opinion?

By now I've mostly (I think) gotten used to some of Lemmy's quirks, but one caught me a little off guard a moment ago related to the search. Admittedly I was trying to be a little lazy, but I think that's fortuitous as many likely take this approach.

Currently, it is possible to follow both Lemmy users and communities from Mastodon.

I would love to sometimes filter out any and all political posts, I think having this enabled as default on some instances would also be preferred by some users.

(I haven't submitted an official rfc yet, want to see what people think)

Today, I searched DDG for information on Rythmnbox and Jellyfin. For the very first time that I've ever seen it, one of the top results was from Lemmy. Huzzah!

Web interface on Firefox.

There are entire communities full of bad faith actors, spammers, and echo-chamber-enforcing mods. We as individual users downvote them with 0 effect. We can block and hide users/communities/instances but that does nothing for the community as a whole. Ignoring them and "not feeding the trolls" is simply not making them go away. Just try blocking UniversalMonk, we all know they have dozens of accounts with hundreds of downvotes across every comment and post and yet they keep going. Or any of the conservative communities who's total post score is in the red.

i just want to create a community to dump my gaming clips without using too much of lemmy.ml's capacity lol.. Any suggestions?

One thing that I miss from Tildes is the way I can block links/websites from being in my feed.

I am using the official lemmy Android client, is there is a way or a third party client that at least fetch downvotes from .world or any other instance?

Pictures should be expanded by default on the post page because they provide important context for the post, so anyone who comments should have seen it first anyway.

Currently, URLs to posts have this format:

From mastodon to follow an account or a community on lemmy you use the @name@server format and there is no difference between a community name and a user-name

Essentially, I'd like to have pictrs delete all of the images that aren't uploaded by my users, because my storage usage was going through the roof, so I just disabled the proxying of images. Here is my config:

As far as I know this isn't a feature that exists, but I know the protocol should make it fairly easy.

So I know that there is Lemmy redirect and linksheet with which you could technically open Lemmy links in your preferred app, but there has got to be a better way. This should definitely be a feature that gets added since the possibility of your actually finding a post from your own instance on Google(or duckduckgo) is very slim. I can't imagine Lemmy gaining much of a following before flaws like this are ironed out.

What are best lemmy communities?

When viewing different instances, whether to copy a community link to make another instance aware of it & subscribe to it or otherwise, it would be nice to have a switch along the top bar to switch between admin-set light/dark mode themes.

I think I remember this became possible. I'd like to know how to do it and what the effects would be.

Hi! Another question about lemmy development.

I'm not sure if this post should instead be put in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, rather than here; please let me know if this would be better suited there, and/or if it is out of the scope of this community. Also, please let me know if there is a different community, other than where it has already been posted, in which this post would be better suited.

Hi!

Don't , we're just doing some server upgrades.

There is "block instance" under "settings > blocks" but what does it do? I added a few onto the list but it seems does nothing to remove contents links to the instance.

Hello.

Basically title. I can't send anything without compressing it a lot (to like 256 colors).

I feel like there's an easy win to keep up with the fragmentation of discussions without waiting for some implementation of this feature request.

I'm logged in with my account on boost.

Doing some server upgrade testing.

Hello, I'm a community moderator and I noticed that my updates to the community sidebar constantly get cancelled. Is this a known bug?

I apologize if this is not right to post here but im not sure where to go with this one as i havent really found an answer myself.

I'm pleased to announce the release of Echo for Lemmy! Echo is a Lemmy client for iPhone that I've been working on for a while and I'm excited to finally share it with you all.

Rather than communities being hosted by an instance, they should function like hashtags, where each instance hosts posts to that community that originate from their instance, and users viewing the community see the aggregate of all of these. Let me explain.

For admins and moderators, keeping the comment counts including bot comments visible (especially in a moderators' own communities) may be valuable, but not sure if it's all that valuable for ordinary users.

We're testing some beta's for the upcoming release, and it had some performance issues, so I had to downgrade and restore from a backup.

I first became aware of this about 4 months ago.

Watch out for that sub. The mods over there don't seem to be in good faith and remove any content they don't like which isn't direct and blatant hate toward religion. If you want to engage in any serious atheist or religious discussion i suggest you to avoid it.

I've got 500+ posts and don't wanna sift through em. Is there a way for me to search for keywords in my profile only. Or filter communities?

This should be a pretty basic feature, just not having a private message be there anymore. But for some reason that does not work here?

Probably a hot take for everybody who just wants a drop-in replacement for Reddit, but I think a new platform needs to take the opportunity to improve over what's gone before.

So you could subscribe communities to hashtags and have it displays toots and pictures from that hashtag in the Lemmy UI

I looked around and struggled to find out what it does?

@lemmy I have account on mastodon.social (as you can see above). I can read Lemmy and write posts via my Mastodon frontend, but it has very limited functionality (ex. I can't upvote posts or it is comfortable to read long threads). Is there a way to use Lemmy frontend without creating any Lemmy account with my Mastodon server backbend?

Generally, the lens I've come to criticise any/all fediverse projects is how well they foster community building. One reason why I like and "advocate" for the lemmy/threadiverse side of things is precisely because of this and how the centrality of the community/sub/group is a good way of organising social media (IMO).

I guess I'm not the only one that happens to this, I follow communities with the same theme in different instances, it's not unusual then to see the same link sent by the same person in both, not a crosspost, the same link sent separately. ¿Is there any, let's say, correct protocol on how to interact with this? You know, do I vote for both? One positive and the other I ignore? What if I want to comment? Do I make the same comment on both?

instead of

If you are using https://github.com/wereii/lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner please stop and disable it as soon as possible.

Is it maybe planned to be able to set a custom tag for a community instead of one pulled from the url? I reckon there are many communities where this would make more sense.

EDIT: Looked a little deeper/better on GitHub and found this issue, #4865 which is likely the most related issue, and it seems the devs are aware.

I input my password.

So yesterday I was posting up a storm, posts that would've gone down as the best posts of all time! But randomly my home instance reset and the posts and replies I made in the ten minutes before, all got orphaned. They're still there, but replies to them don't get sent to me. Anyway, it's one of those edge cases that no one would likely ever face again, but thought I'd share.

is there a particular third party app that's useful? or should it all be handled from a desktop website

This seems to be the case from what I've seen and from a quick check just now.

Is it possible to make upvotes/downvotes on my own posts (and comments on my posts) visible, while making everyone else's invisible on the Lemmy website? I like making upvotes & downvotes invisible, because it makes it harder for me to be biased on what I upvote or downvote, based on the amount of upvotes/downvotes posts/comments already have from others. But on the other hand, I would still like to see how many upvotes & downvotes my own posts have, and how many upvotes & downvotes the comments below my post have. Thanks.

something that didn't get mentioned in the announcement but I think is nice, the Chat view has been fixed!

In my profile it says my cake day is today (June 13), but it was displaying a cake icon on my comments all day yesterday (June 12).

I'm sure this will get clarified in the release notes for 19.4, and I'm probably annoyingly jumping the gun ... I'm just curious.
