I frequently see removed in a lot of posts and comments. I'm guessing there's some kind of filter at work? I checked my Voyager settings and I don't see that I've blocked any words, is this happening server side?

From context, it looks like the censored words are pretty common, and not especially potent, curse words. Is this really necessary?

Hay guise. What is lemmy.ml rule 1 and how do I see the other rules? They're not in the sidebar.

Noob question, but are any major Lemmy instances blocked by lemmy.ml? I checked the blocklist at https://lemmy.ml/instances, but I can't easily tell how big those instances are, or what they're blocked for. I'm guessing we don't federate with NSFW servers and spammers but are there any large communities I'm not seeing?

Speaking of the absolute abolishment of private property was the communist theorist's mistake. For example any food is produced to become private property. So it nearly seems as if the communist is intent on ending humanity. The theoretical abolishment of private property is within context of abundance, but still. Is this problem the difference between intent of the writer and perception of writing? Does this problem come into being because of the writer's conditions? In any case, context of course clarifies intent is improving the human condition. (Interpretation of these writings are heavily abused to display "evil communism".)

I noticed that I'm not receiving any new posts from Hexbear since last month. Did we defederate or something?

Hello !

As federated, I'm subscribed to communities from other instances than lemmy.ml, for example [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and several other ones...

The common thing is that the federated communities are often pretty out of sync with regards to the original ones on their corresponding instances, and that in the best cases, some times I don't think they've even been syncing for quite a while.

I'm wondering if it's a limitation given lemmy.ml can't keep up, given its amount of users and federation, or if it's something that can be looked at...

Thanks !

With Elon Musk's Nazi Salute and manipulation of twitter, he has more than shown his true side. Many communities have started blocking Twitter links. There are multiple mirrors you can use to show posts without giving traffic and ad money to Musk

xcancel.com, nitter.privacydev.net, nitter.poast.org, lightbrd.com, etc.

Can we do something instance wide here?

Every image in every post is very low resolution. If I switch to my alt account in a different instance, the images are full resolution.

This behaviour started after yesterday's downtime. At least that's when I noticed it.

We might have a bit more downtime this week also, as we're testing for a release.

If I navigate to https://lemmy.ml/c/simplex the page behaves as if I'm not logged in (eg. I see the "login" and "signup" at the top-right link instead of my profile).

I visited other communities (including this one I'm posting on) and they seem fine; hard-refreshing the browser doesn't seem to have any effect, nor does logging out of lemmy and authenticating again.

Can someone try and report if it's a bug or some astral conjunction affecting my PC?

edit: It works now. No idea why.

As I said in a comment in the original thread, IMO:

• this looks bad ... like an admin punishing the transgender community over a personal spat they're having with one of its prominent members.
• probably could have and should be dealt with much better
• and, arguably, is an example of an admin action that is in transgression of the instance rules against bigotry/transphobia

Cross posting here just in case a more "in-house" private conversation is helpful or desirable.

I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/[email protected], the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

They all/mostly seem to be server errors (AFAICT). And I'm pretty sure they started up after the update to 19.5 (from 19.4).

Hi there!

I'm not sure this is the right place for this, but I don't know what place would be better.

Quick background: I made lemmy.ml/c/freecad quite a while ago, as well as a couple of other communities here. I am the only mod. At one point I moved over to slrpnk.net/u/zksmk. I transferred my ownership of these communities to my new slrpnk.net/u/zksmk account and unmodded myself (lemmy.ml/u/zksmk) from these communities. There were no issues.

The communities were sleepy and/or well behaved until now, so I did basically nothing until now. However, considering FreeCAD, the software, just did a long anticipated logo change, I wanted to change the community icon. This is where the issues happened.

The problem: I change the icon on https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected], it goes fine, but after a while, instead of the lemmy.ml/c/freecad icon getting updated with the new one, the opposite happens, and the new icon on https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected] gets rewritten back to the old

So this is generally about stuff that seems to have gone through a some amount of moderation and is generally a point of contention between some users and admins/mods.

For that reason, I'll put it all behind a spoiler tag just so it's clear that I'm not interested in being contentious or re-prosecuting the substantive topic ... but interested in understanding in what actually happened, asking the relevant mods if they're happy to clarify things, and even ask questions about how moderation on these recurrently contentious topics is done on this instance (again, without intending to be substantive about it, but more procedural).

To clarify my personal motivation in this, my experience with fediverse "drama" in the past has been that digging into the details of exactly what happened tends to "air" things out and reveal, at least to me, as is so often the case in things, that most involved were neither saints nor demons and that there's usually a procedural/systems/behavioural lesson to

This means that it is not federated, and only users logged in to lemmy.ml can see it.

Just to give everyone a heads up.

Over the past few days, it seems like things have suddenly gotten slower on lemmy.ml specifically. Loading other instances websites seems to be a lot faster for me. Haven't seen any one else talk about it, so wasn't sure if it's just me

EDIT: Huh, right as I posed this, things seemed to suddenly get faster. Not sure if something was restarted or something like that

Heya, I am trying to create a second account for managing a community of the same name.

Are user application rejections accompanied by an email?
