Either we need to require members to use SDF emails to sign up or manage their Lemmy account login from the Maint console. Either way we need to limit it to Members of SDF who validated their accounts or shit like what's been happening will continue to happen.

I know that it would make this place less open for people but I think this would go a long way towards making the community more secure against these kinds of attacks.

One possible compromise would be that if we wanted a more open Lemmy instance, to create another one without Member restrictions on a different SDF domain i.e. freeshell.org. Though personally I'm not a fan of that idea at all since unmanned instances tend to gather spam or become derelict. It's much better to just have member-only instances and to encourage people to become SDF members with the $1 or €5 charge for validation.

If we're being brigaded (that the correct term?) doing so may be less work/stress than waiting to get a hold of someone. Can Lemmy do such a thing? We do have precedent for this with toobnix.

In addition, @SDF if your plate is full I'm sure many of us, myself included, would be happy to help manage the instance.

For example, I created this post with this image hosted on lemmy.sdf.org as URL. The post never made it to ![email protected].

However, the same post with the same image hosted on pixelfed.sdf.org made it just fine.

This is just one example. I've made at least a dozen such posts and each time this happens without fail - unless the URL is something other than a lemmy.sdf.org-hosted image.

Not sure where to report this...

I posted this post on 3D [email protected] and cross-posted it to [email protected], and apparently it made it to neither.

For the lemmy.world community, I'm not really surprised. I simply can't create any post on any lemmy.world community from SDF. None of my posts ever shows up there for some reason. But I'm more surprised that it doesn't show up on lemmy.ml: usually I have zero problems with that instance.

So I'm wondering if there's a problem with federation or if it has something to do with the large number of photos in my post.

Anybody knows?

wtf is this trying to say

Are we having federation issues again? Feels like we are.

This did not make it here.

Anyone else notice that lemmy.world federation seems to be broken? All my communities with them (and probably more instances) appear to be devoid of activity.

:(
