Okay. Well, if it's fixed, that's all that matters, I guess. I don't understand this desire to downgrade other people's answers into speculation, but it's not like this is the first time it's happened.
Language selection with Lemmy is pretty unintuitive, so others may be interested to know that OP is technically incorrect here. Despite what the UI says, it's actually impossible to deselect 'undetermined'. Whatever frontend you're using might let you, but the backend will just ignore it. I don't use this account much, but I used it here to make a very deliberate decision to send my earlier response using 'undetermined' as the language, so that OP would definitely see it, and the fact that they clearly did demonstrates for itself that what they're suggesting is nonsense.
Using a web browser, go to your account settings. In 'languages' ensure that 'English' is selected. The posts will then be visible to you when you are logged in.
You've made this post in the 'afaraf' language, so you may as well deselect that while you're there if you don't understand it. This of course means that most people here won't see this post, ironically enough.
Also, if folks could stop parroting out the same bullshit 'federation delays' answer to every question, that'd be great. It's not that. It's actually very rarely that (even if you were the very first person to discover that community, which you weren't, it'd only take a refresh to resolve it).
The problem is not feddit.org. You can still create communities there. The problem is that the 'name' field is too long - it's needs to be 20 characters max. I answered this from another account, but now I'm thinking you can't see it because you haven't selected 'English' as a language you understand. If that's the case, then it means problems with Lemmy are stopping people solving other problems with Lemmy, and the whole thing is doomed.
You might need to have the 'show nfsw' setting turned on. Anyway, they look like this:
So the theory that they were downvoted for spamming someone's feed likely has validity.
More abuse of this post for testing PieFed user mentions (sorry if you seeing this). Other direction this time.
Back again, as reply to post: @andrew@pythag.net, @sfc@pythag.net
EDIT: autocomplete was originally messed up, but this shows Mentions as raw and filled in by Lemmy's UI (both are clickable on PieFed, and this edit shouldn't notify anyone again)
Remote comment that doesn't get a Mention until the edit (although it'll have to be to andrew, 'cos I replied with the wrong account).
Edit: @andrew@pythag.net
Cool. Paging you (although you should only get one notification): @andrew@pythag.net
Also: paging @sfc@pythag.net
Neat. Just have to do it the other way now.
I'm guessing that this post is supposed to be a link to a video like this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sg0SmgoSMg4
I screenshotted this from their 'trending' page, which suggests that their content is garbage and their tech is fucked.
Hmmm. Speaking of Fediverse interoperability, platforms other than yours (Pandacap) typically arrange things so that https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net was the domain, and something like https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net/users/lizard-socks was the user, but Pandacap wants to use https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net for both. Combined with the fact that it doesn't seem to support /.well-known/nodeinfo means that no other platform knows what software it's running.
When your actor sends something out, it uses the id https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net/, but when something tries to look that up, it returns a "Person" with a subtly different id of https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net (no trailing slash). So there's the potential to create the following:
https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net/sends something out.- Instance hasn't heard of that, so looks it up, and creates a new user in its database, with the returned ID (
https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net) https://pandacap.azurewebsites.net/sends else something out. Instance looks in it's DB, finds nothing, so looks it up and tries to create it again. The best case is that it meets a DB uniqueness constraint, because the ID it gets back from that lookup does actually exist (so it can use that, but it was a long way around to find it). The worst case - when there's no DB uniqueness constraint -is that a 'new' user is created every time.- Repeat step 3 for every new thing you send.
If every new platform treats the Fediverse as a wheel that needs to be re-invented, then the whole project is doomed.
It's the crawler at lemmyverse that's down - https://data.lemmyverse.net/ shows that it hasn't updated in 11 days
lemmyverse.net looks to be unmaintained and is becoming increasingly less useful
As you may have noticed, the crawler at https://lemmyverse.net isn't picking up anything from instances on versions 0.19.4 or 0.19.5.
The Issue itself is easily fixed, and there's already a PR for it from lemm.ee's admin, but there's been no response from the lemmyverse developer.
Does anyway have any other ways of contacting him?
If this continues (I realise 2 weeks isn't that long), is anyone interested in forking the code and hosting it on a new domain?
Thanks.

Speaking of wildly inaccurate:
Not sure Lemmy gets to throw stones (it'd probably miss).
Not sure where to post this. Sometimes (in ways that are difficult to replicate), I get a JSON response for a reddthat post in my browser instead of an HTML one. It's happened before on mobile (Chrome) and today also desktop (MS Edge), so I was able to make a screenshot:
I'm assuming it's related to 0.19.4, but maybe others have seen this behaviour before the upgrade. Apologies if you're already aware - I had a quick look for other mentions but didn't find any.
Sorry. Maybe I used the wrong term. I meant to say it's not part of the CommonMark spec (as supported by Lemmy) - like spoilers, there's identifiers that have gained popularity, but they're still not properly official. I did do a quick web-search before I made that comment, which suggested there are some sites that use a single tilde for strikethrough.
I didn't intend any criticism of your post - I was just cheekily using it to have a tangential ding at notions of Fediverse interoperability.
With apologies for being off-topic ...
Lemmy: we're a Fediverse app, so can communicate with lots of other ones!
Also Lemmy: here's some non-standardised Markdown, with no indication that it is Markdown, or which variant of strikethrough we support, and a 'mediaType' of 'text/html'
Quick video demonstrating that lemmy.world sends every activity out twice
I realise this is a known issue and that lemmy.world isn't the only instance that does this. Also, I'm aware that there are other things affecting federation. But I'm seeing some things not federate, and can't help thinking that things would be going smoother if all the output from the biggest lemmy instance wasn't 50% spam.
Hopefully this doesn't seem like I'm shit-stirring, or trying to make the Issue I'm interested in more important than other Issues. It's something I mention occasionally, but it might be a bit abstract if you're not the admin of another instance.
The red terminal is a tail -f of the nginx log on my server. The green terminal is outputting some details from the ActivityPub JSON containing the Announce. You should be able to see the correlation between the lines in the nginx log, and lines from the activity, and that everything is duplicated.

The 'memes' community is missing an outbox
For anyone unaware, a community's outbox typically contains the last 50 or so Post Announcements - it is retrieved when you are the first person to find a community on a remote instance. It also seems to be fetched whenever an community on a remote instance realizes it's out of sync with the community on its host instance.
Compare:
Bash
curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/memes | jq -r .outbox

Introducing It's Like Poetry March! (A Monthly Theme)
Hello again,
February's finally over, so 4 Frame memes are old news. Now, for March, memes with rhymes in them are what's required to get Featured in the Community.
This one will be stickied until a new meme with (ideally terrible) rhymes in and [ILPM] somewhere in the title is submitted, and then the new post will be stickied instead (it's a manual affair atm, so it won't be instant)
Thanks!
Guess I'll create a new meme for the 4 Frame February theme

Image transcription: 4 panel comic by War and Peas: 1. two pharaohs from ancient egypt are standing in front of a pyramid whose construction is nearing completion. One says to the other, "You've outdone yourself this time, Babuthep." 2. he continues, "You'll be remembered for this throughout history!" 3. "It's a testament to human ingenuity." 4. time jump to the present day. At an alien conference, someone speaks to an audience, "It was aliens!"

Introducing 4 Frame February! (A monthly theme)
Hello,
We've been sporadically doing Wednesday themes, but it never gave anyone much time to create / repost something, and before I knew it, it would be Wednesday again.
So the idea is to have a theme for the month, which you can adhere to or not. But if you do, and the title has [4FF] in it somewhere, the previous themed post (which is currently this one) will be un-stickied, and your post will be the new one that is "Featured in the Community" as a reminder of the theme.
I'll do it manually for a bit, until I have enough data to enable the automod to do it.
Thanks.
Hi. Please can you help me unsubscribe from lemmy.ml's ActivityPub trafffic?
I followed some popular communities from a Mastodon server ages ago, and then unsubscribed when I was satisfied that it was working.
However, lemmy seems to have some problem with the way Mastodon sends an 'Undo/Follow', so it's still been sending traffic ever since. Recreating it on a lemmy server I booted, journalctl shows this error:
undefined

Wednesday's Theme: The Star Wars Expanded Universe
Hello,
For this Wednesday's theme, please delve into the murky depths of Star War's Expanded Universe: the books, comics and video games etc whose stories have been cast aside in favour of whatever it is we have now.
Be quick though, before you know it, Dave Filoni will have plundered the same sources, and the thing you may have dismissed as ridiculous will have it's own 6-part series on D+.
Thanks.
