Lemmy Support

When not logged in, some instances have “all” by default while others have “local”.

Is there a config line to choose it?

I chose mine hurriedly and I'm not a fan

This could also help minimize effect of "Nicole the fediverse chick".

See the screenshot; some links but not all show that gray area with the link name. This is in the Connect app but I can't find a setting for that - it just started happening one day in the last week or so.

Is there a way to fix this? Is it a Connect issue, a Lemmy issue, or unique to Discuss?

Thanks.

Probably a stupid question but I tried app and desktop can't work it out.

Does anyone know a community besides /r/translator where I can make translation requests?

I have communities, so is it possible to give someone else ownership and be a normal mod or even simply not being one? (Other than account purge)

i updated my email address in my efforts to de-google myself and i got the email asking to confirm my new email address; but when i do it it just hangs.

how can i find out if my new email address took?

It's not listed in the community info

Newb here. In my main feed, I see some posts over and over again. I see a post, click "Next" and there it is again. And again on the next page, and a couple of others I've already seen too. And again on the next page. (Sometimes they are cross-posts to a different /c, but mostly not.)

It's annoying having to wade through post after post I've already seen.

What I've tried so far:

• Set main feed to "New" rather than "Active" etc.
• "Hide this post" when I see it for the third or fourth time

Are there other ways?

My instance (frozeninferno.xyz) seems not to be federating properly with mander.xyz.

Looking at https://lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz/c/herpetology@mander.xyz it appears that the newest posts are from 4 months ago, however, looking at https://mander.xyz/c/herpetology there have been some more recent than that.

What can I do to fix this? And how can I check if federation is working properly with other instances?

Thanks.

Anyone else get the “please wait a few minutes before trying to import or export settings again” error?

It worked importing the same file to another account, but not this particular one. It gave me the error yesterday, so I gave up and went to sleep. Today it’s saying the same thing. I was thinking maybe the file size is too big? But it’s only 21 kb. =
If nothing else, I’ll keep trying again at a later time. It’s not urgent.

UPDATE: Solved! I guess just try until you succeed. Might take a few days

Is there some kind of rate limiting trick to mod report federation and LW? I have HackingNe.ws, but it seems like only reports generated from LW do not federate, not sure how to make the two instances like each other - comments/posts seem to federate properly.

Reports from other instances work fine btw, just LW reports. For example I created L3stest@sh.itjust.works - I am able to report fine between instances (account on SJW can report from there to HN or HN to SJW just fine). But I also mod LW/c/Technology, and reports to LW/c/Technology from HN works fine but on my instance it does not show reports to that community from other instances. I do not see receiving the reports in my logs that I can tell, nor do I see them visually on my instance.

Someone I talked to who had a similar issue mentioned LW rate limiting causing the same issue for them, is that what's going on?

Open to creating a bug report with Lemmy, but since it seems instance specific I figured I'd ask here first.

Feel free to DM me if needed, thanks

I am using Lemmy as the official community for my ArcaneChat project (https://lemmy.ml/c/ArcaneChat) I do announcements there when there is a new release sharing "what's new?" etc., this gets federated to mastodon/fediverse but when people reply to the post from mastodon the comments doesn't show up in the community (see https://lemmy.ml/post/27324077), is this normal? I am doing something wrong?

thanks in advance!

Some times my posts bring a lot of comments which generate a lot of comments making me unable to read the rest of the comments notifications.

When I was using Reddit, when this happens, I would turn off notifications for the viral post. Is there is a function like this on Lemmy?

I’ve posted things in the past with no issues to several lemmy groups from my sharkey account.

But for the last two days, none of them seem to go through anymore to any of the groups.

Could there be a reason for this?

Was looking at my profile and thought it would be fun to see how many upvotes I've received compared to downvotes. Can this be done?

Sorry I did google... it seems I can't upload them, so other than a link how can I share them?

Another reddit.world community got mad at me for saying "death to US" and now I'm banned. That's fine! But why can't I block them now? I am forced to see their posts every time I go to /all and can't comment or vote, so am effectively forced to view content without any ability to interact.

I don't want to see their posts and should be able to block them from my /all feed

Here look! When I'm not banned there's a clear option to block the community:

But after being banned I now can't block the community, I'm forced to keep seeing it in my feed!

SOLVED: From the user settings page there is a tab for Blocks next to the tab for Settings, and you can manually search for the community you wish to block in a search bar. That worked, even if the UI on the community page was messed up by the block message.

What is going on with Hexbear federation? I can still only see Hexbear posts from before the domain kerfluffle. Is lemmy.ml no longer federated with Hexbear?
