IP block? in c/main@feddit.org

That's weird, considering the instance is hosted in Germany

As you'll note, I AM using a SJW account. That does not prevent me from being impacted. Images are not copied to federated servers. Feddit.org is the default image host for their users, but this means that any user in Asia is unable to view the images they upload. This leads to significant parts of the feed showing 'failed to load image' placeholders.

I also question the wisdom of a decision that makes it impossible to host any instance in Asia. Are we just preemptively deciding Asians should never be allowed to host an instance? Not to mention screwing over the existing instances hosted in Asia.

I understand the stated reasoning behind the decision, but I'm here to inform the admins that this is having unintended (I hope) side effects that will impact the entire fediverse.

It's not about subscribing to communities, though. Any pictures hosted on their servers will fail to load, leading to a negative experience of lemmy for anybody in the affected region. They're basically impacting how 30% of the world experiences lemmy, for the worse.

My IPs have no relation to the UK though.

Good to know it's not just my random IP. What's your general location? I added mine to OP

Hi, I am able to access feddit.org from my wifi, but connecting via my mobile data fails. Is feddit.org doing geoblocking or blocking certain IP ranges? It's negatively impacting the lemmy experience for me hugely, as a lot of images in my feed do not load, and I imagine it's affecting others as well.

Last attempt was a scheduled post, using the scheduler hosted at lemmings.world. Posting to !Norway@sopuli.xyz, from this account on SJW. Fields used were title, url, schedule, language, time.

I think at this point we've figured out there should be certain limits on free speech. Hate speech, etc should not be given a right to exist.

Lemmy schedule has been throwing me error 500s the last couple of times I tried using it. Anybody else having issues with it?

Is there a way to preload images? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi! Testing the app out. Is there a way to preload images? I've noticed that when scrolling, images frequently load halfway when they're halfway through the page, moving everything below them. I find this extremely annoying. Is there a way to preload images before I've scrolled them onto the screen?
