Db indexes were corrupted preventing lemmy from updating the post rankings because it couldn't reference a post to update it's data correctly. This has been fixed.

Sorry for the extended issue and thanks for still using the site!

I think I've resolved the issue with different post sorting options stagnating, they should be updating properly now, please let me know under this post if you see any other related issues.

The re-import process is done and old images should be back!

Once again we appreciate everyone taking this issue in stride and continuing to use the site while we dealt with this!

Please let me know if you have any more issues with images.

the ones I've seen look something like this:

Our latest policy changes require all users to verify their accounts. It appears your verification is still incomplete.

Please confirm your account at the link below:

Failure to do so may result in restricted access. The process is simple and fast.

Thank you for your cooperation, Mastodon Support Team

Update 1: This is an issue with cloudflare, we are having issues with the account that hosts the site, we are contacting cloudflare support about the issue.

Update 2: we have switched s3 providers and images should be working again, older images may be missing, we will have to do a merge with the old s3 storage backup into the new provider, we plan to do this soon, but all new images will work as expected, sorry for the issues and thanks for your patience and kindness while we were working on the fix

Update 3: we have created a new ticket with cloudflare support with more information so that hopefully they take this issue more seriously.

For those experiencing issues uploading pictures, that is a separate issue we were not aware of until yesterday, that should be fixed now

EDIT: Federation issues:

It seems like federation is working now and the issues with photo uploading and admin settings getting 500 errors was also causing federation issues. Some posts were, to my understanding, in a federation window that has passed so the data is no longer there to be federated to our instance but future posts should federate properly. Please let me know if you see any other more recent posts that aren’t federating properly.

Update 4: We finally got access to our cloudflare r2 bucket! we are currently re-importing the old images, this will take some time though, potentially a few days. We appreciate everyone taking this issue in stride and continuing to use the site while we dealt with this! Everything should (hopefully) all be restore in a few days!

As this community grows automod will be more and more important. We've already seen some OC creators stop posting because of rude comments. This along with it's general usefulness has pushed us to implement an automod solution.

We have implemented basedcount's lemmy-automoderator

It has the capability to moderate:

• comments
• posts
• and make custom ! comment commands

The automod user is @automod@lemmynsfw.com

How to add automod:

• as you'll see later in the wiki, the automod has to be manually set as a moderator of your community

• Message me and I'll login and comment on a post in your community.

Edit: I've added automod to just about every community I could find. If your community doesn't have automod, or you make a new one, please message me and I'll add automod to your mod team

• Once the comment is made, appoint automod as mod, and Read the wiki to learn how to add rules to your community.
