Meta (lemmy.one)

Hello everyone,

Sorry if I may sound rude, but I'm trying to see if this instance is still actively managed.

I know a few weeks ago I asked about the update to 0.19.3, and it happened shortly after, so I guess Jonah still keeps an eye on here.

My questions are:

1. Is there a backup admin in addition to Jonah?
2. All of the moderators of [email protected] besides Jonah haven't been active for several months, is the community still moderated?

For the context, due to some issues with the lemmy.ml moderations practices (https://lemmy.one/post/15387031), some people were looking for an alternative to [email protected].

[email protected] seems like a nice option, but raised also the questions above.

Thank you again.

Scroll through Local here and you will see. Communities and users that are local to this Lemmy.one have a black box for a photo. Viewing the profile/community from another instance displays the black box as well. It seems that users who have not set a custom profile picture just have a default Lemmy lemur icon, and that displays just fine.

If I try to upload a new profile photo, I get the following error:

Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Connection refused (os error 111)

Hello,

Basically, the question is in the title. Just curious as lemmy.one is the second biggest instance still on 19.2: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy?version=0.19.2

Hey one-lemmings! I'm looking for a home instance for a sister community to [email protected]. According to fedipact.veganism.social, you are federated to threads.net and that's what I'm looking for.

The goal of this community is to be place where you can try to post thing across the different software of the fediverse. Posts in all languages will be accepted but the main language would be french as it is the one in which I can moderate the most confidently.

Is this the right place to open my community? And is there other rules I should be aware of?

Thank you

I don't know if it's instance wide or if each instance I've interacted with has this set. However I seem unable to downvote posts and comments.

lemmy.one was a great start for me into the fediverse, but the time has come to move on. It's become apparent to me that the (singular) admin just isn't there, and this instance has been dead for almost a week now due to the outgoing federation bug that needs a second upgrade to repair.

I know Jonah has a lot on his plate, and it's the holidays after all so I don't blame him... but this has happened a few times now. unless he's going to bring new people on to share the technical admin load and get us more prompt attention, I'm jumping to dbzer0 which has significantly more active technical administration and more communities that I'm interested in.

Peace out y'all!

So there seems to a bug in version 0.19 where outgoing federation fails and so new content is not federated out to other instances. Incoming federation works fine and the bug itself is not affecting all instances on 0.19 but it seems lemmy.one is affected. There is a fix already published with 0.19.1

@[email protected] could you please look into it.

It seems my comments no longer federate to lemmy.world. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same.

I am not banned from the instance or it's communities to the best of my knowledge- I've checked the modlogs from their instance directly and I do not appear. But every comment I've made since about 8pm UTC on Monday (the last known federated comment) has not federated. Just compare my user account's activities between the two instances: https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected] https://lemmy.one/u/empireOfLove

They are still on 0.18.5 so is this a potential version mismatch bug between 0.19.0 and older instances? Content from their side is clearly still federating to us, as I see recent posts and try to interact with them, however nothing from our side seems to be federating to them.

So is lemmy.one staying federated with Threads?

Lemmy.one is already a few versions behind, and this is a HUGE release with a lot of often requested features (like per-user instance blocking!!) that i think we all need. Lemmy.ml has run release candidates of it for a few weeks now so I think they've gotten stability proven.

Is @[email protected] even here anymore? Would it be too much to bother him for an update sometime soon?

We are still on 0.18.3, whereas lemmy.world is 0.18.5 (released at the end of September).

Jonah's account does not seem to be active either. Is it time to jump to another instance?

I’m not from Lemmy.one, but I was wondering what you think of not having downvotes. Do you like having the ability to downvote, or not being able to downvote and why?

I've been working on a simple opt-in solution, primarily for Lemmy end users like me (but also helpful for admins), to easily check the status/health of their favourite instance.

🌎 lemmy-meter.info

You can find the details of the implementation in lemmy-meter github repo.

❓ @admins: would you be interested in adding your instance to lemmy-meter?

You don't need to do anything except confirming - I'll handle the rest. It should only take a few minutes for your instance to show up in lemmy-meter.

Out of the box it will send only 4 HTTP GET requests per minute to your instance. However that is totally configurable if it sounds too much or too little.

Seeing some content from lemmy.world from ~1-2h ago. I checked the instance list on .world and it seems like we're in the federated list. Anyone else seeing content as usual again?

According to https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world > Reached out through Lemmy and Mastodon. No reply from the admin. Last activity from the admin was 2 months ago. Instance is also running an older version of Lemmy.

I assume they are defederating as a precaution, but as the largest instance they have essentially cut us off from a lot of content.

@[email protected] are you still around and are you able to reply to them please?

Ever since the server got restored it seems like all of my new posts and comments (on other instances) are "invisible".

Is anyone having the same issue?

EDIT: It seems like the old technique of unsubscribing/subscribing to the remote community you want to interact with works, although at the moment Lemmy.World reacts faster compared to Lemmy.ml .

As you reading are undoubtedly aware now, the Lemmy.one instance experienced a massive failure this weekend. Unfortunately the data was not in a recoverable state, so the server was restored from a July 26th backup, and data after that time is likely lost.

Since this occurred while I was out of town, I haven't had the time to collect all the details of what happened, so I will have to post more information at a later time.

Tried logging in from Connect, Jerboa, and PC browser with no luck today. They all connected to lemmy.world just fine though. Is there any external site to notify when the instance is down?

I’m not a robot obviously. It’s just copy+paste from various means to get back in, but it is highly annoying.

I've noticed long loading times and issues the past 2 days

Say I am looking for fellows who use FreeDOS. I open the "Comunities" tab(?) at the top of the page, right next to "Lemmy.one" and search - But these are only the communities that Lemmy.one knows about, right?

Thanks, everyone - I am gonna call this one solved.

Is it not possible to see Kbin posts while browsing on Lemmy? I noticed this when I found the Twice community, which is a Kbin magazine. I only see my posts when on Lemmy, but when I go to kbin.social, I see mine plus all of their posts.

I'm writing this post to inform you all that I have decided to defederate from the exploding-heads[.]com instance.

After carefully reviewing the instance, reported posts, and comments from our community, content on exploding-heads is clearly mostly—if not completely—in violation of our instance rules, including content posted by the instance admin themselves (a large factor in the decision to defederate any instance).

On other fediverse platforms I run, such as Mastodon, I would typically respond by "Limiting" such instances, since the main goal is to avoid the publishing and promotion of such topics on our public ("All") timelines, rather than control what you can or cannot access. Unfortunately, Lemmy does not yet offer the fine-grained moderation controls to make this possible, so complete defederation is our only option to avoid the re-publishing of content which is consistently hateful and discriminatory.

Defederation from other Lemmy instances is not taken lightly, and in the future I will continue to review instances on a case by case basis.

I wasn't forced to sign back in.

Is everything under control Jonah?

This will likely just be casual reviews by technical lemmy users. However, I will be reaching out to the Mozilla Foundation and Cure53 as they recently did an audit of Mastodon. If there is interest in an external audit of lemmy and the costs are affordable, I'll look into crowdfunding this cost.

Just wondering if he noticed the hack?

That entire instance is infested with a massive amount of right-wing hate, transphobia, homophobia, and ugly political vitriol under the guise of "allowing free speech", rising to the same level or worse than lemmygrad (which we have already defederated from for obvious reasons). Please get this garbage off of the "all" page given that the entire instance actively breaks the rules of lemmy.one and is only providing them with a larger platform. I think a few trolls may have already spilled over.

just take a 20 second scroll through this mess or any of the other communities there: https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]

Nothing comes up when I search for any of my fediverse/activity pub accountswin the new Threads app from Meta. Go figure.

Is there a list of instances that Lemmy.one has defederated with or have not federated with at all? I ask because recently, I see many posts with more comments than actually shown when the post is opened

Context post at Mastodon.

Meta's activitypub Twitter/Mastodon clone will be going live under the name threads.net on July 6th (less than 24 hours from the time of this post).

Are there any plans for lemmy.one to join the FediPact in blocking all of Meta's bullshit? Considering this instance is built on the concept of privacy guides, with everything Zuck touches becoming completely antithetical to the word "privacy", I would feel it fitting for us to join the block. Meta can, and probably will, farm every federated instance out there for both user data and to populate their own monetized platform with content. They need to be contained.

This post also applies to anyone federated to this instance who sees this post. Contact your admins. Get Meta on the blocklist.

if you use arc browser, apply this boost for lemmy.one to look cooler.

I tried to make a post on [email protected]. It seemed to be successful initially, but upon checking, I couldn't find it. I made another attempt to post, encountering the same problem, with no error message provided. However, commenting functions properly.

Does it need to be approved by the mods? New to Lemmy so still getting used to everything.

I'm trying to subscribe to some of the communities linked here.

When I click on any of them, there is no working subscribe button. There is a 'subscribe' text, but it's not clickable. (see attached screenshot) The button does show up on local communities, but not on federated ones.

Tested on Safari iPadOS 16.5.1 and macOS 13.4.1

Hey Lemmy.one staff,

There’s a bug that prevents me from deleting my account, could you look into it? I’ve tried to login to my Lemmy account on both mobile (brave and safari) and desktop (brave and tor) but it keeps refreshing each time I click “delete account”, preventing me from pasting my password and proceed.

For some reason, I get an error whenever I try to post any text or image to any federated communities. This happens in WefWef, Connect, and Jerboa on Android. Haven't tried any other apps/sites yet.

I'm not sure if local ones work, but if you can see this post, then I guess it worked.

Hello all, glad to be part of the community! I'm noticing an error when trying to upload a .jpeg avatar (108kb) to my profile.

Output from devtools:

Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): operation timed out

Error message in lower left toast popup:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

I did search to see if anyone else was having an issue but couldnt't find anything. Could be with the odd endpoint above, forgot to set an .env var?

Cheers Nath

For the past few days, I haven't been able to do a global community search. I go to 'Communities' -> click 'all' -> type something and hit 'search', but then I see a red error box popping up, and I end up seeing the Posts search results, not communities.

All posts on my front page are from 2-4 days ago and no new posts are showing up there. I'm sorting by hot. Sorting by new does show activity in my subscribed communities.
