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 !privacyguides@lemmy.one 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 !privacy@lemmy.ml.

!privacyguides@lemmy.one seems like a nice option, but raised also the questions above.

Thank you again.

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.

Would it be bad etiquette, for us who are leaving the other site, to recreate some of our old posts on Lemmy? EDIT: Not like for clout or something. I mean because there was like a decade's worth of preserved knowledge across lots of really niche domains over there. Stuff that maybe isn't even recorded anywhere else.

Here’s the trick:

[some community](/c/some_community@server.tld)

So:

[WowThisLemmyExists](/c/wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca)

Gives us this link: WowThisLemmyExists

Which links to that community... but within the instance you’re currently in! So you can actually subscribe to it!

(Many thanks to the Lemmy Project Chat on Matrix!)

It’s a small thing, but it’s kind of annoying to have to scroll down to the one language everyone is using. Maybe order top 3 languages by popularity at top?

I’d like to post/read something like “Leopards Ate My Face” sub, I can’t find one on Lemmy. If there isn’t one, can we create it?

I've been browsing communities in other instances, and I noticed that sometimes not all comments show up when viewing from different instances.

For example, this post on !food@beehaw.org shows having 17 comments when viewed on beehaw, but only 6 when viewed from lemmy.one:

Here are the links to the post:

Beehaw link

lemmy.one link

Is this just a quirk of how federation works or is it specifically a problem on my end?

It looks like www.lemmy.one lands on a default nginx page. Maybe it makes sense to redirect to lemmy.one?

No Favicon for Lemmy? Missing on my pinned tab is driving me crazy haha. I'm sure there are much more important things, especially during the reddit blackout events.

I'm sure you've noticed every few minutes on the front page posts will load in from the top and push things down.

usually I'll get some number of posts will from the same comm

I'm guessing this is just how need stuff comes in. is there a way to turn this off so that things won't load into my screen until i refresh?

Is there a way to see which instances Lemmy.one is blocking and which ones are blocking Lemmy.one?

I created my own comm on lemmy-ml yesterday and have made a couple posts since then. I wanted to subscribe to it from lemmy-one and join from here for everyday usage and only moderate from lemmy-ml

I'm trying to lower my lemmy-ml usage to help with server stability there.

is there a time delay in getting new comms added to the search here? or maybe some other cause?

I've tried finding it through search and I've also tried directly putting in the URL I think it would be based on what the URL looks like for other comms. neither worked for me

clearly, I'm missing something here

noob question, but I don't see that shown anywhere in the docs.

there's a URL text field when creating a post, I have been leaving it blank but there's clearly something that I can put in there. what goes there?

Is anyone else seeing some posts appear in the feed All - Hot from other instances?
Seems it's some kind of backtracking to fetch old threads from the other instances.

It looks like this (these ones are recent posts, but I saw some from 2years ago too)

What happened? Is there some need for additional assistance or moderation or did something change about the direction of the instance?

Genuinely though; I could understand if it was done defensively; I do see some trolls rolling through here...

Hello there, Curious if there is a way to share a post that's on Lemmy.one

Thank you

Gave your community a follow of course :)

As the title implies; how did we achieve a "No Downvoting" functionality on this instance; and how does it function with relation to other instances which may not disable the feature?
