Geddit

I created c/hmmmtexts and users that hit the subscribe button get the 'Subscribe Pending' response.

I don't want to review/approve subscribers. And I don't see any way to defeat the requirement.

Any ideas on how to turn that off?

Thanks.

Edit: Approval appears to have come automatically in time. Hopefully, this won't cause would be subscribers to back off when they see 'pending,' as though they were subject to scrutiny.

Ok, I've joined @geddit , with @stux

Hi,

Could you help by resending my Verification Email for my Username? Never received it. Unsure if this is the right place to ask for Support, so apols, I'm new to Lemmy.

Being met with an Error upon Login via a Desktop (which is odd, as I could authenticate on Mobile after Forgot Password). Error message saying 'email_not_verified'. Cannot proceed past Sign-in Screen.

For now I've setup a "mobile" client for Lemmy instances on https://m.geddit.social

You can find the source code here: https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef

Just updated https://geddit.social to #Lemmy v0.18.1-RC10 & UI v0.18.1-RC11

Hopefully this solves the memory issue

Lemmy kept running out of memory and SWAP on v0.18.1-RC9

Even with 1 container and Postgres limited it would crash after x hours because it ran our of memory. Just updated and not keeping an eye out so it won't happen again

The past few days Geddit was not super stable and crashed every few hours.

It took some testing and input from other admins to create a more optimal setting for the instance!

The platform should be a lot more stable now

It took a little while but the domain has finally been cleared with Maigun from the recent spam attack.

We now send confirm mails from our hostname again, cheers!

Our Lemmy instance on https://geddit.social is back up btw!

Like often something weird caused the issue, on that more here https://geddit.social/post/153257

When upgrading Geddit to the latest Lemmy release I took some tips from @ruud@lemmy.world for a better infrastructure to prepare for future people joining (maybe)!

We use Docker for running Lemmy and now have multiple containers for each serice to speed up the platform.

• Lemmy (backend) has now 4 containers
• Lemmy UI (front end) has now 3 containers

Everything is balanced with a nginx proxy!

The service should work as expected again but please let me know if you find anything that doesn't work (fully).

After upgrading Geddit.social to Lemmy v0.18 the whole platform broke..

After many hours of editing configs, debugging and trying out various fixes a little database query to remove the "site icon" fixed it and now are back online!

I'll keep an eye out on further issues..

Hi! I encountered this problem trying to log in at jerboa app. Is that okay? Also this is my first post here so sorry if i did anything wrong!

Also, our #Lemmy instance (#Reddit alternative) can be found on https://geddit.social :lemmy:

During the last few days I stumbled accross mulitple links to Lemmy subs or specific threads from other Lemmy instances where I was able to read comments although I wasn't logged in, since I don't have an account there. But when I try to lookup the same subs/instances via our beloved instance Geddit, it says that there are no comments, although I'm able to see the initial posting.

Did anyone here experience something similar?

Just ran the spam account removal script on our database and it seems most of the spam accounts have been removed now.

All my content on the front page is 3 to 4 days old, and I've tried swapping between Active and Hot, both have the same result. I've also tried swapping from Local to All, didn't fix either. I know plenty of my communities I subscribe to have newer posts, yet my feed hasn't been updated in days. Is this a server issue? Have tried the website, and two different Lemmy apps and it all persists so it seems to be server-side.

Hi all!

As many of you know an important feature has unfortunately been removed in the latest release of the Lemmy software, the captcha.

The argument for this was that it doesn’t stop spam bots since some can solve captchas also. And I do concur that indeed some bots can do this, still many of the bot software out there cannot however.

The developers of Lemmy also acknowledged this and they are working on adding back the captcha in version 0.18.1 so we will withhold updates until that release.

Another important features on batteling the current spam waves are email validation and a lower rate limit number for signups. This can all be managed from the Lemmy admin interface 👌🏻

I hope I informed you on this and if you have questions please do ask in the comments♥️

Huh. In the list with "fastest growing #Lemmy instances" are only spam instances now

I'm currently creating an instance ban list for Geddit to block those instances if they don't take action.. This is a disaster waiting to happen :lemmy:

@lemmy

As you can see, there is a massive spam wave going on on Lemmey based instances.

This can be avoided by enabling CAPTCHA with signup and also LIMIT the registers per X seconds!

Currently the accounts are idle but this can change soon.. Please take action NOW!
