Haven't seen anyone here on .zip make a thread about it yet. Those of us over on SquaredCircle have our own design we'll be doing since last years went so well, and it'll be incorporating the Lemmy.zip logo on the ringmat so the instance gets some representation one way or another! (Our template)

Hi folks. Just migrated over here from Lemm.ee (RIP). I'm already loving the vibes here.

I'm trying to get my old settings imported. Most things seem to have carried over when I use the import button in Settings (blocks, saved posts, etc.), but the one thing that isn't coming through is subscribed communities. I can see them listed out in the json file under "followed communities" , but import isn't working there.

Any tips?

Voyager just errors out immediately with no details. On web, the POST to https://lemmy.zip/api/v3/community/follow returns a 400 error with error: community_follower_already_exists. Tried on local communities as well as ones from other instances; same error each time.

Anyone else having issues?

Essentially the title. I can navigate to communities on those instances, but they show no posts. Navigating to them on their respective instances they have plenty of posts. I checked and they are listed as linked instances and aren't on the blocked list so I'm just confused why they don't seem to be populating on Jerboa or on the web client. These are the only two I've encountered, but others might not be working as well.

False alarm. These appear to have somehow gotten on my personal instance blocklist. Maybe something I missed transitioning here.

Hello all!

What a weird month it has been.

The biggest piece of news is the impending closure of lemm.ee. We've been fortunate enough to be recommended by a lot of people so have taken in a large amount lemmeegrants/refulemm.ees.

Server Updates

Since the closure announcement of Lemm.ee we've taken in over 800 new accounts. We have also been made the default instance of the Voyager app, which has seen some new users directed our way.

This has been great for helping to grow the instance, but has really introduced some performance flaws when a user imports their account settings. For most people this is usually not noticeable, but if you import a very large settings file, it can actually bring the server to a standstill. For example, here's one that brought the server to a crawl for 30 minutes:

Therefore please really consider if you do need to import your file.

Thankfully the other 99% of the time the server is performing great even with an extra 800 monthly users.

You may remember from last month we were getting a bit crushed under what we assumed was scraper traffic. After investigations, tweaks, and implementing cloudflare challenges on suspected badly behaving ASNs, we've seen a massive reduction in this, and almost an elimination of 5xx errors (except when, you know, I break something!)

So outside of the imports, server performance is looking much better. We will see how things get on with any extra traffic we do get, and we will upgrade if we need to.

We also created a Piefed server - Piefed.zip! - More info can be found in this thread

Finally, we also updated to Lemmy 0.19.12. This went without issue, but took a little longer than expected sorry!

Hello, it seems !home@piefed.zip doesn't seem to allow posts so I decided to request help here. I created an account just yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine, other than some delay while upvoting/downvoting, but now I seem to not be able to even do that now. I tried both the web client and the Interstellar app. The web client gives an "Error Code 500" in the console, and the Interstellar app puts this error on the screen: Thanks for any help! :)

Seems like this should not be the case. Also if I view other federated sites with lemmy.zip I sometimes only see 3 posts, but use old.lemmy and I see all of them. Also nearly all my subscribes that are to other instances are pending. I didn't experience this when I was at lemm.ee.

Hello all,

10th June 2025 marks Lemmy.zip's second birthday!

Following the whole Reddit API fiasco in 2023, many of us moved over to Lemmy, and have never looked back. I remember sitting at my desk (it was a Sunday morning, it was probably raining, it was roughly 10am and I was actually supposed to be somewhere else) and buying the domain, wondering how on earth I was actually going to get a real website working.

It has taken a LOT of learning and perseverance, but since then we've created a fantastic community full over people from all over the world, and Lemmy.zip continues to grow and develop.

As I said in last year's birthday post, running a Lemmy instance has it's ups and downs - some days nothing goes wrong and for a large period of this last 12 months we've had a really stable site, which has led to me even at times referring to things as "too quiet". Oh how I miss those days 😭

But even with all the struggles over the last few months (spam, server issues, lemm.ee's closure) - I have been humbled by all the support and well wishes from users across the fediverse.

This year we've grown to over 4000 registered users, doubled the admin team, and learned loads along the way.

I've highlighted some of this year's happenings in our Year Two microsite: yeartwo.lemmy.zip. (PS - if you're on mobile, you can rotate your device to read it easier!)

You can also see the Year One microsite here if you're curious.

Looking forward in to year 3, I am hoping that Lemmy.zip can continue to thrive, and can become a home for anyone in the fediverse. It's sad to see instances closing, but I am hopeful we can provide a refuge and a space that in time, others can also call home.

None of this is of course possible without YOU. Yes you, reading this.

To the mods, thank you for doing a fantastic job of moderating your communities. There are a wide range of voices that contribute to Lemmy.zip, and your abilities to manage this fairly and consistently are what makes so many communities a success.

To those who have donated, you really are the backbone of keeping Lemmy.zip alive. Each donation means so much to us, and gives us hope that this is a project that many believe in and want to support.

And importantly, to the Lemmy.zip users - I know I always say this, but you make this whole site worthwhile. And I really mean it. Even if you are a lurker, just being a part of this actually means so much to us.

Happy Birthday Lemmy.zip 🍻

Hello all!

To celebrate Lemmy.zip turning 2 years old, we are once again hosting a small giveaway to say thank you for being here ❤️

We're giving away 3 prizes to 3 lucky winners. This will be 1 x £25 Steam gifts, and 2 x £10 Steam gifts.

The giveaway will be open for 48 hours from 12:00 UTC on the 10th June 2025, to 12:00 UTC on the 12th June

You can enter by making a comment in this very thread! Your comment can say or be absolutely anything you want (within reason!)

Once you've made a comment, you should get a message back from ZippyBot confirming you've entered and a ticket number. For transparency, at the end of this we'll publish the entry list and ticket numbers.

You must be a Lemmy.zip user to enter (comments from anyone else will be ignored!) and you will need a Steam account and be happy to send me your username so I can gift you the value via Steam. Your Lemmy.zip account must have been created before the 9th June 2025.

At the end of the giveaway, I'll lock the thread and Zippy will pull three random entries. The first username pulled will win the first prize (£25), and the other two users will win the other prizes (£10).

I've put a few FAQs in this spoiler tag if you want to know more:

---

FAQs - PLEASE READ!

FAQs

• Q) Can anyone enter?
• A) You must be a lemmy.zip user, have a steam account, and your lemmy.zip account must have been created before 9th June 2025

---

• Q) Can I have a giftcard for a different platform, i.e. xbox or playstation?
• A) Unfortunately not. Those platforms (to my knowledge) don't allow me to purchase a giftcard in the UK and you activate it anywhere in the world. Steam allows currency conversion on gifts.

---

• Q) How quickly will I get my prize?
• A) Steam requires that someone must be on a user's friend list for 3 days before giftcards can be sent, therefore I will share my Steam profile with the winners (or vice versa) and after 3 days of being friends on Steam, I will send the gift over. (Unless you live in the UK, in which case I can send you a code within 24 hours)

---

• Q) I think my entry was valid, but I didn't get a reply from Zippybot with my ticket number. What do I do?
• A) Send me a message asap! You can try commenting again too.

---

• Q) Are Lemmy.zip user donations funding this?
• A) No, just making it clear here that the donations to Lemmy.zip only ever go towards the server and Lemmy.zip infrastructure. The funds for this are coming from my wallet :)

---

• Q) How does Zippy select the winners?
• A) Zippy randomly shuffles the list of entrants in the DB. It then randomly shuffles the list again in Python. Then it randomly selects 3 winners from that double shuffled list. You can see the code for this here.

---

• Q) What if something goes wrong?
• A) If for any reason something goes wrong during the giveaway, it will be paused until it can be resumed. If too much time lapses, the giveaway will be restarted.

Thank you for all the work you do on lemmy.zip!

Hey guys. My name is Sean. I'm new to the Lemmy. I'm a big writer and video gamer who dabbles in Dungeons & Dragons, Anime and everything Japanese.

I'm also an IT guy and a big computer gamer.

But other than that, I'm happy to be on Lemmy.zip and I hope to contribute to the federation soon.

Hello to all of our new users.

I wish we could all meet in better circumstances. The closing of lemm.ee is a real blow to the fediverse, and I have nothing but the greatest respect for the lemm.ee admin team. Lemm.ee was a cornerstone of the lemmy community, and set a high bar for moderation and technical performance.

Finding a home on the fediverse can be tough. Whether you're here to lurk, post, moderate, or contribute in your own way, we’re glad you’ve joined us. Lemmy.zip might not replace what was lost, but we hope it can become a lemmy instance where you can feel at home.

Hello all!

Firstly, apologies I missed last month's update. As I will go in to during this month's update, the train has not been smooth sailing, the ship missed the station - for a little while, trying to uncover what has gone wrong has been like unraveling a can of worms that has gone off the tracks.

Because of the length of this update, I'm leaving off new communities for this month, but feel free to pop any in the comments you'd like to share!

Server Updates

So, I'll begin at the 0.19.11 update for Lemmy. I'd planned in some time for the update, and to begin with things went fairly normally, with usual server updates etc. Then it came time to update Lemmy itself to 0.19.11 - however, instead of the ~10 minutes of suggested downtime, it quickly became apparent that something wasn't quite right. The logs gave no indication of anything happening, and after an hour it became apparent that something hadn't worked. With not much to go on, and all the various logs showing that absolutely nothing had apparently happened, I cancelled the upgrade process and tweaked the logs so I'd get a bit more information than the standard logs usually show. This turned out to be an internal DNS issue, where Lemmy wasn't talking to the database.

So, onwards again I fixed that issue and reapplied the update, to which it had appeared to start working. Excitedly, I give it ten minutes as advised, to come back and see that it was still going.. and going.. and going.. and two hours later it was saying something was still happening. Well, by this point I'd run out of time and trusted in the process that it would resolve itself. I had unfortunately had to go to sleep as I had work the next morning, and a baby to look after.

By the next morning, still nothing. However, I can't SSH in to the server on my phone (nor would I ever want to in case it was stolen etc) and all the backend stuff is behind layers of protection, so the site was down for the day while I had to do real world work nonsense.

By the time I'd got home, it still thought it was ongoing, so I made the decision that likely something was broken and cancelled the update. Of course, letting something go to town for hours on the database meant it was probably ruined, or would require completely investigating - ain't nobody got time for that. So I crossed my fingers and hoped my backup solution had worked which it did with flying colours. I restored the database and the site came back to life.

Of course, I don't like running old versions, so I rescheduled which went much much smoother the second time around, taking 8 minutes. Whew.

For a few days, everything looked great. Metrics looked spot on and the site was running like it always was, and then bam - the server completely locked up:

A restart did eventually fix this, and things returned to normal, but not quite the same.

On the 24th April, I started getting reports of the site returning various 502 and 504 errors, and also issues with images loading. Broken images has been a feature of the image proxy for a while, but this was on another scale, with sometimes whole pages of broken images and a connection timeout on every refresh. I was, in hindsight, very out of my depth here.

I started trying to see what the cause of the timeouts where, and it became apparent quickly that the site was being hit by previously-unseen levels of traffic:

On the above graph, the left hand side was the usual amount of traffic we'd get, and on the right was the new levels we were receiving. This was likely causing the server to effectively be DDOS'd, and uncovering issues with the performance of the server. For a comparison of the usual amount of traffic we get, here's a graph from the last server update:

Many configs were tweaked. Much database performance monitoring took place. Things were turned off and back on indiscriminately. Unfortunately not much worked.

It was at this point our new Admin, Gazby, joined the team - and quickly got to work diagnosing and fixing so many of the issues.

Some of the changes include much better backups, reduced latency in image storage (the images moved from the USA to EU storage), images being served from i.lemmy.zip to allow for better caching to reduce the load on the server, complete review and tweak of all the configs and server setup, and a detailed list of things we need to work on going forwards (plus no doubt lots of things I am forgetting).

This has really helped to stabilize the site, and while we can see it's not 100% perfect, the amount of 502/504 errors should have massively reduced, and the site should be almost as it used to be.

One of things Gazby has also worked on is reporting and insights into the server, and so for example here's a graph showing the 504 errors today:

We've got some plans on the horizon we're working on which should increase the performance of the site, which possibly/probably will include a server move to rule out hardware issues or latent config issues we can't find.

Whatever triggered these issues I am still not sure - it looks like it could be scrapers/AI bots hammering the site, and so we've put some measures in place here. If you use the old front end then you may have noticed a cloudflare challenge to try and prevent the server being overloaded - also a prewarning, the old front end is no longer maintained, and unless someone steps in, it is not compatible with the next version of Lemmy. Therefore at that point it will be retired unless someone works on it to bring it back in line. It is also the cause of a LOT of the server traffic problems, so it probably isn't too much of a bad thing. Maybe someone will rewrite it to be better :)

As it stands, things still aren't perfect - we had an issue where the bit of the server that actually directs you to the right place got overwhelmed, and so we put a fix in for that, but they are hopefully a lot better than they were a couple of months ago.

Thanks

Demigodrick

I don't know what changed, but just a week ago images linked in posts were embedded faithfully at full size when opened as a post. Now, I have to click on the link itself to see the full image.

I'm getting frequent Gateway time-out errors when trying to access lemmy.zip

The website is slow from time to time. Never happened to me before

This isn't .zip specific, but I was under the impression that the modlog recorded everything, yet there have been times that I can't find removed comments listed there. Are there times that mods or admin can hide/delete actions? Examples listed inside

I try to upload a video, the audio gets deleted. Why? Example attached. It works on other instances... :(

Just wanted to post a quick confirmation that the site has updated to 0.19.11.

I'll be keeping an eye on the site over the next hour or so, but if you notice anything wrong please let me know.

Thanks Demigodrick

Hi All,

As some of you may have realised, the planned upgrade sort of crashed everything, and we had our longest period of downtime since the site began.

This is partly because I had to go to sleep (thanks to a newborn and a job).

The good news is that the backup process worked! We've restored to seconds before the upgrade took the site offline.

The bad news is that federation is likely to be.. wonky.. for a little while. The site may also go up and down while I undo some of the fixes I tried.

Ultimately the issue came down to the upgrade failing (I am not sure why - will be digging into this now the priority is no longer getting the site up) and then the containers not talking to eachother, so the UI wouldn't talk to lemmy, and lemmy wouldn't talk to the database.

I rebuilt the containers, restored the backup, restarted everything, and it's all come back up (admittedly not perfect right now).

Importantly, I want to issue an apology. This isn't what I want for Lemmy.zip, and it should've been handled way better by myself. I'm always learning but this took way longer than it should've, and while I take some solace in the fact the backup process worked and has been proven to work in production, the delay in being able to get this back up is entirely my fault and frankly unacceptable.

I'll be working to document this outage, the steps it took to get it back up, and some form of repeatable plan so a repair can be replicated in the future if I'm not available.

In terms of upgrading to 0.19.11 - I will have to try again soon as it's got some security fixes we desperately need to implement.

Thanks

Demigodrick

Hello all,

It's that time of the month again!

Unfortunately we didn't have chance to do an April Fools this year (besides, reality is weird enough in itself) - as mentioned at the end of the last update I was expecting a child, who has safely arrived and is amazing, whilst also ruining my sleep schedule and eating all of my free time!

I am sneaking a few minutes in though, to write this as they sleep!

Communities

We've had loads of new communities this month, so I'll highlight certain ones to keep the list a bit more manageable:

• Language Settings
• Fields of Mistria
• Sim Racing
• Foundation
• Planet Coaster
• Kingdoms Reborn
• TF2 Weapon Ideas
• Automation and Factory Builder Games

---

Server Update

In terms of actual lemmy.zip development, things have been a little quieter. We updated to 0.19.10 when it was released - Changelog here, and we've implemented a couple of ways of trying to filter out Nicole PMs. If anything, its pushed me to learn new ways of interacting with Lemmy to harden the moderation support capabilities of Zippy. Before 0.19.10 was released, you may have noticed a PM in your inbox with something along the lines of "Removed by Admin" if Zippy picked up Nicole spam - with the introduction of 0.19.10, PMs are deleted when we ban an account, so you won't need to see that anymore.

And that's it really - Sami and Druid have done a fantastic job keeping on top of applications and mod reports, and hopefully everything will continue to run smoothly :)

I will schedule some small maintenance downtime when I get a chance, but I'll give plenty of notice.

Please don't be a lurker!

If you’re new to Lemmy.zip - WELCOME! I hope you’re enjoying your time here :)

I am sure that long term readers are bored of reading this now, but it is really is true that the easiest way you can support Lemmy.zip is to actively engage with content here: upvoting content you enjoy, sharing your thoughts through posts and comments, sparking meaningful discussions, or even creating new communities that resonate with your interests.

It’s natural to see fluctuations in user activity over time, and we’ve seen this over the wider lemmy-verse for some time now. However, if you’ve found a home here and love this space, now is the perfect opportunity to help us thrive.

If you want to support us in a different way than financially, then actively interacting with the instance helps us out loads. If you’ve gone to the trouble of creating an account, then come and be part of the Fediverse! Please don’t be a lurker! :)

Apologies, bit of a shorter one than usual, but I am severely sleep deprived! (and will moan about it at every opportunity)

As always please let me know if there is anything you'd like to see me include in these, otherwise I'll be back next month with another one!

Thanks

Demigodrick

Apologies if this isn't the place to post this, but is the capability to block/filter posts by a keyword something that is A) doable but unique to certain instances, B) doable but unique to certain interfaces (I use a.lemmy.zip fwiw), or C) just straight up not doable at this time anywhere on lemmy?

Hello! I've been part of the Lemmy community for almost 2 years, but now it was time to join Lemmy.zip and create some communities. This instance seemed the perfect one to host some gaming communites I missed on Lemmy, so I created them. (One of the most beautiful part of fediverse/lemmy is the option to keep things organized, so a Lemmy about gaming? Here I am!)

!PlanetCoaster@lemmy.zip Is a community about Planet Coaster games, to share your parks, rolercoasters and discuss game updates.

!foundationgame@lemmy.zip Foundation is an Indie game by Polymorph Games where you build your medieval village. I missed this community on Lemmy and users can share their villages, questions and game updates. The game just came out of Early Acess last month.

I also started modding a community for Cities Skylines. This community was abandoned and I asked to mod it. I know this is not on Lemmy.zip, but it was the community with most users/posts about the game. Again, to stay organized, for me, it wouldn't make sense to create another one and disperse users even more. For those interested in joining its !citiesskylines@lemmy.ml.

I'm also thinking about creating one for 'Kingdoms Reborn' game. Is anyone instaread in this?

Thank you for the lemmy.zip devs/mods for creating this space in the fediverse/lemmy about games!

I hope you enjoy the communities I created!

Hi! I joined Lemmy.zip in search of an European / non-US alternative to r/. I heard about Lemmy via one of the several Buy European / European alternatives community posts. While signing up for the .world instance it urges you to have a look at less generic instances that might match your interest. That's when I found you. I game from time to time, work in IT (architecture) and have a broad personal interest in understanding the 'How' behind technology. Lemmy.zip sounds like a good match!

While getting settled and trying all the different web apps I have observed:

• All the different front-ends (a. /m. /t.) require a new login, this feels a bit strange while you are on the same domain.
• The mobile m.lemmy.zip (photon), while looking pretty has a few issues:
  • The setting to blur NSFW thumbnails does not work, they show unblurred. Other apps (e.g. Tesseract) do blur.
  • Scrolling through the feed on Firefox (Android) is very jerky with a lot of 'hickups' going back up for a fraction of a second while scrolling down.
• While I'm not opposed to seeing content in posts that could be considered NSFW, I'm not particularly looking for it or communities focussed on it. Turning(/leaving) visibility on however floods the 'all' feed with (bot)posts from porn-related communities. Is there a way to leave NSFW visibility on, without seeing those communities recommended in the feed?

So far I prefer t.lemmy.zip for mobile (Firefox) and a.lemmy.zip for desktop (Zen browser).
