Blahaj Lemmy Meta

Example: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/c/science_memes/p/438077/

It still shows up in the community and on the user’s profile, it just says ‘not found’ when clicked on.

Edit: just discovered that for some reason I can access the post on Piefed through the Voyager app, but still can’t through the browser interface.

I'm a trans woman, but not a binary one. I used to be on Reddit, and I hated r/twoxchromosomes. You know they had trans people complaining about the name within a month of being created? They always use the excuse that they're too big to change, but they knew about the problem before they got big.

So when I saw c/womensstuff on Lemmy, I was cautiously optimistic. Women need a space on Lemmy to be women without harassment from cis men. There's a lot of sexism on this site. More than the transphobia, actually, which is a weird dynamic. For the record I'd rather be with the bear than the man, because the bear is probably going to mind its own business.

But I also know how horrible cis women can be to trans people when they're fixated on maleness as the problem instead of patriarchy. J K Rowling was abused by a man, and she chose to deal with her pain by becoming a Death Eater. Excluding men from the women's space is a good idea, but I wanted to see if the mods were woke enough to pull it off without falling into the TERF trap.

Yesterday there was a post to the community that hit the front page, and a lot of cis men not reading the rules. I'm glad those cis men are being told to go away, they were turning the women's community into a men-talking-over-women community. Spaces with more men than women need to have the patience to hold space for women, or they'll end up as spaces with only men.

And I fucked up yesterday. I pointed out that a man might be bigender, and was rightly told by atomicorange, who is smarter than me, that any bigender people on the community should introduce themselves as a woman before introducing themselves as a man.

But then there's thermal_shock...

If you assume anyone who isn't a woman is a cis man, then 99% of the time you'll be right. But then there's the 1% of people who are nonbinary. And spaces with more binary people than enbies need to have the patience to hold space for enbies, or they'll end up as spaces with only binary people.

I'm glad thermal_shock didn't get banned, but I'm a bit upset that they were told to go away. If c/womensstuff is only for women (binary or nonbinary), that makes sense to me. If it's for women and enbies and trans men, that makes sense too.

But if the mods mix up those two things, then enbies who aren't women are in a weird place. Allowed by the rules, but still told by mods to go away.

Society tells us all there are only two genders. A lot of people know that's not true, but they kinda forget it, because they spend all their time dealing with men and women. And that makes enbies wanna hide ourselves away to avoid having to inconvenience the binaries and maybe get in a confrontation. But we need enbies to be visible so that everyone can have experience around enbies and stop forgetting we exist.

I don't think c/womensstuff is a TERF space. I think they just fucked up yesterday, like I did. But I'm worried about the future, because I don't think their mods have been careful enough in how they think. They're mixing up being a women's space and being a general gender minority space. They haven't picked one or the other. And it's making them mess up.

So earlier we were assigned mod for the community "queer defense front" on this instance.

The person didn't ask us to be mod or communicate with us at all, then promptly banned us for asking people kindly to not use ableist language.

The rules clearly said zero tolerance for hate, and ableism is hate to us. Plus it seems the person didn't ban those who were being hateful to us (at least not that we can see in the modlog), so double standards we guess?

If you want something specific you have to actually, you know, communicate.

We don't care about the ban (it's not a community we particularly care about), or whatever, just the sheer strangeness of it all and the fact that the person didn't apply the same rules to others as they did us.

We've blocked them and the community. But yeah, maybe don't assign people mods if you've never even asked them or communicated what you want? That's not a gift, that's a terrible responsibility you haven't given them any information or preparation for.

Sorry if this is not the right place to pitch this. Feel free to take it down.

This Halloween, Friday Oct 31st, is the release date for the new Riftbound game by Riot Games. My interest in the game is from a place of loving card games. I've been a huge card game fan since I played pokemon as a kid. I played alot of Hearthstone in college and after. Then in the last few years I've played Magic the Gathering Commander. Riftbound mechanically seems like a very solid game and I'm super excited about it.

If people would like a place to discuss the game, strategy, post relevant news articles, deck ideas, etc let me know. I think a dedicated community would a great way to achieve that.

If you want to see an example, take a look at the lorcana community I moderate on lemmy.world.

I could make the community or someone else could. But if I make the community, all I ask is for at least one other person to help moderate it. Single moderator communities can run into issues if that one moderator makes a mistake. So to avoid that single point of failure I would like to work with people to make such a community function smoothly. edit: typo

Also a community doesn't have to be the go to solution. We could post Riftbound memes in 196. Thanks for reading this and I'm excited to hear what people have to say. <3

What a victory; good job, Kansas Supreme Court!

was trying to find out if we are intentionally defederated, I don't see any hilariouschaos communities showing up in the Blahaj search, so I assume they aren't federated - just not sure why and was hoping to learn the lore 😅

i've noticed lately that there seems to be federation issues with lemmy.world. i don't receive updates from communities or users there, and looking at my profile from lemmy.world, it's missing a few comments that were posted in the last days, when usually it's much much quicker to update.

even when looking at .world communities on here when not logged in, they seem to be stuck in the past! for example, from here the last post from !games@lemmy.world is from 5 days ago, but on .world there are many more recent posts.

does anyone else have issues with them? are we blocking them, or are they blocking us?

Unfortunately iOS 26 removed the ability (idk if this is true it just stopped working for me) to start a voice memo without conformation. But other than having to active Do not Disturb and pressing confirm the shortcuts are hands free.

When I try to access lemmy.blahaj.zone I get Safari asking if I want to download it (???) and Firefox just times out. The server status on Lestat shows as fine though, and I don’t seem to be having any trouble loading pics from LBZ.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey, sorry if this doesn't go here. But my posts and comments seem to be getting no interaction, which is unusual. I was wondering if piefed.blahaj.zone had shadowbanned me for some reason, though I don't know why that would be.

does the piefed instance get updated automagically?

i was just curious cause i always see changes but the version still says 1.0.1-dev. hopefully you're not having to deploy all the time! i was just curious :3

I came back to lemmy after a short break and lemmy.blahaj.zone (the default client) doesn't load, and on photon and alexandritte upvotes are broken

We keep trying, filling in the form and using the code from the link place and it just keeps telling us that there's an error no matter what we do. Could someone or somemany please look into it? Thanks!

So using lemmy via the main web ui is very slow to load, and then sometimes only loads a few elements recently.

Can this be fixed?

For me at least. lemmy.blahaj.zone doesn't load but phtn.lemmy.blahaj.zone does.

Not sure if this goes here; apologies if it doesn't.

I created an account to try out Piefed, and the above message shows up on my homepage. However, no such email exists in my inbox. I've checked my spam folder. Not sure if any functionality is missing because of this.

All help appreciated.

I just made a new instance but I have no clue how to federate with others like you, an inclusive community and see their posts and such. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

I can get to this instance via app, but it seems impossible via any browser.

Edit: This is effectively solved by this browser plugin I found that lets me swap instances with a single click. It turns out there is no way to make an RSS feed for remote users between instances, so this is a close 2nd in terms of convenience.

For example: I want to follow this user's posts because they post regular hand-crafted news posts. The RSS link noted in the screenshot gives me this error pasted at the end of this post.

I tried going to lemmy.world and their RSS feed button works, but I don't want the .world link in my RSS feed, as I want to comment on the post sometimes. Is there any way to get the blahaj.zone user RSS feed working for non-blahaj.zone users?

Thanks in advance.

The error (in .json format): 'CouldntFindPerson: CouldntFindPerson\n 0: lemmy_routes::feeds::get_feed_user\n at crates/routes/src/feeds.rs:254\n 1: lemmy_routes::feeds::get_feed\n at crates/routes/src/feeds.rs:193\n 2: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request\n with http.method=GET http.scheme="https" http.host=lemmy.blahaj.zone http.target=/feeds/u/PerfectDark@lemmy.world.xml otel.kind="server" request_id=7991f179-8c64-43cb-8eba-0247d85cef70\n at src/root_span_builder.rs:16'

Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

Hey everyone

We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee will be shutting down on June 30, 2025.

What you need to know

As of now:

• New user registrations are disabled
• Creating new communities is disabled

What you should do:

• You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings to take them with you to another instance.
• If you're moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline.
• Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline.
• If you're one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support.

Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline.

Why this is happening

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

We know this sucks. We're genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better.

– lemm.ee team

Does anyone know why blahaj.zone (sharkey) keeps giving error 504? It gave me one yesterday then sorted it and I'm getting another one now? Considering moving to transfem.social because this is a bit silly.
