Hey folks

Just a quick heads up, we will be performing some database maintenance today. Expected downtime is ~15 minutes.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Update: maintenance complete!

The current mod has been missing for 2 years

This issue has resurfaced again.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/22062206

Lemm.ee Conservative Community has had an Elon Nazi salute post up for two days now.

IDK about other people but it makes me feel sick to the stomach being federated with such content. I don't really have any problems with Lemm.ee as a whole but I feel like having an uncritical Nazi salute on the network goes against everything Blahaj stands for.

Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?

(if someone needs an image description, please ask)

Reddit just banned a ton of LGBTQ+ and NSFW subs, I imagine a bunch of people will be heading this way!

As an American, I hope my Lemm.ee data is not stored in the US and so could not be subpeonaed, taken down, etc... by this corrupt government.

Can one of the Admins please confirm or deny this?

As I was made a moderator of !palestine@lemm.ee without being asked first, and can't seem to find a button to demote myself, could a lemm.ee admin remove my moderator role for that community?

Edit: Issue resolved via solution suggested in comment below.

Edit 2: For now at least, there seems to be a problem with self de-moderation across instances, as my moderator status returned after I tried removing it. I thus subsequently contacted the person who promoted me to have the moderator status removed.

On reddit I gert a preview of the text for each post. It enables me to read some of the content to see if it is worth reading the whole and comments.

Is there a way to get this on lemm.ee?

Edit: I found the little + icon to see the post content without opening the whole post. But I am still interested if I can get a 5 line Preview by default or so. On mobile I use Voyager, which provides this. But it would be cool to have that on desktop as well.

Can someone have a look or help that person?

I am seeing a lot of local communities in the search tab which are recently created and have 0 post but 36 subscribers. Same happened with my !thefinals@lemm.ee community. Are these bots?

Posts on !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.com seem to exist on dbzer but dont seem to be getting federated across to lemm.ee. That site thats hows the federation lag of any 2 given instances indicate that there are no issues? Whats going on here?

[SOLVED] I failed and didn’t read the rules fully… 4 weeks before upload is available!

Can't seem to add a profile picture or add an image to this post as an example.

Is this a known thing because I have a new account?

Tried under 100kb, changing the name and a different image entirely!

I just realized that lemmy.world has terms of service and now I'm curious if lemm.ee does as well? I'm starting to realize I should have done more research before setting up my communities and accounts.

I know that there's a way, I've seen it before. I cannot find it.

I've posted to some lemmy world communities and there's been no response when they're had been in the past. Nothing positive, negative, nothing. How can I see if my posts are actually posting?

Has anyone else noticed that they can no longer save posts from lemmit.online?
For me the interface indicates that the post was saved, but then it does not show up in my list of saved posts. This occurs both in Lemm.ee's web interface and in Eternity, for all lemmit.online communities.

Hey Folks

Just a quick note to let you all know about some changes in the lemm.ee admin team. After discussing things with the other admins, we've decided to shuffle around our roles a bit.

Up until now, I’ve been the head admin at lemm.ee - handling infrastructure, maintaining rules and policies, and acting as the main contact person for the admin team.

However, I’ve come to realize that this role has taken a toll on me. While I still love the idea of Lemmy and everything it stands for, being an admin has slowly drained the joy I once had for the platform. The occasional negative experiences have been increasingly difficult for me to shake off. For the past several months, I’ve found myself hesitating to check my DMs or the moderation queue, simply because I’m bracing for some new drama that I no longer have the energy to manage.

After some conversations with the team, we’ve agreed on a plan to ensure my burnout doesn’t negatively impact the instance:

1. I am stepping down as head admin of lemm.ee.
2. The new main contact person for the admin team will be @EllaSpiggins@lemm.ee.
3. I’ll continue to maintain and update the infrastructure behind the scenes.
4. The rest of the admin team will now handle all moderation issues, managing our policies, and any general admin communications.

It’s been an honor to serve as your head admin, and I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing people I’ve met here. I’m excited to stay involved in a capacity that works better for me and allows me to enjoy this community once again.

See you around!

Federation with Lemmy.world seems to be down

Hey folks!

I'll be updating lemm.ee to 0.19.7 shortly. I'll take it offline & also perform some database maintenance at the same time.

I have been investigating some incoming federation issues, and I haven't been able to find the actual cause. My current theory is that they are related to some server timeouts. I am hoping that the combination of the Lemmy upgrade and database maintenance may help improve the situation, but if not, then I will try other approaches.

Edit: the upgrade has been completed!

Started getting an error "Posts failed loading, retry" whenever Jerboa attempts to load more posts from the "All" feed. This does not seem to happen when viewing specific community feeds. Refreshing the entire feed still works just fine, and produces new posts. I swapped to a couple other instances, such as lemmy.world, and did not get the same behavior. This just started yesterday, 2024-11-17.

I'd upload an image, but image uploads are also broken, have been for a few days.

UPDATE: Seems to be fixed, at the moment.

Hello everyone,

There seems to be some federation delay between lemm.ee and lemmy.ml: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/bdid38k9p0t1cf/federation-health-single-instance-overview?orgId=1&var-instance=lemm.ee&var-remote_instance=lemmy.ml

There is now a more than 5 days delay between the two instances

@sunaurus@lemm.ee FYI

Is it just on my end? All other instances i have tried (.world, .ml, sh.itjust.works, db0, even hexbear) are displaying thumbnails correctly. I have tried opening lemm.ee in chrome, changing my dns etc.

Anything else I can try? Any help is appreciated.
