Rimworld.gallery has been online for over a year now, but Lemmy is still unable to show thumb-nailed pictures from the !RimWorldPorn@rimworld.gallery community (Mbin instance). This is why it takes ages for the timeline to load. Let's stick our heads together and try to find a way

I'm on SDF Lemmy myself. SDF used to have its fair share of outgoing federation issues, and whenever one of my posts wouldn't make it to a non-SDF instance a community is hosted on, I would rant about it in the local SDF venue.

But for the past few months, I really haven't had any issues, save for the occasional post that would never make it across. And today I realized that all of them, without exception, are posts I make to communities hosted on lemmy.world.

Here's the latest one: it shows up on my local SDF Blender@lemmy.world mirror alright but is nowhere to be seen on the primary Blender@lemmy.world community page. It's possible that it will show up there late eventually, I've seen it happen many times on other instances as they synchronize, but if this one is anything like the previous similar problems I've had posting in other lemmy.world-hosted communities, it's basically never going to get there.

So I think there's a very real lemmy.world INCOMING federation issue. In fact, I'm not even sure this very post is going to show up there at all 🙂 [EDIT: it looks like this one did]

Some of my posts were removed recently. I was notified of their removals via lemmy.world/u/AutoMod and noticed a reply button option. Who receives the reply?

Thanks

There does not appear to be any mods for !syria@lemmy.world and I'm volunteering. Thanks.

When I paste this url, the autofill isn’t producing the article title:

I‘m using voyager, but according to the dev it’s not a client issue:

Yes, its lemmy api. Here's an example with vger.social where it is working. I can confirm it is not working for lemmy.world. Could be because lemmy.world is using an outdated lemmy version, or some network config for that instance.

Last but not least, since the screenshot shows the subreddit I moderate, c/kickasswomen, and I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea: everyone whose content is posted on KickassWomen has given me their permission—I don’t steal anyone’s content nor do I post anything without their consent.

Is there a mod and admin only matrix room that we can use to discuss modding? I'm aware of Lemmy.World General and Lemmy.World DEFENCE, but I don't think either of these is what I'm looking for.

In Mastodon, post urls have the structure

<domain>/@<username>/<post id on your instance>

For your instance, and

<domain>/@<username>@<user instance>/<post id on origin instance>

for federated posts. Which makes it really easy to find a post even if it's not on your instance, I use an add-on called Mastodon Redirector that makes this even easier.

But on Lemmy it is just <domain>/<post id on your instance> no matter if it's a local post or not.

So if I have a post url on a different instance, say https://lemm.ee/post/49270741 how do I get to it on lemmy.world? (without just searching for it.)

This community

The owner hasn’t posted at all and it seems the community hasn’t been used much since it was founded a year ago

Thank you!

To add some more info, I'm using Debian 12 and Firefox 132.0 (Flatpak version). I used Gnome's Screencast to record the clip but for some reason, I couldn't get the mouse/pointer to show up in the video even though I had "Show Pointer" enabled.

Last but not least, since my username appears on the video and I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea: I moderate a community called c/kickasswomen and everyone whose content is posted on that community has given me their permission—I don't steal anyone's content nor do I post anything without their consent.

Hi Lemmy.World Admins and Support Staff,

I like this place a lot and wanted to give you a heads up pollies down under passed some new laws.

The govt wants a ban on social media for everyone under 16. This week was the last sitting week of parliament and a few bills were passed by both houses and are set to become law. (See link).

I'm not after any immediate reaction or actions, but looking to bring it to your attention for you to discuss (edit:internally) how you would react. I haven't seen the legislation and don't know how this is meant to be mechanized and it seems pretty hard to do.

Some other tech giants have already made statements as this appears to be a worldwide first.

Edit: I might have a look at the laws text and put some details here as a comment

It's about half the time I try to do anything.

When I open Firefox and go to lemmy.world, I am logged in. But if I click a lemmy.world link from Google, I am not logged in on that page. This is annoying because logging in from that page then requires 2-factor authentication. In general this makes upvoting or commenting on posts needlessly cumbersome.

(Note that I am clicking on a lemmy.world link, not another instance like lemmy.ml -- although, it would be really cool if it could somehow route me to lemmy.world's instance of that lemmy community -- I'm not sure if a workaround for that exists).

I have noticed that when I delete a comment or post, people still vote and reply to it like they can see it. Does the delete button only delete it for me?

Edit thank you to those who answered

So, one day ago l created my own community !tech_memes@lemmy.world and it kinda blew up quickly. Now lm looking for mods because of these reasons:

• Im not very active on Lemmy. I only spend like 20-30min/day.
• l have other stuff to do.
• l don't want sit all day on front of computer to moderate.
• l don't want be exposed to NSFW content Can you give advice how to choose right moderator for your community?

lf you're already moderate a few mid-sized communites and want moderate my community, then l can hire you.

Thank you <3

For almost any community on the desktop I get to see only single digit posts or nil. The same community accessed through any app on my phone has lots of posts.

I have tried to understand the language selection thing in Settings on desktop, but I am unable to understand my language selections. There seems to be no way to know if a language or undetermined are presently selected.

How do I ensure that I can access all posts while browsing the default UI on the desktop?

The Alexandrite UI seems to show almost all posts like the mobile apps.

Can I mod /fantheories?

The only mod created it a year ago, made a single post there, and hasn't made a comment/post anywhere in over four months.

They mod about 50 communities, all of them seem to be ghost towns the account was just squatting on.

So not sure if you just want to delete those so when someone wants to create it they can.

I use Firefox and while on the phone I use different apps and set my preferred font, I am not able to find the place to change the font for the web interface.

The default font appears very blurry to me compared to other websites.

The community has only one post and the user is not active.
