The release notes for 0.19.4 mention that this version requires an upgrade to both pictrs and postgres, but there isn't any information about what versions of those are supported. Is there someplace else I should be looking for this information? Or should I just YOLO with the latest version of each?

The R site has such a feature, which can allow one to group posts from many communities into one feed.
With many communities on different instances with similar topics, it'd be useful to group them to avoid separate visits to each community.

Does lemmy have such an option?
If not, are there any lemmy clients that can provides a similar option?
Or are there known workarounds, maybe with the rss feeds or so?

Over at [email protected] we've got a sidebar with a "total subscribers" shields.io badge, like many other communities all over the Lemmyverse do. I made a simple, non-badge-related edit to the sidebar and due to what seems an aggressive image proxy, the shields.io badge address gets mangled after the edit is saved.

This is "Community Info" from [email protected] on Jerboa. At the bottom of the screen is the midwest.social/api/v3/image_proxy image.

This is "Community Info" from [email protected] on Jerboa, as an example of a working badge. At the bottom the screen is the working shields.io badge.

The pre-save preview shows everything as should be. It's only when the edit is saved does the badge address get mangled.

I contacted our fearless leader, @[email protected], and he changed an image proxy setting. Now [email protected] works as it should. Any further details or information in regards should be asked of him. Thanks.

EDIT: It seems to have been fixed thanks to @[email protected]. Running analyze verbose; in postgres.

After updating to 0.19.5 from 0.19.3 my postgres is often using up 500%+ of CPU according to docker stats and often going to 100% CPU on most cores according to htop. Also noticed in the uptime monitor:

htop shows one of the 5 postgres processes constantly on UPDATE. I think this might be part of the problem.

I'm not comfortable with postgres and am honestly completely in the dark how or where to mitigate or even pinpoint this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

So I wrote a little web app that allows a user to move their user data, like settings and subscribed/banned communities, from one account/instance to another.

It runs completely client-side, but is hosted on GitHub for the moment. Maybe it'll be of some use!

Features:

• Export user data from any Lemmy instance (>=v0.19)
• Download user data as a text file
• Modify user data in the browser, e.g. to add or remove followed instances
• Transfer user data to the target account on the target instance

I'm experiencing some odd behavior. Lemmy communities on my server seem to have stalled (no new posts and or comments) since 2 days.

I went ahead and upgraded lemmy to 0.19.5 and postgres to the current version but to no avail so far.

.ml got banned by fail2ban but I set it on the ignore list now. any ideas where to start looking for the problems? I checked for the other big communities and they're okay it seems.

I can of course start adding logs in here but I would love to know which service or log I should start with.

Thanks for reading. Have a good one.

Edit: outgoing federation works. this post made it to ml in seconds.

Let’s say I hit submit on a post or reply, and then immediately notice a typo and edit it. Or I accidentally mis-swipe and downvote and then change it to an upvote.

In both cases, do both actions immediately get posted to the feed, or does the Lemmy instance wait a minute and combine (or overwrite) the actions so that only a single action gets published?

As title says. I had an account at lemmy.ml while back and got it deleted. Now I am trying to switch back to Lemmy.ml but during registeration. I get that error, that the user name is taken by user. But it's taken by my deleted account.

My handler is mahmoudk1000, cloud you please free it ? So I can reuse it.

Thanks in advance!

I want to hide the box thingy inside the red circle. How do I do it? I'm using Lemmy on Firefox.

Anyone care to share their docker compose file for the upgrade? Or at least the pictrs portion? I've upgraded and migrated postgres to 16, but am having issues with the pictrs part.

I've created the community [email protected] from an account on lemmy.zip, but want to use my tchncs.de account to moderate and run it, so I transferred the community to my tchncs.de account.

I've changed content in the sidebar and pinned a post to the top, but both of those changes don't federate from tchncs.de to lemmy.zip

You can see the changes when viewing the community from tchncs.de but you don't see the changes when viewing the community directly on lemmy.zip

Both instances run Lemmy 0.19.4

How can this be resolved?

please help

My 2FA app lost my keys because of a bad update. The only one I seem to be missing is the one for this Lemmy instance. Is there an admin that can help reset? Using an api key to post.

I have been investigating if there is a community dedicated to Photon (a great Lemmy front-end) that doesn't seem to have an exclusive option to search for communities, does anyone know if there is an exclusive community for Photon (or Lemmy front-ends in general)?

…or is the new web interface huge? I'm using Firefox 126 and I've reduced the page size to a bearable 90%.

More importantly though, please try this test in your browser of choice (I haven't tested from a dedicated app):

1. create a post (for the sake of this test all you have to do is press the "Create a post" button in the sidebar) in any community
2. Fill the body text field so you have enough text to for at least one press of 'PgDn'. I've supplied three paragraphs of dummy text you can copy for your convenience at the end of this post. Make sure the focus is still in the body text area (you should see the area highlighted with an outline.)
3. switch to any other tab you have open.
4. switch back to your post tab

You should see that the page has jumped back to the top. This also happens when you press 'Preview' with focus in the text area: the page jumps to the top and doesn't preview the post! In fact, any time the text box loses focus, the page jumps to the top. Merely clicking outside the text area will make the page jump to the top.

I hope I've clearly explained the situation.

Is this displayed in any browser or just Firefox? Any OS or just Linux. Is this a bug or am I the only one experiencing these glitches? Any help/corroboration would be appreciated. Lemmy: the Tupolev Tu-144 of social media!® Thanks.

For example, say an instance C is not defederated with B nor A. Can a user on A see users from B if they visit a community on C? If so, to what extent can the users from A and B interact with each other on C?

On my hosted instance a problem is occurring where youtube urls will display properly with the thumbnail but when you go to play it it recieves an error. I think it was working a few days ago, what could be causing this and how can I fix it? Appreciate any help I receive thanks

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/32751730

So I had made a post regarding sorting posts not working, but I have noticed another issue where some communities just don't have some older posts. I have tried both on web and on android app, and it's the same, tweaked some settings too. A demo video (GIF) showcasing the problem and my account settings are attached in below Imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/8X8AQpI

So I have tried to search this community, Lemmy in general, and the GitHub issues on LemmyNet/lemmy repo, but didn't immediately see anything discussing this.

It would be really cool if Lemmy would trigger Firefox's new translation icon in the address bar based on the browser/OS/Lemmy language as compared to the post/comment language.

So i.e. if my browser/OS language is English and the post is flagged German or contains comments that are flagged as German, the Firefox address bar should show the little translation beta icon in the address bar, because Firefox can translate between these two languages.

Bonus points if it doesn't offer German translations if I'm logged in and have set German as one of my languages in the Lemmy settings.

(by the way the dialogue always adds "Undetermined" regardless of if it being selected in the settings or not, not sure if that's intended)

Hope you guys can figure it out. Right now the Firefox button doesn't seem to pop up regardless of which Lemmy instance I visit and which language is set where, but it does appear for a lot of other websites.

And while I'm here, thank you for all you do for us users and the Fediverse/ActivityPub in general. It's much appreciated! :)

Hi I've just arrived on Lemmy but I'm already talking shit and people hate me like when I say Twitter is better than Mastodon (sorry I'm an idiot). But now I want to delete my post because I don't assume but it won't go away!!!! Can someone explain to me how the delete system works? Thanks a lot.

Hello, [email protected] was locked by my mods, and continued on [email protected] which is entirely fine given federation, so I guessed I could follow it on the lemmy sort of synced space/community, [email protected], where I can post to the slrpnk community without having an account there. But for some reason recent posts on slrpnk real xmpp community are not showing on [email protected], like if they're not syncing anymore.

Any way to remediate it?

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help me out here. I just did the upgrade, I've updated my ENV variables, and started, and I get:

2024-05-18T19:13:07.047224829Z 2024-05-18T19:13:07.046998Z  INFO migrate_04: pict_rs::repo::migrate: Running checks

Nothing else indicates, though.

I currently have my instance running on my local network. I now have to expose it to the internet and want to use cloudflared for this. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

I am using the default nginx config. Here is my docker-compose.yml https://pastebin.com/6awxsZn8

EDIT: adding network_mode: 'host' to cloudflared fixed it.

I setup a new instance a week or two ago, and have some subscriptions to communities on lemmy.world. The logs for the Lemmy process are currently showing a constant flood of warnings for what look like ordinary activity (likes, creates, undos, etc). Here are two recent entries:

Tailing the Docker logs is like watching a torrent of these warnings, and I'm worried about the stress its adding to my fairly meager VM. Any tips on how to debug this? I'm proficient with Rust, so I'm willing and able to jump into the code if it'll help.
