Lemmy Support

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?

My website How do I get the thumbnails to show up when the article links are shared on Lemmy? I tried metatags, changing the aspect ratio and the image format. Nothing seems to work. Here are some of the failed results.: [email protected] Any help would be appreciated.

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

I then proceed to get the following item for 110,670 files:

And then pict-rs just exits.

Any idea how to get pict-rs started? Or what I should look to for figuring this out.

Edit: Scanning the logs more closely I see that I never get the Migration complete message from here https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/src/commit/d45e3fa386e62e0538b3d7ba399ceaec80fdd7ca/src/repo/migrate.rs#L175, but I do get percentage completes up to Migration 59% complete - 213698/362224. 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.

Edit: updated title to add a question

I am looking at communities I am trying to follow on lemmy.world.

On lemmy.world account it shows a post was added 2hrs ago.

On lemmy.ml it shows that a post was added 2 months ago...

I am trying to follow [email protected] from my self hosted instance. When I search for it on my instance (with the "All" tab selected) I get no results found. When I go to the community https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward, click subscribe, enter my instance name, I'm redirected back to my instance, but there's a "Cannot fetch [email protected]" error in the UI, and in my server logs I see this:

     The webfinger object did not contain any link to an activitypub item

This is only happening for some communities, for example, subscribing to this community worked fine, and I was able to subscribe to other communities on lemmy.world. ([email protected] worked fine)

Any ideas why this is happening? Is this on my end?

I've been trying to log in to my account but my password – which I have written down – is apparently not even long enough to be valid. I don't know when this started happening but the point is that I can't log back in.

I tried resetting my password but the email never came to me. I've tried multiple different emails, and have confirmed that the email is not only already in use (meaning that there is an account tied to it), but I've got a lemmy notification in my email inbox to show for it as well.

If anyone could help out and/or point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.

Who deleted c/antipsychiatry and why? Or is it not deleted? The community has about 46k subscribers on Reddit

I setup a new server a couple of days ago using the Ansible playbook, and some communities are federating successfully even though they're labeled as "subscribe pending", and others that are not populating even though they're labeled as "joined". See attached image.

Q1: What does "subscribe pending" mean? The Memes and Politics communities shown in the image were setup a couple of days ago, but the content is flowing despite them still saying "subscribe pending".

Q2: Why would a community be marked "joined" without the content flowing? I just subscribed to Lemmy Support about 15 minutes ago, and content doesn't seem to be flowing yet despite the status having quickly moved to "joined".

Q3: How can I check the status of things like this either in the database or in the logs? Looking for some general troubleshooting tips, since the logs for the lemmy Docker container are a bit spammy.

Here's something I noticed in the logs right after I initiated the subscription to lemmy_support:

lemmy-1  | 2024-05-06T22:28:43.257408Z  WARN lemmy_utils: error in spawn: Unknown: Failed to parse object https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support/outbox with content {"error":"unknown","message":"Record not found"}: missing field `type` at line 1 column 48

I believe I saw this same issue when I first subscribed to Memes and Politics the other day. What's the best way to debug this?

Thanks in advance everyone, and thanks for all the amazing work.

I use the darkly-compoact theme in the web interface for lemmy, here on lemmy.world. How can I get the blue and red colors for up and down vote to be higher contrast? As-is, the pastel blue is so close to the default grey that I end up thinking an upvote didn't register. I'd prefer not to have to install some browser script just for this, and that the theme just be more inclusive of people with vision issues such as color blindness or looking for higher contrast colors.
