I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

Just curious how many of you are cool with this deeply racist image being the header for one of your comms

I didn't want to make an announcement about this but since there seems to be some confusion (to say the least), I feel that I must.

You have almost certainly started seeing posts and comments from hexbear.net users in the past day or so. Long story short, when hexbear originally federated into Lemmy a few weeks ago, they left SJW off the list of instances they wanted to federate. A few days ago, hexbear users had a vote where they agreed to add SJW to their list of federated instances.

Myself and TheDude were informed of this vote by the hexbear admins while it was in progress. We agreed that if hexbear voted in the affirmative, we would be amenable to federation and seeing how it turns out. Now, here we are.

Hexbear is a Lemmy server that was created about 3 years ago as a new home for the former users of r/chapotraphouse. CTH was banned from reddit because they were openly calling for the deaths of slave owners, which reddit considered hate speech 🙄

Hexbear is composed of leftists of all shapes and sizes, and they also have a special sensitivity to the struggles of marginalized groups, including but not limited to LGBTQ folk, the disabled, and gingers.

Some things to know about hexbear: they removed downvotes from their platform. Therefore, they tend to make a lot of comments, because the only way to respond to something you disagree with is by commenting. This can give the impression of being brigaded, but that's not necessarily the case. Also, their custom emojis are displayed very large on other instances. This is a technical issue that will eventually be fixed.

Of the major instances, Lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, feddit.de, and beehaw.org have defederated hexbear.

SJW, Lemm.ee, and lemmy.ml are still federated with hexbear.

I hope we can all get along, but obviously that's not going to be the case. I recommend that users from either server make use of the block function as necessary. More importantly, don't intentionally go to communities on the other server and attempt to antagonize them because you have a differing political stance. Some political debate is well and good, but there is a time and a place, and if you're not sure, it's probably best to keep it on your own server.

We will be banning hexbears liberally if they come in here trying to start shit, and their admins will do the same regarding our users. Pun intended.

Bottom line: we will not be defederating from hexbear in the immediate future. I personally believe they are a valuable asset to this platform, and I urge you all to give them a chance to contribute positively. If you find them annoying, just block them and/or report them; they are subject to the same rules of conduct as everyone else.

Please direct any comments and concerns to this thread, or to the Agora.

If so, was it polled somewhere?

One of the things that annoyed the shit out of me when I was on Reddit is when users would sift through the post/comment history of your account to use as ammunition in an argument they are having with you now. Is there a way to block or limit access to my account history?

I use sync and connect on mobile, but it's not functioning properly at all. Other instances works fine on these apps. Any fix?

So I've a few friends signing up to this instance and neither receive any emails. Managed to get activated but the password isn't working. since last night there's no sign of a forgotten password email. Have checked spam folder.

Edit: Problem solved. This post can be ignored.

I was made a mod of [email protected] but my account here on SJW doesn't seem to have gotten the memo. I don't see myself listed as a mod when I view the community through this account. However, if I view the community from my alt on another instance I do see my SJW account listed as a mod. Are there any known sync issues happening with lemmy.world? Or do I just need to be patient until things sync on their own?

Hi everyone!

On the surface, this update brings a handful of features integrating the extension with other tools and services. We have the first of many features from the LemmyTools userscript, as well as the support for Alexandrite and Photon frontends. You can also directly search for communities through Lemmyverse.net and for posts through search-lemmy.com, among other small changes.

The biggest change was behind the scenes. I've completely refactored the code throughout the extension. Now that we have a clearer plan for the extension, I simplified all around, such as consolidating most functions to a central utils.js file. I also reworked the settings, and unfortunately this means you may have to add your home instance again. Moving forwards, it should be a lot easier to maintain the extension and for people to collaborate, which brings me to:

Want to help?

All new improvements with v1.2.4

Is anyone else having problems logging in with Jerboa? It was working just prior to an update to 0.0.44.

Edit: tried to login with Voyager and want able to so I think the problem is server-side. I did notice I had to do a Cloudflare human check to log in on Mull.

Hello, I am trying to sign up on sh.itjust.works, and I filled out the sign up form, but when it told me it would send a verification email, it never actually sent it. I tried signing up again and am told the email already exists. I try to sign in and nothing happens, I dont get an error it just doesnt do anything. I have checked my spam folders and got nothing. I signed up on lemm.ee and instantly got the verification email, so it is clearly an issue with this instance in particular.

I'm not too concerned about the account being created here, as my goal was just to move away from lemmy.world due to it never being up, and since I did get an account created on lemm.ee I suppose I dont NEED multiple accounts across instances, but I wanted to bring it up in case anyone else is having this issue as well. I didnt see any sort of support contact information for the instance, just a link to lemmy.ml official support, so if there is a better way to communicate this issue to the admins/people in charge, please let me know.

Hey all,

Similar to the lemmy.world announcement, we have defederated from Rammy.

Want to discuss this more? I created a [Discussion] post for us to do just that.

.

Someone set up canvas.toast.ooo, a site like r/place but currently only open to Lemmy users. Does anyone want to help plaster our favorite satisfied seal on there? Canvas is open now through the weekend.

See [email protected] for info.

One you get logged in you can setup a template. Use the sh.itjust.works seal logo, width 200px, horizontal position 400, vertical position 0.

Here's the image URL: https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/4c082497-060b-40ba-a95b-67d668638629.webp?format=webp

Edit: I think I bit off more than I can chew with a 200px image width. New plan: update and complete the doodle started by @[email protected]. If you want to use the image as a template, size it to 50px wide and place it at horizontal position 48, vertical position 821. It lines up pretty well with the existing artwork.

Whenever I try to respond to Mastodon comments with this account, I only get an endlessly spinning loading circle. From my lemmy.world backup account however I can send the response no problem. Any clue why that is?

Hello all! I would love to bring my old subreddit /r/cybiko over to sh.itjust.works but can't figure out how to create a community! Is the ability to do so currently closed off or something or am I just being daft?

For some context, the Cybiko is this weird games console PDA thing from the early 2000s that was forgotten about almost immediately. I took over the subreddit around 4-5 months ago and had around 200 members that were somewhat active, but I privated that subreddit and nuked my account, so that's gone.

It says it sends an email, but the email never arrives. Tried a couple times over the last few days.

So, what happens if you're modding a few communities and you want to change instances?

Do you add mod roles to the new account on that instance? Would people keep the old account, and would they keep the mod status on the old account too?

Just wondering, since I'm considering moving to keep Lemmy sustainable as well as because of preemptive concerns at my own instance's implementation of implicit, untransparent policies.

Hello,

Just looking for a bit of help...

I don't want to clutter the other person's thread about this, but I'm not getting a confirmation email after signing up, so my account is created, but I can't activate it or sign in.

I checked my spam folder a few times today and I'm not seeing the email.
