Edit: So I went back to my Reddthat tab and it worked again, then after skimming through comments of a few posts, I get that again. 🤔

Is this a new "feature" to stop Lemmy addiction? 😆

Jokes aside, please lemme use reddthat again, am I just browsing too hard?

Hi all, Hi Ticoombs,

Firstly, thanks so much for making this great instance. I'm completely new to Lemmy; I really love how open, tolerating, and friendly it feels on this specific instance!

Secondly, only a question: is it correct that some instances have upvoting & downvoting, and this instance only upvoting?

If so, I'm curious about the rationale behind this. I actually don't have an opinion on this. Just curious.

If this question has already been answered, I'm sorry, I couldn't find it.

Thanks!

I never got my verification email, and need to be sure my account it properly working. What can I do?

I've been noticing reddthat going down for a short time (a few minutes or so) more than before - is everything okay?

https://lestat.org/status/lemmy shows our uptime at 88.82% right now - not horrible, but not great either. We of course stunt need to be up 99.9999% of the time, but still.

Is there anything we can help with besides donating? I like it here, so I want to make sure this place stays up for a long time 👍

The PS5 community recently moved instances and joined lemmy.world, but for some reason I am unable to make any comments from our instance - the loading indicator circle just keeps spinning after I press "Post" and nothing goes through.

They are federated with us and we with them, so it should work, but it doesn't. Tried with different browsers, selecting the language, leaving it undefined - no change. Post went through on first try from my Kbin account though - is it an issue with lemmy.world or with reddthat?

Here's the address of the community: https://reddthat.com/c/[email protected]

Is appreciate any help or suggestions (which might also be "deal with it" if it's their issue and not ours;) )

EDIT: seems I can reply to another person's comment just fine, but can't post top-level comment. This is weird and I'm not sure why it would happen...

EDIT 2: Checked it with other communities on lemmy.world and I experience the same problem - cannot post top level comments at all on that instance it seems.

I haven't found this feature anywhere. It's often used on reddit to make sure a post's content doesn't disappear if a subreddit gets removed or is shut down for some reason. (edit: or recently wasn't accessible because a subreddit went private in protest or otherwise. Or, more normally, you want a single content page to share in multiple communities for easier edits to one source, etc.) You just post a link to the original. The only thing I can think of to do it here (or on a different instance) is create a community that only myself can post to as a mod, but unsure if such a thing is frowned upon.

Here's a screenshot of the problem on dropbox

When I hit "reply" on someone's comment (in this case a post all the way over on lemmy.ca: https://reddthat.com/post/350705) it just grays out, and never posts the reply.

Plus, there are more comments on https://feddit.de/post/1392810 than show up on the reddthat version. I imagine that's probably just something I don't understand about lemmy?

I know switching to my phone and finding the comment on liftoff or wefwef allows me to post, which is why I'm hoping one of you knows an exact workaround, including how to use wefwef or liftoff to easily find the comment I'm trying to respond to.

Update 1:

It works on Google Chrome! Reddthat can post comments on other instances just fine using Google Chrome. It's only Firefox that's having this problem right now. (Meaning it's not actually a federation glitch.)

Update 2:

It was my bionic reader extension on firefox. Sorry Tiff. I did not mean to put you through all that debugging for a problem that wound up being a bad extension on my end.

Did somethig happen to the server? Posting ot from Kbin since reddthat is completely inaccessible to me now.

Hey,

I am new to Lemmy. So I created an account here, started to subscribe to some lemmies, then I ran into an issue it seems.

I wanted to subscribe to: [email protected]

As you can see, reddthat is missing some posts (well, all of them).

Will they appear over time or is this a bug?

Generally, can users expect not to see some posts, sometimes, due to the federated nature?

An interesting link I stumbled upon and thought to share. We are actually also there (pretty hard to see on mobile though), and the concept seems interesting - might even help to diagnose issues in the future? Just an idea from a tech luddite;)

There are a couple of communities I've come across on online lists / forums that I'd like to join, but they aren't showing up on a search despite the usual workarounds. I suspect they might just be hosted on instances we aren't currently federated with, but is there a way to check this so I know if this is the case or if it's due to a bug?

Hi i am new here and got 2 question the first is I created an account on lemmy. World but I can't log in after that night so I decided to make a account here but I was surprised to see that the username I used in world is also be used in redthat so how lemmy will differenciate the 2 account and the 2nd question is what will happen with my account if redthat will shut down the server

Howdy. Im trying to create Norse (mostly to make sure it doesnt fall into the hands of racists or something) Im on the mobile site. I fill in all information but when i click create nothing happens. It auto scrolls me back to the top of the page but i have no warning/indication i did anything wrong. It just doesnt do anything

Maybe this is an option I'm missing somewhere? I find that clicking anything in home/all is a guessing game as to whether it'll keep me here or go to a completely different website. Since I have Reddthat in a tab for easy access, this is very slightly frustrating. 😅

If it's not a feature, might I suggest opening all external links across Reddthat in a new, separate tab?

Hello new friends! Of course I'm a new member having abandoned the shit show that has become reddit and am starting to get the idea of different instances and building a new feed for myself. I saw a post that had some Lemmy equivalents of popular subreddits such as /r/pics and /aww and what not but I've since lost it. I saved the post for later and this morning my saved post was for a comment in an unrelated post. I'll figure out what I did wrong eventually but could anyone help me find this post again? I've been searching all morning and having no luck figuring out where I was when I saw it or how to get back

I am getting these messages fairly regularly lately. No idea what causes them, they just appear randomly when I go to a different page on the site.

Maybe I'm not using it correctly but I'm hiving issues using the search functions to find communities. The community i was trying to find was the Reptiles and amphibians community on mander (https://mander.xyz/c/herpetology). I'm not sure how to sub otherwise. Cheers!

It might be useful for admins to know that the malware bytes browser extension blocks the site. Maybe they can submit a ticket?

Hi! So nice to not feel the weight of corporate oversight weighing down communication. It is a small thing, but so comfortable to click on a link from the main feed page, and have it open the post link in a new tab. Then, when I'm done, I can close the tab and be back on the main page feed. If it's here and I missed it, apologies. If it isn't, please take this as a requested feature, thank you!

I remember it was on the list of blocked instances, but now it's not,, and my page was just flooded with content from there - was that intentional?

Trying to better understand how federation works - from reddthat, I can't see the pine tree and Siberian hogweed posts in the screenshot. Both those users are from instances that we're federated with.

Is it time based? I only joined that community today, and those posts are from days ago.

Edit: some hours later, I can now see those posts posts from this instance 🥳

I saw this post about how kbin.social is now federating: https://reddthat.com/post/32223

When I click the example link provided there, [email protected] I get an error message.

404: couldnt_find_community

What am I doing wrong? I'd like to subscribe to some communities over there if possible.

When I make an account there's the checkbox that says "allow NSFW content" or something along those lines. I generally don't care, but it would be SUPER helpful to be able to switch it on and off and then refresh. For example - if browsing at work, or while out and about where people might see my screen, I don't wanna click something mindlessly and have tits/porn/blood/etc on my screen. If I could turn it on and off that'd be an awesome safety valve.
