There was an issue with object storage. This was to test that it was working again!
The Atlanta Daily World is a local newspaper and the first Black daily newspaper in the US. Morgan State University is a historically black college/university (HBCU), and this community includes a newsbot that reads from the RSS feed of the newspaper.
Howdy, this is [email protected] - I am utterly horrified about what happened in Jacksonville to Mr. Woods. It is my sincere hope that our justice system identifies and prosecutes those responsible for what happened.
There were comments in this thread advocating for violence against law enforcement in response to this terrible news. I have removed and will continue to remove users and comments that violate the server rules against the advocacy/promotion of violence against anyone, including government officials and employees, on yall.theatl.social. Reporting on violence, as with the article above, does not violate any rules. However, this server will not be the source of threats against others in response to news articles and comments.
I think the archive.ph solution is probably the best. I am the keeper of the bots, 🤖 , so it's just a matter of adding more code to the script(s).
Yep! That's probably the ideal solution.
@[email protected] - would making it more clear in the post title help? I added ($)
in the title to indicate paywall, but I can just do (Paywall)
which would be less ambiguous.
Some/many people in the Atlanta area have subscriptions to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, so having that news source is helpful for us. But of course adding more info to post title would prevent wasted clicks for those without a subscription.
This shuts down the issue until the next scheduled session of the General Assembly. (Some) House Republicans wanted to hold a special session to move on the issue now; however, only the Governor can call a special session. And the Governor indicating his non-approval would likely make any efforts moot in the regular session in any case.
Glad to do so! Appreciate the questions and glad everything was sorted out.
The market is next to the "Beacon" development, at the end of Grant Ave (https://goo.gl/maps/9zcdhhq3u5Ca7vNX7) - super easy to bike to, but there's only one bike rack, so people sort of just lock bikes together, or to random objects. On the other hand, driving and parking there appears always looks like a shitshow, so biking/walking is the best transportation method in any event.
So, all updated - the issue is that Lemmy (currently) does not pull older posts or other metadata from a community from another server until a subscription is made to that community/server.
So when you join a community from another server, you're not going to see a lot, until that server "pushes" new posts to yall.theatl.social
That behavior may change with software changes, but it is what it is for now. The same issue occurs on Mastodon too. If you are on a larger server, you won't have this issue, because it's likely that larger server has been receiving posts all along.
I've reviewed the logs and it appears the issue is that some instances (such as the ones you were attemping to view) are using a newer version of Lemmy than the official release. The latest tag for Lemmy software is 0.18.2, while the last release is 0.18.1. I try releases and not tags, so perhaps dev forgot to do so.
I'll update, and presume that things will federate properly afterwards.
I forgot to mention, if you haven't already realized, that the upgrade was successful!
