Lemmy Support

If you navigate off the page by accident it doesn't always ask an "are you sure?" to protect your work.

This is a problem on other forums + SM, e.g reddit, but seems prevalent on lemmy.

That's all I've got to say. If there's eventually some solution or improvement to this it would be nice.

anyone know why my comments in this is thread disappear immediately after posting?

So I recently started builduing a tool to download Lemmy posts as raw HTML. I am using bash for this.

I got all of my other code working so far, but the problem is, that when I fetch a command just from the post id, the entire formatting is quite fucked. An example:

Does anyone know how I can fetch the post with curl (or if you have any other CLI programm, that could do this, feel free to recommend them to me), after everything has been loaded, so that in the end I can see the post as I would normally see it through the web interface.

Searching the web hasn’t helped me so I’m hoping for either links or some person to person help 😊

I’ve got accounts on lemmy.world, mastodon.social, aussie.zone. Others too.

I feel like I’m doing this wrong. I’ve understand that I can ‘syndicate’ my feeds across platforms. But I don’t know how. Can I get an ELI5 on the ways to see my curated content from across the different platforms?

Thanks.

Is this expected behavior?

Prior to enabling "Private Instance" and disabling "Federation enabled" settings, user profiles were also publicly accessible at https://<instance-url>/u/kryoseu.

Making the instance private and disabling federation made profiles inaccessible without authentication. However images are still exposed.

When I feature post on !invincible@lemmy.world, it is only featured on my home instance sh.itjust.works. Post also automatically unfeatures itself after some time.

Hello, I'd like to try moving my Lemmy instance to another server.

I've read this: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/backup_and_restore.html and it seems relatively straightforward. So I was wondering if anyone has done it and if there's any particular advice to keep in mind.

The images, which are the "heaviest" part, I have in S3 so I don't have to move them, and therefore the backup/restore should be less complex and shorter, I think.

Are video files cached or federated in any way?

I want to make posts that include video, and those videos I wish to upload on my own webserver to not rely on external links or expiration dates.

But I fear for bandwith, and I want to know if the videos will be cached on the instance or if every user will be a full web request of the video (that I can of course mitigate via good compression, and/or having a dedicated CDN that won't empty my pockets).

I follow @gonzalo #pixelfed
&
@lemmy_support #lemmy

but I don't see their posts on my #mastodon UI instance. Why & how to fix, debug?

------------------------------------------------------------

how can I publish a new lemmy thread from my mastodon, should I tag
@lemmy_support or
!lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
dessalines@lemmy.ml
@LemmyDev
will this trigger automatic re-toot from https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/_support bot account ?

-------------------------------------------------------------

When you follow 100 accounts & 100 tags, how do you filter meaningful incoming posts in feed ? is there query language to prioritize, or some alternative mastodon client that does that.

------------------------------------------------------------

How does lemmy reputation point distributed across multiple instances, eliminating sybil, fake news , etc ?

I noticed on a comment that I got 3 "points". Is it like upvotes?

Here's the link to the original instance : https://blog.kaki87.net/c/kaki_blog?dataType=Post&sort=New

Here's an example comment from another instance : https://0d.gs/comment/5903730

Here's the same comment on yet another instance : https://jlai.lu/post/21115531/15881483

But from the original instance, the comment doesn't show up.

What to do ?

Thanks

Hi, I have lemmy.world blocked for browsing purposes because you know, it's mostly trash.

However, I want to post a question in !summit@lemmy.world because I'm having an issue with the app where I can't seem to access the toggle to hide posts from bot accounts.

Is there a way to whitelist a niche community without unblocking the instance it's on?

I've clicked on everything and I can't find a setting for it. It's infuriating! I'm using the Connect app, btw.

Edit: I've changed to Summit and the settings are much more straightforward.

For example, I've come across this:

^[1]^

If I PM someone how can I see my PM and the response if there is one?

Next to every post in the feed, there's a preview image between the voting buttons and the post title.

Is there a way to hide that preview image?

steps to reproduce:

1. create a community
2. change its name
3. load own user profile

expected results:

• community's new name is displayed both in the "Moderates" and "Subscribed" boxes

actual results:

• new community name is displayed in the "Moderates" box
• community's old name is still displayed in the "Subscribed" box

additional notes:

• the renamed community's new name becomes visible after subscribing to some other community
• sorry for posting this here, but, i don't want to give microsoft my telephone/ID/firstborn/etc which is required to open an issue on github these days

How can one configure their Lemmy instance to reject illegal content? And I mean the bad stuff, not just the NSFW stuff. There are some online services that will check images for you, but I'm unsure how they can integrate into Lemmy.

As Lemmy gets more popular, I'm worried nefarious users will post illegal content that I am liable for.

Hello, I came here searching for a post I made in a community, I think the community was "Rollerblading, and my post was a review. However, when I go to my profile there is nothing under "posts". I also checked for other posts that were in the monster hunter world community, but I can't find anything, and it seems like the communities no longer exist. I don't care about other posts, I would just want the inline skates review. Is there a way to retrieve this post?
When I go to my profile, it still says "6 posts", but now under "posts" there is only this one.

I just created a community but left it without a wallpaper (or whatever it's called here). A little later I found out what the wallpaper should be and now I wanna add one but I can't see any buttons about editing the community. So: how can I add a wallpaper image to an already existing community?

I know that Lemmy.world has the old.lemmy.world but is there anyway to get that same UI for Lemmy.ml?

I am relocating from lemmy.one since it is shutting down. Does the "Import Settings" function work? I tried using it, but the page reported an error at the bottom left of the screen. I tried again yesterday and then again today, and the message at the bottom left of the screen just says something like "please wait awhile before importing or exporting settings."

Hi folks,

as my current instance will shut down soon, I need to transfer the ownership of my tiny community to my new account on a different server. I know I can make my new account a moderator. But will the new acc then have 100% of the administration options that my current account has? Or will it only be a second-class role? I'm used to 2000er forum/boards where admin accounts carried way more privileges than mods. Like a mod could also never delete the whole thing.
