Allow mods of comms to upload custom CSS files that can override user-set themes

Will we ever get to see removed posts by clicking through the modlog like we used to?

Requirements: Violentmonkey browser extension. Tampermonkey and Greasemonkey might work as well, but I haven’t & won’t test them. Note also that I haven’t & won’t test Chrome or Edge, either.

// ==UserScript==
// @name        lemmy-delete-tagline
// @match       https://lemmygrad.ml/
// @require https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@violentmonkey/dom@2
// ==/UserScript==
VM.observe(document.body, () => {
  const node = document.querySelector('#tagline');
  if (node) {
    node.remove();
    return true;
  }
});

Edit to add: Maybe it needs some work: when I click on the homepage icon from another page, it fails to remove the tagline. I’m an old who doesn’t understand how progressive web applications work. Maybe I need to remove the return true and also tune how often the observer observes. Or maybe there’s some trigger I should hook it up to. Simply removing return true does seem to work, but I have no idea if it’s at the cost of any appreciable performance.

Edit to add more: !companero@hexbear.net suggested that I just use a uBlock Origin filter. I tried it and it works. It’s as simple as:

lemmygrad.ml###tagline

I'm not on Lemmy daily, still I'd like to check it out two times a week, but there is currently not a proper way to search per X number of days, it's either one day or one week. Which is odd when you can search by three months, six months and nine months before you get to a year. While I'm happy these options are available, it would make sense to have one extra option between "one day" and "one week". I've stopped checking Reddit more than weekly, however I would still like to visit Lemmy more often, yet it's awkward when you miss a day and then have to sort by week.

I've just blacklisted the instances listed here. Hopefully this means we won't be receiving more spam for the time being (but do keep reporting if the list turns out to be incomplete)

@OCRBot@lemmygrad.ml has been out of commission for a long time, but is now ready to serve again.

When you submit a report for a post or comment from another instance, it gets sent to us as well as that instance's admins and the relevant community mods. Unless the content is particularly heinous, we usually just mark the reports as resolved and leave the decisions to that instance's admins or that community's mods. E.g. if you visit other instances, you're likely going to find someone both-sidesing the genocide in Gaza out of ignorance, and I personally prefer (other admins might disagree) not to ban them for something they posted on another instance (again, unless it's particularly heinous, e.g. cheering for "Israel") since they may eventually come across Lemmygrad and learn something.

Basically, just keep in mind that reporting content from another instance will usually be ignored by us, so it's typically only worth it if it's against the rules of that instance or community

Is there some way to filter the modlog by community or instance? The federated modlog is a bit hard to go through.

I've noticed that when I try to view the literature community at hexbear.net via this account and my usual Lemmy client, it is missing almost all posts, but there are many posts I can see if I just open hexbear.net in a web browser.

Any idea what is going on there? Sorry if this is a known issue and I'm just out of the loop :(

I considered replacing my profile picture, so I went to my settings and tried to upload a new one. At first it looked like it was working, but when I refreshed the page after clicking ‘Save’, nothing happened.

So I turned off my content blocking extensions, allowed Opera to permit trackers, advertisements, and protected content, and I retried to upload my profile picture.

{"data":{"error":"rate_limit_error"},"state":"success"}

I decided to modify my browser to accept all cookies, and this time I tried browsing outside of private mode.

{"data":{"error":"rate_limit_error"},"state":"success"}

At this point I thought ‘fuck it’, switched to Microsoft’s awful Edge browser, and tried to upload my picture from there.

{"data":{"error":"rate_limit_error"},"state":"success"}

Piss, piss, PISS!

ETA: I figured out what the problem is. The page didn’t want to save because the description had too many characters in it.

Some years ago we used to post weekly development updates to let the community know what we are working on. For some reason we stopped posting these updates, but now we want to continue giving you information every two weeks about the recent development progress. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

We've been working towards a v0.19.0 release of Lemmy, which will include several breaking API changes. Once this is ready, we'll post the these changes in dev spaces, and give app developers several weeks to support the new changes.

This week @nutomic finished implementing the block instance feature for users. It allows users to block entire instances, so that all communities from those instances will be hidden on the frontpage. Posts or comments from users of blocked instances in other communities are unaffected. He also reworked the 2-Factor-Authentication implementation, with a two-step process to enable 2FA which prevents locking yourself out. Additionally he is reworking the API authentication to be more ergonomic by using headers and cookies. Finally he is adding a feature for users to import/export community follows, bocklists and profile settings.

@dessalines is currently implementing a redesign of the join-lemmy.org website. He is also keeping the lemmy-js-client updated with the latest backend changes 1 2 3.

@phiresky optimized the way pagination is implemented. He is also fixing problems with federation workers which are causing test failures and performance problems in the development branch. These problems were introduced during a complex rewrite of the federation queue which was recently finished, and is thought to allow Lemmy federation to scale to the size of Reddit.

@SleeplessOne1917 is implementing remote follow functionality, which makes it easy to follow communities from your home instance while browsing other instances. He is also fixing problems with the way deleted and removed comments are handled .

@codyro and @ticoombs have been making improvements to lemmy-ansible, including externalizing the pict-rs configuration, adding support for AlmaLinux/RHEL, cleaning up the configuration, as well as versioning the deploys. These will make deploying and installing Lemmy much easier.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

• Liberapay (preferred option)
• Open Collective
• Patreon
• Cryptocurrency (scroll to bottom of page)

Normally I would trust ContentBlockHelper with something like this, but for some reason it isn’t working right on Lemmygrad and I’m tired of trying to fix it and all that I want to do is turn off a bunch of annoying images.

lemmy.world is a victim of an XSS attack right now and the hacker simply injected a JavaScript redirection into the sidebar.

It appears the Lemmy backend does not escape HTML in the main sidebar. Not sure if this is also true for community sidebars.

Edit: Fixed, thanks nemesis! I had to select the languages in my profile settings on firefox mobile, though it seems that isn't the only way to do it.

This is the post: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/773089

If I open the link I can only see the title of the post. I can see that there are 11 comments but they don't show up.

The only thing I can think of why that is is that the post was made with the English language option instead of Undetermined.

But other people could see it and pinged me (otherwise I wouldn't have noticed that the post existed in the first place)

Do I have misconfigured settings? I see that in profile settings there is a language selector thingy, but I can't figure out how it works.

We're currently under a DDOS attack, and are doing our best to fix it.
