Right now, deleting a post on Lemmy only hides it locally, but doesn’t fully remove it across the fediverse. I understand the technical reasons behind this, but from a user perspective it feels incomplete.

Platforms should give users the ability to fully delete their own content, or at least send a federated deletion request to other instances. This is important for privacy, safety, and user control.

Is full deletion planned, or is there a technical limitation preventing it? I’d like to understand what’s possible and whether this feature is on the roadmap.

Hello, I reported this post earlier due to the OP (who is also the community mod) advocating for rape. Presumably, OP/mod saw the report and decided to backtrack, changing:

...unfortunate no one shoved their finger inside the pussy of ruchi tiwari...

to:

...unfortunate no one shoved their finger inside the sussy (a Japanese dish )of ruchi tiwari...

which should be visible in the post's edit history. Figured it was worth mentioning here to provide additional context in case it wasn't immediately clear what had happened.

More of OP/mod's super reasonable responses to someone else in their community:

I wish ur mum stays safe and never get grape,i wish ur sis never accidentally slip and manage to land on my dick so my dih land in her pussy, i never want these things to happen.i also never want something bad like nirbhaya ,happens to ur mum. Stay bless boi

Additionally, when they banned me, it came with a very kind note:

reason: Brahminism filth not allowed ,go get ur mum fucked.brahmin bastard

which is obviously super cool and chill.

I recently decided to try out Piefed.World, after using Lemmy.World for so long.

I'm a community mod, and, previously, when using my Lemmy account, the community information showed me this:

But when I access it via Piefed, it shows me this:

Is there an issue with federation, or......?

The community name is !okbuddyrosalyn@lemmy.world

I made a post with the title something like:

"AI bubble will pop" is the new "This year is the Linux year". Changing my mind.

My intention was to start a discussion about people saying AI bubble will pop but it never happens.

It was meant to be provoking to motivate people to try to argue.

The thing is the post completely disappeared from my profile, I can't even see it anymore? Is it normal?

I don't think this is reason enough to permanently ban me. I didn't even get a warning, mute or something.

Today, my account only shows the following for this community: https://lemmy.world/c/leopardsatemyface

If I enter "Private Mode", or if I log out, I can actually see far more stuff.

Is there any account setting that might have caused this problem?

I would like to request to take over moderation of !horrorgaming@lemmy.world.

I’m a big fan of horror games, and it’s sad to see such a large community abandoned. There haven't been any posts for about six months and there are currently no moderators, even though the community still has over 1700 subscribers.

I would like to revive it by encouraging discussion, sharing horror game news, highlighting indie titles, and making it feel welcoming and active. I’ve already worked on some artwork for the logo and banner, and I've put some thought into structure and ideas for recurring threads and resources. I’m ready to get things moving if this gets approved.

Thanks!

Are the admins aware of this behavior? If so, is anything being done to remediate this issue?

I'm watching the Babylon Bee "sketch" called "Cooking with Communism", and I'm pretty sure the Babylon Bee were misinformed about communism because I think it's NOT always about famines and such.

I mean the Babylon Bee didn't know about any libertarian forms of communism such as Left communism, De Leonism, council communism, syndicalism, Libertarian Marxism and anarcho-communism. I think the only reason why communism is being treated as a scary thing is because of Stalin.

I also think the reason for those famines in the USSR is Stalin bureaucratized much of the Communist Party. Maybe I'm just throwing words together, but that's how I think is the reason.

There's NO punchline in that "sketch", and if there is, it would've been "100 million billion bajillion dead". Is there a Lemmy community for cheesy and bad videos like that?

Since I'm the only one posting and mods are not active, I thought modding the low profile community, add couple info etc. to make it more accessible.

This is photon version 2.0.0 (outdated) and has the youtube embed videos broken with an "Error 153" https://photon.lemmy.world/post/lemmy.world/42101659

The newest version work perfectly https://phtn.app/post/lemmy.world/42101659

Edit: SOLVED by Cantaloupe877

I turned this setting on and that fixed the pages for me.

Have been experiencing an odd sort of error for a while now, stubborn me using a lazy workaround and F5ing the page instead of seeking a more concrete solution, but it's limiting my access to content in the linear sort of way that I had before. I'd appreciate any insight as to the source of this error.

The main page (https://lemmy.world/) initially loads correctly as per user selected attributes (Post/Comments, Show Hidden/Hide Hidden, etc.) as before, but once the bottom of the feed is reached and [Next] is selected, nothing happens.

The page simply cycles, appearing to try and load the following one while displaying greyed-out text field where post titles, link source, poster username, community are normally displayed on a successful load. After a minute or two, the page loading completes - minus the content. It's simply blank with only the static headers available (Rainbow Mouse symbol/Lemmy.World, Communities, Create Post, etc.)

Looking to transfer ownership of a community on lemmy.world between 2 accounts, both on lemmy.world. I see the option to appoint a mod, but not the option to transfer ownership. How can I go about this?

Thank you.

I was notified at my ani.social account of a report in !sanfrancisco@lemmy.world

As explained in the message, I cannot view reports in my ani.social account, and have to have a native alt on lemmy.world

I created an alt !zabadoh@lemmy.world promoted it as a moderator…

But http://lemmy.world/reports still results in an error page.

Please advise…

I'm wanting to add another account of mine on another instance as moderator in communities I mod here. I don't want to have to go and drop comments on old threads or anything to be able to do it. I see there's an API for it

https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/post_community-mod

but I can't see how to get an API key. I've seen some indicator that Lemmy has a developer dashboard where I can find my API key, but I don't see how to access the dashboard.

Any guidance?
