- Lemmy.world is not loading, and I am encountering an error when opening a new page.

Please start by checking the following links to see if Lemmy.world is experiencing any issues:

- I am experiencing an issue with the client I'm using.

Are you using a client other than the website itself? Is the issue specific to that client? If so, please contact the developer of the app or web client you are using.

Here are some popular apps/web clients you can reach out to:

- I am unable to create a community, and I keep seeing a spinning circle.

Please check if the desired community name is available.

- There is a community I want to moderate, but the moderators appear to be inactive.

Please email us at info@lemmy.world or create a post in this community.

- Did we defederate, or did someone else defederate from us?

Visit https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world for information about defederation of any instance.

Alternatively check https://defed.xyz/ and enter "lemmy.world" to view a complete list of defederations.

- I cannot access my account.

For assistance with account access issues, please email us at info@lemmy.world. We cannot assist with these matters in the comments section due to privacy concerns.

- Why am I banned from this specific community?

Lemmy offers transparency, and you can check the modlog of the community to understand the reason behind the ban. If you have further questions, feel free to send a private message to one of the moderators. If you have other issues, please email us at info@lemmy.world.

- Can this feature be added to the website?

If you would like to request a feature to be added to Lemmy, please contact the Lemmy developers on GitHub or reach out to the developer of your preferred (web) client. Instances like ours cannot directly add features to the website.

For example, if the work of someone on Mastodon or Peertube is being discussed on Lemmy it could be helpful to ping them directly from the thread.

One of the good things about Reddit is you often have a question and there’s a post about it with a bunch of users answering and validating the answers.

I’ve tried searching posts in Lemmy and either the search feature just doesn’t seem to work or maybe nobody has posted that question before (which I find unlikely).

What’s the best way to use Lemmy like a search engine for answers like Reddit?

I've been trying to block this obnoxious spambot poster for months and nothing seems to prevent me from seeing their posts.

Is there a reason for this? Is there a way I can actually block them?

Hello, a while ago (a real long while ago) my friend fxomt@lemm.ee and I requested and gained ownership of Fallout@lemmy.world and Falloutmods@lemmy.world respectively. Since then, they seem to have gone missing, as far as having many accounts deleted across platforms. Seeing as this is the case, I believe it would be best to bring the community under my ownership.

So I found an article about a journalist losing his job for asking why only Russia should pay for reparation and not Israel too . The comments is full of apologia for genocide, so I start answering multiple comments. The mod givesomefucks banned me claiming that I am spamming in an old post but the post is new

It's still at version 1.10.2.

Github released are published as RSS feed as well if that makes discoverability easier.

Rogue mod (ttrpg.network)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by Goferking0@ttrpg.network to c/support@lemmy.world
 
 

Looks like there's a mod going rogue on the announcements comm.

Serious is removing and banning anyone pointing out how terrible of a move defedederating from db0 and AN would be, or anyone pointing out his removals. Calling them disinformation comments then banning them for same reason.

https://lemmy.world/modlog/5

Unless this is expected behavior where anything that a mod doesn't like becomes disinformation?

Edit 18hrs after post.

No answers so again apparently this is accepted behavior. Sadly not shocked

Edit 2, 2days later.

Still nothing but insults from a head lemmy world mod. Really great look for lemmy world

Edit 3, 10 days later.

Mod in question retaliated by banning me instance wide for reporting tos breaking comments, and then apologizing to said account here.

@ruud@lemmy.world @MrKaplan@lemmy.world @lwadmin@lemmy.world

Is this acceptable behavior for mods in your opinion? Retaliation and attacking users reporting rule breaking comments?

As the title says ^

Also when it does load it is in Chinese language for a second before changing to English. This has been happening for probably a few months. I use Photon on another instance and not have any issues (https://p.lazysoci.al/)

Mod deleted account, so now its unmoderated...

It's currently unmoderated and a sensitive topic.

So regardless of if it's me, someone should be a mod over there.

I would like to apply as a moderator to these two weather related LW communities...

!Weather@lemmy.world
!tropicalweather@lemmy.world

The current state of these communities are only mildly active. There is no immediate urgency for a mod. I am just a weather enthusiast.
My experience -- I currently help moderate on c\funny on sh.ithust.works for all of the last 3 years.

Happy to lend a hand where I can.

I mean you guys and gals can heavily watch it. But I asked a question a while back how come dish does not have a playlist feature. If someone called up dish or invented a way is that piracy? Or the latest hacking news between the black white and gray hats? There will be not a person be able to say hay download here or there. Or if you would allow us to just not do exploits but link an article that says how you can get more space on the cloud and google hasn;t spotted it or some such. I can explain further.

/c/Urbanism has been abandonded for over 2 years now, modded by user "KillAllPoorPeople" - name aside has also been unavailable for 2 years.

I'd like to take over Urbanism and turn it around. (Note this is my LW account for modding, similar to /c/Satisfactory, my alt for @scrubbles@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech

Thank you!

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

I have a community and there’s 3 of us. What’s a good way for us all to communicate. Discord and matrix are lesser preferred options. Is there any options native to Lemmy for mods to communicate in a group chat style?

The situation and why I haven't (successfully) added myself as a mod can be read about here: https://lemmy.world/post/33922948

If possible, it would be great to also add @AbNormalHumanBeing@piefed.world - which is the account I am usually active on.

EDIT: Easy clickable link to the community !peertube@lemmy.world
