- 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.

I click continue in the content warning box and it just reloads the page and the content warning prompt box reappears, is there some secret thing I have to do first?

It has become apparent that @rodneyck@lemmy.world has been manipulating votes by voting with multiple accounts on other instances.

At the very least, on this post they have upvoted it using multiple accounts with the same username on different instances, as well as multiple votes in the comments of that post. It's very likely they are doing the same on all their posts.

They are also harassing other users by digging up comments/posts then lying about them in order to slander the other person.

The comment chain on this thread shows this behavior:
https://lemmy.world/post/32414918/18033196
(Note that there is an unmarked NSFW image from that user in the comments. This was used as an attempt to harass another user.)

-- Edit --
@rodneyck@lemmy.dbzer0.com is now here with some pathetic spin and conspiracy bullshit. They are trying to act like a victim like the whole issue has to do with AI when it's entirely about them harassing users and a painfully obvious use of alts for manipulation. They even went so far as to post a porn image, in an attempt to harass another user, in a comm that has a clear rule against posting porn. The problems with this user has nothing to do with their sad use of AI.

@DeezDohNutz@lemmy.ml is clearly another alt of their's. Not only did they never post anything until now and show up here at nearly the same time and use the same phrasing and ridiculous arguments, notice how they have the same exact text in their user bio.

Here is DeezDohNutz@lemmy.ml:

And rodneyck@lemmy.dbzer0.com:

This is just sad.

Here's a question about lemmy.world: Does it send a referrer, when you open a link there?

Because feddit.org (which is also an #Lemmy) does, but lemmy.world seems to not do that? Is that right and if yes, intentional?

Hi, I need to find out who the founder of the c/politics community is, since I had a post removed from there and the ModLog doesn't say who did it and there was no reason given to act on. It looks like abuse of the mod bot that may need to be removed.

See title. The modlog has one entry in it, which was an admin -- not the solo mod -- removing spam 4 months ago.

I've mostly been a .world user, but have this alt account on .ca as a backup. I logged into it to make sure I didn't have anything in my inbox, and noticed that everything loads so much faster. In both cases I'm using the browser interface from my tablet, sorting by all. On .world, there's a pause before the text comes up, then the thumbnails and graphics slowly populate. On .ca, it all pretty much loads instantly.

Is it just the number of users being a lot bigger? More community activity? Hardware differences? Running different software versions? A combination of these? I'm curious.

I want to see new comments posted in all communities but the list of new comments isn't changing? It's showing new comments posted 7 days ago.

Currently if I paste a link to a Lemmy.World post on reddit, the user is taken to the comments section - and the image post (eg. the point of the actual link), is a tiny thumbnail.

This is now how to get people to cross over to Lemmy and other federated services.

Hello and good 1am to you all,

I just joined Lemmy.world today and am using the Boost app. Please let me know if it is a matter of waiting or if I need to take action to see everyone's awesome profile pictures.

I have "show avatars" toggle to ON in my profile settings.

Thanks everyone! Xoxo

With the news that lemm.ee is shutting down, I'm trying to add my new account as a mod to the communities I mod.

I tried to add @irelephant@lemmy.world (one of my alts) as a mod to !ireland@lemmy.world but its not working.

Edit: I was able to do it in phtn.app instead.

There is one user from another instance that I have Blocked, but their comments still show up in posts. I have tried unblocking and blocking them again, and their posts are hidden on their profile when blocked. Examples below are seeing their comment, clicking on their name, and seeing that they are already blocked. This is the only user where this is the case, and I've blocked their name and instance (not lemmy.world) but can provide it on request.

On conservatives@hilariouschaos, they shared a Babylon bee meme saying marines were invading a 3rd world country meaning California I pointed out that Californias existence allows their racist red states to exist. Despite me being "upvoted" with citations that were asked for, and them being negative, my posts were deleted. I wasn't aware that hilariouschaos was as bad as .ml or worse.

The sidebar should be behind a link or tab.

We desperately need a "disable inbox replies" feature, or at least a place we can turn ALL notifications off.

The "search -> for communities" drop down, should just take you to the communities list (which has a search bar, and actual links to the communities, rather than a directory of them).

Does anyone have any more they'd like to list in the comments?

Hey all I've recently took over !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world and there's mods who've been MIA for a while. How can I remove them as mods?

Is there any way we could get functionality for alt text to automatically generate if its included in the metadata description? Hopefully this is an acceptable forum to ask.

the community is !trump@lemmy.world

~~please, admins, remove me from the modlist as I have no desire to be affiliated with, much less moderate, such a community~~

Edit: If anyone wants to help maintain a cards community, let me know.

Coming from lemm.ee which is about to shut down. I run the pretty successful television community on there. I see the community on here is abandoned in favour of it. Well lets go full-circle.

lemmy.world (the normal design) shows the first page without javascript.

The buttons to switch pages don't work without javascript in the new design, but it still shows more than old.lemmy.world currently does.

old.lemmy.world used to have working page switch buttons without javascript.

The community currently has no mod and has previously attracted concerning content.

If a suitable volunteer mod who is interested in the community can be found I will happily step aside, however until that time I will moderate the sub in good faith and with clear rules.

24
 
 

Every now and then, Lemmy World sends me an automated DM saying there are unresolved reports in the moderator inbox for the communities I moderate. Every single time, the moderator inbox has not only not shown any indication that it has something in it, it hasn't actually had anything in it.

Not in my app (Jerboa) and not on the website. Replies, mentions and actual DMs properly show up, and notify me. Mod reports don't. You're better off straight up messaging me than reporting posts in communities I serve since I'm always around and the report inbox is busted.

Since uh, there doesn't appear to be a mod there, and there's a junk post.
