Anything from https://lemmon.website is me too.
The instance I’m on is defederated from links.hackliberty.org. I’m not certain why, but I looked at it to find it’s a place for conspiracy theories, including ‘9/11 Truth’ stuff, so it’s probably that.
There looks to be a bit of indecision about the right instance for a new ‘privacy’ community, so I’m just mentioning this in regard to that.
That’s kinda funny, in a way - unsophisticated prevention for an unsophisticated attack.
Everyone trying to use the Internet normally suffers due to this kind of stuff.
Nothing yet for today (Sunday), because the crawler at lemmyverse has failed. More info is here: https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/actions/runs/9434433542/job/25986550190 - it’s bailed because there are 6011 communities missing from that run compared to the previous one. I’ve seen that number before, which suggests it’s a single instance with that many communities which is failing to give a response.
EDIT: the midday run worked though.
You’re right about the cause: Lemmy’s front-end isn’t giving its backend enough time to do everything it needs to do for an unfamiliar commentary.
It works better if you copy / paste the link into Search. MBin effectively redirects all these links to its Search anyway, so maybe that’s an option.
lemm.ee have upp’d to 0.19.4, and presumably turned on the Image Proxying thing - this is what I get for: https://lemm.ee/post/34040618

It’s probably a temporary hiccup, but Lemmy has bigger problems with PeerTube videos, in that you can subscribe to channels from there, but - last time I checked - they don’t update with new videos.
For comments, PieFed could do with more work too. Direct communication between us and channel owners works okay - example post - but a comment from, say, a Mastodon user wouldn’t show up here. The reason is that, unlike Lemmy, PeerTube do not ‘Announce’ anything other than new posts. This solves the Lemmy/Mastodon problem where Mastodon users can subscribe to Lemmy communities, but then have to deal with individual ‘boosts’ of every comment in reply to a post. Instead, PeerTube directly send an ‘Update’, with endpoints for a ‘Replies’ collection and a ‘Likes’ collection. Currently, PieFed does nothing more than check that the post body hasn’t changed when it receives these updates, but - technically - it should also check these endpoints for new activity. It might not be worth doing this every time though, maybe once a day would be enough.
I think virtualizing the python environment (with venv) has become quite common, although my only evidence is that the server I’m using to send this was written in Python and uses one.
I’ve had that problem too (messing around with test instances) - for anyone else wondering why: it’s because the RSA keypair for me@mydomain has changed, and remote instances fail to validate message headers signed with the new private key, because they’re still using their copy of an old public key.
The Jedi are known for their disarming nature
That’s great to hear. There’s zero API at the moment though, let alone a stable one. PieFed is a monolith, without the backend / front-end split that necessitates an API.
It easy to add one, pending the addition of some missing features and a code reorganization that needs to happen anyway. At that point, hopefully some interested app developers will also be involved, to shape the API into something they may wish that other app’s APIs were like.
Probably.
At one point, Yord mentions her mothers, so I wondered if it was that was part of it too. Female show runner, too, of course. I could probably delve into YouTube and see what’s stirred the bigots up, but I’d rather not get depressed finding out.
Yeah, on some level, I think that’s always been part of the appeal of it - I’ve used it for ages.
Yeah, I think you’re right. And I’ve played KOTOR fairly recently too. I might just be misremembering something from a podcast.
My initial response was: that sounds a bit like a ‘fake community’, something for which I thought the consensus was ‘bad idea’. Moreover, it’d arguably be a fake community full of fake posts.
Lemmy has 2 types of modlog - one for each community and one that’s instance wide. Would the plan be a community just for the instance, or something that merged actions from both?
Ha. Fair enough. I’m still of the view that there was some kind of ‘no knives’ rule until recently.
The Issue on GitHub - it was dormant for a long time but it looks like the new plug-in system has opened up some possibilities for it.
It seems to be quite a lot for the server it’s hosted on though (which is not the snappiest). There are, of course, still areas in the world where - for one reason or another - people still are effectively on dial-up speed-wise.
Buster should turn their attention to the size of the images uploaded to servers like this: 1.1M is arguably overkill for this one.
Hello. This data is sourced from lemmyverse.net, which uses its own crawler, distinct from the lemmy-stats one. The underlying issue is likely the same, so I’ve filed a bug here (past experience suggests that the dev won’t be that quick responding to it though)
