So earlier we were assigned mod for the community "queer defense front" on this instance.

The person didn't ask us to be mod or communicate with us at all, then promptly banned us for asking people kindly to not use ableist language.

The rules clearly said zero tolerance for hate, and ableism is hate to us. Plus it seems the person didn't ban those who were being hateful to us (at least not that we can see in the modlog), so double standards we guess?

If you want something specific you have to actually, you know, communicate.

We don't care about the ban (it's not a community we particularly care about), or whatever, just the sheer strangeness of it all and the fact that the person didn't apply the same rules to others as they did us.

We've blocked them and the community. But yeah, maybe don't assign people mods if you've never even asked them or communicated what you want? That's not a gift, that's a terrible responsibility you haven't given them any information or preparation for.

Sorry if this is not the right place to pitch this. Feel free to take it down.

This Halloween, Friday Oct 31st, is the release date for the new Riftbound game by Riot Games. My interest in the game is from a place of loving card games. I've been a huge card game fan since I played pokemon as a kid. I played alot of Hearthstone in college and after. Then in the last few years I've played Magic the Gathering Commander. Riftbound mechanically seems like a very solid game and I'm super excited about it.

If people would like a place to discuss the game, strategy, post relevant news articles, deck ideas, etc let me know. I think a dedicated community would a great way to achieve that.

If you want to see an example, take a look at the lorcana community I moderate on lemmy.world.

I could make the community or someone else could. But if I make the community, all I ask is for at least one other person to help moderate it. Single moderator communities can run into issues if that one moderator makes a mistake. So to avoid that single point of failure I would like to work with people to make such a community function smoothly. edit: typo

Also a community doesn't have to be the go to solution. We could post Riftbound memes in 196. Thanks for reading this and I'm excited to hear what people have to say. <3

What a victory; good job, Kansas Supreme Court!

was trying to find out if we are intentionally defederated, I don't see any hilariouschaos communities showing up in the Blahaj search, so I assume they aren't federated - just not sure why and was hoping to learn the lore 😅

i've noticed lately that there seems to be federation issues with lemmy.world. i don't receive updates from communities or users there, and looking at my profile from lemmy.world, it's missing a few comments that were posted in the last days, when usually it's much much quicker to update.

even when looking at .world communities on here when not logged in, they seem to be stuck in the past! for example, from here the last post from !games@lemmy.world is from 5 days ago, but on .world there are many more recent posts.

does anyone else have issues with them? are we blocking them, or are they blocking us?

Unfortunately iOS 26 removed the ability (idk if this is true it just stopped working for me) to start a voice memo without conformation. But other than having to active Do not Disturb and pressing confirm the shortcuts are hands free.

When I try to access lemmy.blahaj.zone I get Safari asking if I want to download it (???) and Firefox just times out. The server status on Lestat shows as fine though, and I don’t seem to be having any trouble loading pics from LBZ.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey, sorry if this doesn't go here. But my posts and comments seem to be getting no interaction, which is unusual. I was wondering if piefed.blahaj.zone had shadowbanned me for some reason, though I don't know why that would be.

does the piefed instance get updated automagically?

i was just curious cause i always see changes but the version still says 1.0.1-dev. hopefully you're not having to deploy all the time! i was just curious :3

I came back to lemmy after a short break and lemmy.blahaj.zone (the default client) doesn't load, and on photon and alexandritte upvotes are broken

We keep trying, filling in the form and using the code from the link place and it just keeps telling us that there's an error no matter what we do. Could someone or somemany please look into it? Thanks!

So using lemmy via the main web ui is very slow to load, and then sometimes only loads a few elements recently.

Can this be fixed?

For me at least. lemmy.blahaj.zone doesn't load but phtn.lemmy.blahaj.zone does.

Not sure if this goes here; apologies if it doesn't.

I created an account to try out Piefed, and the above message shows up on my homepage. However, no such email exists in my inbox. I've checked my spam folder. Not sure if any functionality is missing because of this.

All help appreciated.

the estonian community is on there. also why is it defederated if it is?

I just made a new instance but I have no clue how to federate with others like you, an inclusive community and see their posts and such. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

I can get to this instance via app, but it seems impossible via any browser.

Edit: This is effectively solved by this browser plugin I found that lets me swap instances with a single click. It turns out there is no way to make an RSS feed for remote users between instances, so this is a close 2nd in terms of convenience.

For example: I want to follow this user's posts because they post regular hand-crafted news posts. The RSS link noted in the screenshot gives me this error pasted at the end of this post.

I tried going to lemmy.world and their RSS feed button works, but I don't want the .world link in my RSS feed, as I want to comment on the post sometimes. Is there any way to get the blahaj.zone user RSS feed working for non-blahaj.zone users?

Thanks in advance.

The error (in .json format): 'CouldntFindPerson: CouldntFindPerson\n 0: lemmy_routes::feeds::get_feed_user\n at crates/routes/src/feeds.rs:254\n 1: lemmy_routes::feeds::get_feed\n at crates/routes/src/feeds.rs:193\n 2: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request\n with http.method=GET http.scheme="https" http.host=lemmy.blahaj.zone http.target=/feeds/u/PerfectDark@lemmy.world.xml otel.kind="server" request_id=7991f179-8c64-43cb-8eba-0247d85cef70\n at src/root_span_builder.rs:16'

Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

Does anyone know why blahaj.zone (sharkey) keeps giving error 504? It gave me one yesterday then sorted it and I'm getting another one now? Considering moving to transfem.social because this is a bit silly.

If my account is on Blahaj and the community I moderate is on another instance like lemmy.world, and the user is from an instance we defederate from like hexbear, I won't see the hexbear user's comments (or even their user if I search for it) from my Blahaj instance, and so I don't see a way I can moderate their comments on the lemmy.world instance I moderate.

Does this seem right? Is there any workaround?

(I guess I could make an account on the same instance as the community I moderate just for moderating that instance?)

whenever I fill out my bio and press save, it doesn't save. halp
