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

Thanks to Kaity Blåhaj PIx and Blåhaj Tube are up and running!

Feel free to check them out!

For now, it's just me moderating, so applications to join may not be instant. If we start to get busy, we'll onboard some more mods in the future.

Enjoy!

this is NOT related to that recent post here about blocking .ml.

i already kno that i can block users.

ive had very bad experiences from a certain... instance i would like to block entirely. i have been on the lookout for users commenting and interacting on the communities i care about, and that instance is... not so important to me. som of these peeps hav been evil to me before...

can i just like - block em? like - the entire instance?... or do i have to nicely ask the Ada <3 to... block it for every blahaj fren? (i dun want that! u peeps shud be able to interact with whoever u wan! i dun wan to be ur dictator <3 )

As posted about recently in !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works and !fediverselore@lemmy.ca it seems that @nutomic@lemmy.ml's stance on transphobia has not changed and his apology only seems to be that he was sorry he got caught and that someone leaked the DM. This is concerning for an admin of Lemmy.ml and the leader of the project. I don't think this means we should stop using Lemmy, it's open-source and even if they embed donation links, they can be stripped out in our fork. But it does make me wonder if we should consider defederating lemmy.ml on that merit. Since if they hold such views on trans issues, it's very likely they won't have any desire to act on that type of transphobia being expressed on their instance.

I know that Lemmy.ml has and does handle overt transphobia well, but I can't speak to their ability to handle less overt or thinly veiled transphobia, and this incident doesn't inspire much confidence either.

Edit: Since some people haven't seen the original. I decided to include it here. Warning, it contains transphobia, if you don't want to see that, don't open the spoiler.

CW: Transphobic talking points

I'd really like to hear Feedback from Blahaj's local community on this, I'm not as interested in outside opinions here so please try to refrain from top-level commenting if you aren't from lemmy.blahaj.zone (I will ignore them if you comment anyway from a remote instance).

does anybody know why image previews sometimes don't show in the web client?

i'm using firefox mobile on android, if it matters.

I'm not sure how pervasive this is, but Maeve@kbin.earth's comments don't seem to have federated. I can only see 24 of them from 9 months ago, but when I go to kbin.earth I can see the user has over 3000.

I'm definitely not a federation expert, so there may be a good reason for this. I wanted to point it out in case it was part of a larger issue.

i just wanted to thank whoever approved my account. i was not expecting such a quick approval.

This post is "FYI only" for blahaj lemmy members. It is not a debate, and is not intended for non blahaj lemmy users to weigh in and offer opinions.

I recently received reports of a feddit.uk user espousing transphobia. Specifically, this was a feddit.uk user refusing to use the word cis, repeating the "adult human female" dog whistle, and claiming that trans women are not women. I approached a member of the feddit.uk admin team and raised my concerns and sought clarification of their stance on posts like this, where the transphobia is mostly dogwhistles, and "civil disagreement" on the validity of trans folk.

I was told by the feddit.uk admin that their preferred response is this kind of transphobia is to "sort it out through discussion and voting". However, the comments in question are currently more upvoted than downvoted, and little "sorting out" has occurred. The posts remain in place.

At this point, the admin stopped responding to my messages despite being active elsewhere on lemmy. When it became clear they were ignoring my messages and had no intention of removing the posts in question, I made the decision to defederate the instance.

I know some folk agree with the feddit.uk admins approach of pushback through discussion and voting, but this instance is not designed to be that kind of space. Blahaj lemmy is meant to be a place where we can avoid the rampant transphobia universally visible on nearly every other social media platform, and where we can exist without needing to debate our right to do so.

This release fixes a security vulnerability which allows an attacker to delete images uploaded by other users. You can read the details in the security advisory. Thanks to @Nothing4You for discovering and fixing it.

An improper uploaded media ownership check can result in inadvertent deletion of media when a user is banned with content removal or purged. This can lead to deletion of media that was not uploaded by the banned/purged user. This also applies to purged communities, in which case all media posted in that community will get deleted without proper ownership check. This is limited to media with an image/* content-type returned by pict-rs.

Hi there, I was trying to link an article written by Julia Serano in 2011:

https://juliaserano/.blog[no space]spot[dot]com/2011/09/transsexual-versus-transgender.html

(sorry, it replaces it here with removed as well, imagine there is no space and make the dot into . in your mind I guess)

When I click Save, it replaces blog[no space]spot[dot]com with *removed*:

https://juliaserano.*removed*/2011/09/transsexual-versus-transgender.html

Any idea what's going on?

EDIT: when I tried to submit the title of this post as blog[no space]spot[dot]com becomes *removed* I couldn't submit and I got a warning message saying "slurs" - I'm not familiar with blog spot dot com being a slur ...

The wonderful @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone has developed a script to help deal with DM spam.

With this script, when a user is permabanned, DMs sent from the account in the previous 24 hours will automatically be marked as deleted.

We have set the time to 24 hours to ensure that the majority of pre-existing (non spam) DMs are preserved in the event of an account being banned. That being said, if you lose a DM to this script that you need recovered, please reach out to myself or Kaity, and we can restore it manually for you!

hi, I suspect if I did some searching I could find my answer (so apologies up front for being lazy and not doing enough research up-front 🙊) but I have noticed every time I type : and then start typing the name of an emoji, for example :sob: (i.e. 😭), there is a list of emojis that start to match what I'm typing:

The emojis rarely match the auto-complete I'm expecting (which is based on doing this in other contexts like Slack with standard unicode emojis), and often there are custom emojis in addition to the standard ones that if I accidentally tab and hit enter to accept, results in an embedded image.

Incidentally, my fingers somewhat automatically start to type emojis like :sob: and this auto-complete feature is essentially "broken" for me by the large number of custom image emojis (notice the emoji I'm looking to autocomplete when I type :sob isn't showing up in the top part of the list).

Admittedly this breaks my flow, but I'm not complaining as much as wondering what this custom image emoji feature is, whether it's a Lemmy thing or an instance specific thing, and how much other people use it (do other users like these custom emojis, and their easy / automatic finger flow is accustomed to these options)?

The custom emojis are cute, tho 😄
