The UI should at least display an error message.

Ran a search & didn't see a thread on this, although there may be a Git issue raised on the subject. Nevertheless, I think it would be nice to have a setting from the profile & per post/comment to mute notifications for replies to posts or comments, as desired.

On Reddit there was no such account-level option so far as I'm aware, so you basically had to make it a habit to disable reply notifications on every, single, post & comment if you didn't want to see your inbox/notifications lit up.

I know this may be a little counter-intuitive, but after awhile I honestly don't want to see that someone randomly replied to one of my comments or posts from who knows how long ago. In the cases that I might, though, I'd leave the notifications on, of course.

Right now I have to put this in a custom Stylus CSS override to have good readability when using a compact theme:

.post-listing {
    line-height: 1.5 !important;
}

The CSS needs to be "fixed" as it seems to go against typography best-practices.

Web UI. I always find myself having to go to the next page first after opening a post and then going back to the timeline. Seems like a bug

I've tried a few communities between lemmy and kbin this way.

When i'm logged into lemmy(or not) and view some kbin community it shows me there is either scarce community activity or none at all. While if i visit the original community on kbin it shows a lot more.

The example with the pc gaming community works well. lemmy shows the last new post was 13 days ago. and kbin shows multiple posts made only 3 hours ago.

Another example: Stargate through lemmy shows 0 posts while kbin has low activity but does have posts 3 weeks ago.

Can somebody confirm this? Is this a bug?

Thought I'd share some ideas I've been floating, to implement a unified branding across all instances. Instances could opt-in for a consistent identity across the platform, using an official trademark with their instance address embedded below it. Instances that use "lemmy" in their second-level domain name would simple append their .tld (such as .world), or use .sld.tld when "lemmy" is accessible from a subdomain (such as .dbzer0.com). Seemingly unrelated domain names, such as beehaw.org, would just omit the leading dot.

The navbar background itself could be further customized by the local instance. I imagine something like a watermark of a globe for lemmy.world, or a watermarked maple leaf for lemmy.ca, etc.

Obviously this is a very rough take on things (including the art style), and I'm just brainstorming ideas at this point.

What are your thoughts?

EDIT: seems like BrikoX figured it out, cross-instance searches only work when logged in, I filed a feature request to make this more clear to the user https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1862

I spun up my own little instance, and I'm able to search for the community from some other instances but not all of them and I don't know why

works: https://programming.dev/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.mods4ever.com%2Fc%2Fmeta&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

fails: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.mods4ever.com%2Fc%2Fmeta&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

the curl command works fine

curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/c/meta

maybe Lemmy should dump some debugging info about these searches into the javascript console so we can debug these more easily?

Am intrigued.

Title says it all. I’m just trying to figure it all out.

I know wefwef offers an importer for the export offered from Apollo but i was too late and with Apollos shutdown i can't access that menu.

Are there any websites or tools out there that read through the subs you're subbed to and offer similar alternatives that already exist on the Fediverse?

Thanks.

Any future plans on developing lemmy video upload support?

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Major Changes

This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these. Additionally this version includes a fix for another cross-site scripting vulnerability. For these reasons instance admins should upgrade as soon as possible.

As promised, captchas are supported again. And as usual there are countless bug fixes and minor improvements, many of them contributed by community members.

Upgrade instructions

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

Support development

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for almost three years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. No one likes recurring donations, but they've proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.

When disabling the "show read posts" option it also hides the posts made by oneself in one own's profile.
I think it would be better to keep own posts in your own profile always visible.

if i filter by any "hot" or "active" it looks like there are no post in the community. If i filter by anything else it shows all the post history. Is this a bug?

So I am hosting an instance for myself and I have noticed that when I go into Admin Settings (cog symbol) I get a beefy list of Banned Users on the right but I didn't ban any of them.

Is this just unintuitive UI?

The way I thought this works is when I, as admin, ban user from my instance then that user won't be able to log-in here anymore but when I ban a user from other instance then anything from that user won't show up at all on my instance (kind of like shadow ban, but only for users of my instance).

E: I am the only admin/mod on my instance - the only user able to ban users, so there is noone else who could have banned someone without my knowledge.

Upd: Bans are federated and it makes sense, thanks /u/stown@sedd.it

As we are concerned about privacy, I am curious just to understand if lemmy can be at some point exploited by someone to profile its users.

We have piracy content on the frontpage, but no corporate owners who could do the producers bidding and delete it.

We not only have community run subs, but whole servers.

What a time to be alive.

I've observed this with a few communities today, both local and federated. Is anyone else experiencing this?

If I report something on a remote community, where does the report go?

I know that as an instance admin, I'm getting a report. But do the moderators of the community and the server admins it is on also receive a report?

This video is more from a users perspective and less from an admins! I am trying to up my production quality as I can, let me know what you think!

Also I shared this with my test account a minute ago and deleted it, sorry for the double share!

Might be useful for example for creating bots, various dashboards etc.

EDIT: Lemmy Go is now available for Chrome and Firefox

I had a shortcut for subreddits, where I would just type r beekeeping in the address bar and it would take me to /r/beekeeping right away. For Lemmy, this isn't very convenient, since you gotta specify the instance for any communities outside your own instance.

I'm trying to make a browser extension to bring back that kind of quick navigation. In this case if you type lc beekeeping in your address bar and press enter, it will navigate to the most popular community it finds in any instance, and it will show that community in your local instance.

If you don't press enter right away, it will show multiple communities that match your query, so this can also be a quicker way to find new communities without knowing the exact name.

I'm checking if people would be interested just to see if it's worth the trouble to polish it up, add user settings, and publish the extension to the stores.
