this is a bug in lemmy-ui. it works in alternative interfaces, e.g. at https://t.lemmy.world/c/إسلام.

the bug report about this was just recently closed due to a lack of external contributions to address the issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2207

please remove the phishing link from this post immediately. you can defuse it e.g. by putting it in a code snippet and replacing the dots with [.], e.g. netprocesse[.]com.

lemmy currently doesn’t have granular federation controls. the only option right now is to defederate from mbin instances, but other instances might still announce your users’ votes to mbin instances. the more hacky way would be to also block federation related http requests from mbin instances to prevent them from retrieving user profiles, which is probably the most effective method that could be used.

piefeds non-federated votes are a user setting for the default value and users have the option for each vote whether it should be federated. see also https://piefed.social/post/982478

as explained in this post, the original implementation of “private voting” has already been replaced with non-federated voting, which addresses the abuse concerns, as it’s then limited to just the instance the votes are cast on.

it’s the software, similar to how you’re using lemmy right now

no notification of a moderation event

lemmy.world has notifications for local users or users in local communities for removed content.

piefed is a fair bit younger, the first commitin the git repo was on Fri Jul 28 02:07:44 2023 +0000. it has only in recent months started really picking up some traction with several lemmy instances already creating piefed instances as well.

did you see an orange/white cloudflare error page or something else? i tried searching for it in our server logs but i don’t find it.

you may however have hit an outage we had for several minutes around an hour before your comment due to running out of memory on the host.

lemmy doesn’t support subscribing to users, but you can subscribe to communities the same way you’d subscribe to other communities from other instances.

what kind of error did you see and what did you click on? a link to a post?

piefed doesn’t support animated media yet, iirc it doesn’t work in posts either

pixelfed supports signing in with mastodon, not sure about others

pretty much, yeah. different people, different programming languages, some feature differences, etc. but still the same content.

nobody needs to move to another platform. both lemmy and piefed show the same content, think of it more like using a different client that also has different features. both lemmy.world and piefed.world will continue to exist.

not that i know of. old.lemmy.world is a whole separate user interface, but a similar look can probably be achieved with themes alone.

no, accounts are completely separate.

piefed does have some social auth support, which is currently also being worked on, but lemmy is not an auth provider that can be used with that. once social auth in piefed becomes more stable we will consider enabling it for supported providers.

the communities !rollerblading@lemmy.world and !monsterhunter@lemmy.world have both been deleted by their creators indeed.

here’s your rollerblading post:

Hello! I’m going to make a short review of the USD Aeon 80 Team inline skates, aimed at those who are considering buying them but are indecisive, like I was. To give some background, I’ve set foot in an inline skate one year ago, after last skating 15 year prior as a kid, when I only skated around the streets.

So last year I was searching for a skate which would allow me to cruise around the streets, use them for commuting, and occasionally learning some tricks at the skatepark. The skate that naturally presented itself was this skate, as it has large wheels (80 mm), and a soulplate and H-block for grinding. My biggest concern was about the unibody construction where the frame and the boot are one piece of plastic, i.e. no replaceable frame. Finally I decided to buy them, and here are my thoughts:

They are perfect! And I say that from a standpoint where I rarely go on the streets, but instead I go in the skatepark on average once a week throughout the year, and have been doing that for the last year (I very quickly switched the preferred way of usage). Anyway, for a level of skating where you don’t grind 24/7 on everything, the plastic will not wear down, so there is very little concern regarding the unreplaceable frame - it will not wear down as quickly as you may think. I’ve been practicing grinds in the park for the last year, and very little wear occurred. Granted, the grinds were on metal pipes and not on concrete, but still. If you’re not a hardcore grinder, the frame will not need replacement anytime soon

One other concern was if the grinds were even possible for a complete beginner like me, given the small H-block. Absolutely! I’ve learned the soul, acid, mizue and pornstar which require the H-block, and am in the process of learning the frontside (on which I’m not getting wheelbite in practice). The only problem I’ve encountered so far regarding grinds is the royale, but the reason for that is the height of the soulplate (and also the fact that I’m a beginner), which makes it hard to bend the foot so much to the required angle such that is touches the rail. Having said all that, for a beginner like me the “small” H-block did not present any issue.

Even though I now ride mostly in parks, I still commute with them and occasionally cruise around the city, and they are absolutely good for that too. No complaints here. You can normally do all the curves and power stops without touching the ground with the soulplate.

Now some additional comments. The main buckle… it is a good buckle which you need need to cut at the proper length so that it does not get in the way. However, when you skate with you legs too close together, one buckle can attach on the buckle of the other skate, and so one skate gets loose. Luckily, even though I experienced this multiple times during my sessions, I never fell because of that, the skates only get loose so you need to rebuckle. This is the only “complaint” I have for these skates.

The 45° buckle also needs to be shortened to the appropriate length to not get in the way (can also be seen from the above picture how long it is).

Lastly, regarding sizing. My feet are 266 and 268 mm long, and cca. 10 cm wide, and as per official recommendation I got the 41-42 and they fit PER-FECT-LY! Also, I recommend watching this video about new skates, includes fitting and other things.

To recap, the main concerns that I see people have about these skates are:

• non-replaceable frame
• small H-block

Both of these in my situation did not present any problems, even though I too had big concerns about them, but decided to just go for it, and now I’m happily writing this review.

Hope this helps someone clear their doubts and make their decision :)
For the last year I’ve been logging my sessions with all the tricks I’ve been learning, so I can share that too if you’re interested, and to further strengthen the argument that they are a perfectly good skate for the park!
All in all, I’ve been using them at least once a week throughout the last year, and these were all the observations I made.

P.S. I’ve been planning to post this on reddit, but given the circumstances I’m writing it here, in hopes to give a little boost to this community regarding content and visibility.

i think the graph might not be fully accurate for the current hour? looking at it now it doesn’t show that significant of a spike anymore. i don’t see anything in our logs about federation issues from LW to p.d in the last 15 days.

I don’t see us going down anytime soon, and at current user numbers I don’t think there’s going to be a major difference in moderation workload with the influx of users compared to what we already have, but it really is not great for decentralization. We already try delegating the majority of moderation to community moderators where applicable, where on a lot of other instances the admin teams seem to be more involved in addressing community reports on admin level as well. For the most part we’re dealing only with instance level topics in the admin team and provide some additional tooling to improve report notifications to community mods. There are even various benefits from a moderation perspective when users are all local and not remote, as with federation a lot of signals that would allow various types of abuse are unfortunately lost. That said, I would still prefer if there were more stable and larger instances overall, while not having a single instance stand out as massively larger than any other one. Friendly “competition” is almost always beneficial for everyone involved.

lemm.ee being the second largest instance and the shutdown only being announced less than a month before is unfortunately also not something that gives people looking for a stable instance much confidence. I hope this won’t scare too many users away from Lemmy and that most will just find a new instance in the Fediverse.

Instance moderation and moderation in general are unfortunately tasks that can be very challenging at scale, even with just a few thousand users, especially when dealing with drama. It’s not really a surprise that there are somewhat frequently posts from larger instances looking for new admins, while older admins on the same instance are becoming less active. Even if people aren’t exhausted from their involvement, their circumstances in life may change, or they may no longer be interested in Lemmy as a platform in general, leading to a number of reasons why admins may not be as active as it seems when looking at the list of admins in an instance sidebar. It’s often a thankless job with a lot of things happening in the background to deal with spam, trolls and other issues, which most users won’t even see when done right.

tbh it’s probably not going to be too complicated to switch to 1.0. the current api is generated from lemmy-js-client, but 1.0 api has an official openapi file. if there is a decently usable openapi generator for go that would probably not be too complicated to swap in instead and adjust the api calls in mlmym code.
