I've created a few new communities to post comics to daily, and I'm starting to hit rate limits pretty consistently now when uploading images. Would it be possible to increase those?

... and I'm getting notifications about replies I saw a week ago.

This is something that I couldn't find an obvious setting for, but someone pointed out that the descriptions are different on different instances.

This post has a German (?) description on midwest.social, but on programming.dev it's in English.

In my settings:

• Interface language is Browser Default.
• Languages has Undetermined and English selected

All other descriptions on posts are in English, only youtube seems to be different.

Has anyone else been experiencing performance problems for the last few weeks? About half my requests time out when using Jerboa. The site on desktop is a little better but Lemmy still performs pretty poorly compared to how it has in the past.

Is this an instance issue or an issue with Lemmy itself?

I can't do much at the moment from my home in Ohio, but just wanted you all to know we stand with you and are thinking about you.

Also, fuck the police.

Free Palestine!

Hey folks, got off Reddit early last year but have been procrastinating on finding a replacement. Finally got around to joining the LemmyBinVerse and figured I would join a more-regional server.

Big fan of cheese, the outdoors, and cheese outdoors. Dry, sarcastic humor is a love language. Shitposts are great, in moderation. I had an ICQ but I don’t remember my number.

I guess that’s all for now.

Depressing to see 196 get flooded with neoliberals, libertarians, and apolitical assholes standing against Palestine. Seems like most of them are coming from lemmy.world but still

Right now to avoid troll posts only mods can post. If you are interested in being a mod let me know. If you just want to post something let me know as well and I'll post it for you.

Upgraded to 0.19.1 and checked lemmy.ml as an example and everything is coming over from both sides.

Noticing some federation issues with lemmy.ml for example. Investigating...

Update: supposedly, there is a fix for the 0.19 federation issues we're currently experiencing in a new RC image. I'll try upgrading later today.

Checking federation for 0.19

Please let me know of any issues you may experience. Right now I just occasionally see some toast errors pop up.

Are we going to defederate right away, see over time, or stay federated?

There are reports of spam coming from specific users on lemmy.blahaj.zone. I stumbled across some very unpleasant NSFL content on an unrelated post. I wouldn't reccomend it, but you could check [email protected]'s profile for an example if it hasn't been taken down yet.

It may be worth temporarily blocking that instance until they get a handle on the situation.

We finally got 'em! 🦀🦀🦀🦀

Following this comment: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4039#issuecomment-1773482259 I updated the timestamps in the instance table of midwest.social's database. We'll see if that fixes anything. Fingers crossed. For example, the updated timestamp column for lemmy.world was sometime on 10-30-23.

In the past several days, I've noticed that comments that I make on this instance to cross-instance communities started to take up to several hours to propagate to the community's home instance, and now do not seem to propagate at all.

I've noticed the issue on lemmy.world, lemmynsfw.com, and lemmy.ml. Several comments I made today in a programming.dev community went through more or less instantly, though.

Has anyone else noticed this?

If you go to c/[email protected] through midwest.social, it shows fewer subscribers in the sidebar than if you go straight to lemmy.world (https://midwest.social/c/[email protected] vs https://lemmy.world/c/homeimprovement). Also, there are posts that only show up when you look at c/[email protected] through the midwest.social instance, and are missing from the lemmy.world instance.

For example, this post: https://midwest.social/post/4242666 is nonexistent if you look at the homepage on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/c/homeimprovement. However, you can see it from the homepage on midwest.social: https://midwest.social/c/[email protected].

My instance seems to be having issues federating content. Trying to test this out.

In the last couple of days, none of the comments I've made to kbin.social posts seem to be making their way over to that server. Are there any known issues with federating with them?

Hello beautiful people,

Today I had the pleasure of working with @[email protected] to set up midwest.social's email properly. HUGE shout out to them! Gmail and other emails should now work with this instance's email notifications instead of bouncing.

Update: a small issue has been found with the email server that's causing some of the emails to not get delivered. Will take a couple of hours to be fixed. Hang tight.

2nd update: issue has been resolved.
