Here we can discuss anything about this Lemmy instance/server itself.
Our XMPP support chat: Movim or XMPP client.
When uploading images from windows (but not from the mac) .avif files are not included in the supported image types, even though they in fact work. These are common for news outlets to use, and I'm manually uploading to get them used as thumbnails.
Known bug?
Hmm, no. I guess this is only a lemmy-ui frontend issue. Although I probably need to have another look at the pict-rs image settings for animated formats.
One of the Feddit.de refugees here. These monthly updates are great, keep up the good work! :)
Nothing to complain about, general appreciation post. Boffo people, well done!
What software does the wiki use? Being able to sign in with our lemmy accounts is really cool
Dokuwiki. I documented the setup here: https://f-hub.org/Solarpunk/dokuwiki-auth-lemmy
I still need to fix the issue with that users that have not set their display name or email address can not login though.
I've been here a few months but finally decided to make Slrpnk my home Lemmy instance. Mostly because I like the discussion topics and found myself browsing this site more than other Lemmy instances. My former home instance is just too unreliable and breaks federation too often and that's been the story since last June, a year ago now.
Is there a place to donate to help pay for hosting costs?
Is there a place to donate to help pay for hosting costs?
Currently there isn't, please donate to the Lemmy devs instead if you feel like contributing financially.
just saw this post show up on my feed, short discussion on resource usage:
It's for sure an interesting project for small or single user instances, but I doubt it scales well, at least in its current state of development.
After the upgrade, I wound up setting my theme to litely to get more legible fonts; the default theme has fonts that aren't pleasant to read.
I have no way to test it, but I think the font is mainly looking a bit odd on Windows devices. It is somehow optimized for Japanese letters and Windows doesn't seem to have good support for that.
I’ve been finding that the next button just reloads the first page again. Not sure if that’s just me.
Seems to work here as intended. Maybe some browser plugin issue?
I’m not using any extensions. I had a content blocker in place but turned it off and the problem persists. In fact I can’t interact with any of the interface at the top or bottom of the page.
Edit: I am using Safari. If anyone else experiences this please comment because it makes it very difficult to use the site currently and I have not figured out any cause.
Have you tried other browsers? I checked on Firefox & it works. Interesting bug, I hope it doesn't effect you for too long
I’ve tried Firefox on my desktop (works) but not on my phone which is what I browse on most of the time. I understand that Firefox on iOS is also based on Safari’s architecture though, and I don’t have space to install the app currently. Need to spend some time deleting or backing up photos but haven’t found the time since this issue arose.
I did find that voyager.slrpnk.net works so I have been using that since then.
I'm glad you found one that works :) ive heard lots of good things about voyager as a web app.
Also: I didn't know ios firefox was different than android firefox. Super interesting
Hi! Brand new, wondering if I could make a new community but seems like it's not going through, is there a throttle on new users creating communities or another technical restriction I may not be aware of?
Not that I am aware off. It should work. What is the community name you are trying to create? Maybe it conflicts with a community that already existed but was removed? This only hides them, but name conflicts can still occur. We regularly remove un-moderated communities, so it is not impossible.
One more upgrade thing I'm noticing: the way the UI elements move around repeatedly during post submission makes it much easier to accidentally double-post.
Yeah, there is something messed up there. For the time being, maybe use one of the alternative frontends?
One more oddity since the upgrade:
cross-posting doesn't work cleanly anymore.
When you click the cross-post button, it pre-fills the contents of the form for submitting to another community, but as soon as you select a community to cross-post into, it clears the contents.
Yes, that is a known bug with 0.19.4 I think.
Ok, I saw that.
Upgrade to 0.19.5 was a quick one. Please let us know if this fixed the main issues with the lemmy-ui interface on 0.19.4.
Can we use the movim instance for general chat with other JIDs, as in would it be an allowed use.
Yes? It is a fully federated XMPP account/client. Why do you think there would be a limit on that?
I don't think there is a technical limit, I attempted to frame it in that perspective. My question was more about maybe you set it up just for slrpnk.net users to chat about mod activities or similar and don't want folks using it outside that context.
If we gave that impression it wasn't intentional. But of course feel free to join our own groups chats as well.
