Wie wil er moderator worden van deze community? Ik ben de enige en dat is tegen mijn eigen regels ;-) Er gebeurt hier nog niet veel dus kost weinig tijd.

The 0.18 version of Lemmy was announced. This will solve many issues.

But we can't upgrade yet because the captcha was removed, and captcha relied on Websockets, which are removed in 0.18 so despite the devs agreeing on my request to add captcha back, this will not be until 0.18.1. Without captcha we will be overrun by bots.

Hopefully this 0.18.1 will be released soon, because another issue is that the newest version of the Jerboa app won't work with servers older than 0.18. So if you're on Lemmy.world, please (temporarily) use another app or the web version.

I added some known issues with websockets / spinning wheel to the known issues post

Omdat je aangeeft niet te kunnen posten

Got reports that posting here failed and no new posts her for a day (which seems strange for News)

Please don't ignore. Or do.

I don’t have much time for moderation; who would like to moderate this community? I think 2 mods would be enough for now, but they can also add more when needed.

Questions and issues can be posted in this community.

I wrote my fist post about Lemmy.world. When June is finished, I'll also include Lemmy in the financial update on the same blog.

So some spam signups just happened (all [email protected] format e-mail) This caused bounced mail to increase, causing Mailgun to block our domain to prevent it getting blacklisted.

So:

• Mail temporarily doesn't work
• I closed signups for now
• I will ban the spam accounts
• I will check how to prevent (maybe approval required again?)

Stay tuned.

Edit: so apparently there is a captcha option which I now enabled. Let's see if this prevents spam. Registrations open again.

Edit2 : Hmm Mailgun isn't that fast in unblocking the domain. Closing signups again because validation mails aren't sent

Edit 3: I convinced Mailgun to lift the block. Signups open again.
