I remember finding out about lemy a while back but i never really came, but now i understand the importance of this place. there are these mindflayers, these tentacle gorgon beings that want to put their version of the story into everything. they are afraid of upvotes that decide themselves. remember aaron? he was the original luigi.

dear lemians, we need to advertise this website, based on our free love of free information towards sabachtan gnosis. this isn't just another website, this is the religion of freedom.

let's make it happen, from a cyberpunk past to a solarpunk future.

ps holy smack this website has "avesta" as a language. that is pure dopeness.

Hello, I've been using this server for a few months and it's been very pleasant. I like it here, everything works great and the admins @[email protected] and @[email protected] seems like chill people. After hosting my own lemmy instances a couple of times over the years I know how trying it can be, both technically and otherwise.

Thank you for hosting and maintaining lemy.lol, I hope 2025 will be as nice as the last 3 months of 2024 has been.

We have been under troll attack for a while now. For this reason, I am giving up on the open registration policy for a while.

I will also add a rule for extremist users. Even though I care about freedom, I don't like moderation duties very much :) These users must find a new instance that matches their identity.

We’re also looking for an admin who can volunteer to moderate. They should be someone who has spent a few months in our instance, has a clean moderation history, and is active. In short, they must be someone we can trust. @[email protected] and I are busy these days :)

What is this?

For all you Reddit refugees this is like r/place.
For all who don't know what that is either, this is a public, well, canvas, that will be freely accessible to anyone with a Fediverse account (specifics on the main post, don't worry, Lemmy is included).
You'll be able to place (this is not place!!!) one pixel every certain amount of time on the canvas, either in an empty or an already used spot, overwriting it in the latter case.

Where is this happening?

Right over on https://canvas.fediverse.events/

Announcement post and other related stuff:

• Main post: https://toast.ooo/post/3740832
• Community: [email protected]

When can we participate?

On the 12th July 2024, or 2024-07-12 for all you ISO lovers!

Why should I care?

I don't know, it could be fun and it's not like you have to do it alone, it's actually way more fun to partecipate alongside your fellow fediversers, sooo... monke together strong?
If you have some

This instance performs spectacularly. Admin is always on top of everything. No drama, and I have high confidence that this instance won't disappear without notice.

Our admin does not get enough appreciation, so big shoutout and thanks for your hard work ❤

I will upgrade the Lemmy version to 0.19.4 on Sunday 10:00 UTC. Therefore, we’ll experience about 1 hour downtime.

Normally, I do not announce these version upgrades, but since the database will also be upgraded and migrated, down time may increase in case of a problem.

I'm tired of removing spam posts from these two communities for the last 2 months. With the decision we made with Quazar; We're removing these two communities until Kbin's moderation improves.

There is almost no real human post, so I don't think we'll lose much. You can see the situation in home instance: https://kbin.social/m/opensource https://kbin.social/m/fediverse

Hi, new here. Came over from .world after they banned communities again.

One thing I am noticing here is a 2-10s load time on inline images. Is this a common thing?

We're having some issues sending emails (thanks to Amazon). Therefore, I manually accepted the existing email verifications and moved to manual verification for the registrations for now.

Also, I am proud to celebrate that we have exceeded the 500th number of users 🥳

As you know, we were affected by the federation delay problem at 0.19. Lemmy developers made fixes for this, but they haven't released the new version yet.

I selected the commits with these fixes and ran that version on Lemy 2 days ago and the problem seems to have fixed according to Federation state tool.

Glad we finally got rid of a mud solution like restarting the server periodically :) Please contact me if you encounter any problems about this.

or do we want to keep this as a mostly user-auth instance?

I was thinking of creating something similar to "findAReddit". There doesn't seem to be a big one around. It could become a directory that other instances frequent. Are we willing to handle something like that?

It is obvious that the single-administrator platforms does not survive. I asked @[email protected] for help for this, and thankfully he accepted.

For those who don't know; He is the person who uses lemy.lol the most (most posts, comments). That's why it seems like there aren't many people to trust more than him :)

For an instance that has 366 users at the moment, I think 3 meta communities are too many :) Therefore, I merged the posts to the [email protected] community and now everyone can post to that community 👍

I noticed this instance in the All tab. It has 5 users in total but also has around 35k posts. It has posts specifically about Jesus, Christianity and a little bit of Covid.

In general, I defederate harmful instances (full-bot, CSAM, spam-infected etc.) immediately while keeping the ones people may not like but not that harmful like lemmygrad, hexbear to their own choice.

What I want to ask here is, should we defederate from this instance as whole or leave it to the users? Like are we have any benefit from this instance?

If Lemmy had a feature like default blocklist, I'm sure I would add this one there. The community that bothers me the most is: [email protected]

I apologise for being in beta for the last few weeks. I didn't think it would be such a painful process. I will remain in stable from now on unless something extreme happens.

I think the title says it all. Basically, when a new comment appears on your targeted post, it sends you a PM about it.

@[email protected]

Usage

• Subscribe to a post/comment: just reply the post or comment and mention the bot. Or send the link to the bot via PM.
• Unsubscribe from a post: send PM to the bot with stop text and link of the post like stop https://lemmy.ml/post/1234
• Unsubscribe completely: Send PM to the bot and add stop text to your message. It will unsubscribe you from all subscriptions.

Note: the bot sends only one notification per post. It waits for the previous notification to be marked as read for new comments.

Made with @[email protected]'s lemmy-bot project 🙏 Tomorrow I will publish the code publicly after adding README and self-hosting guide.

Hey, periodic personal perplexity here! �_

I noticed that my own posts made to external instances are not visible from my own account on this instance, but they are from outside

Even though I didn't find them there, they are still present both here and in the external instance on the respective communities where they were posted to, e.g.

• on lemy / on world
• on lemy / on world

I only see my posts on lemy.lol on my profile.

What happened?

Nothing really NSFW, I was thinking of opening up an upvoted because of boobs comm.

I just noticed their crawler isn't picking up lemy.lol
it used to do
