Support @vlemmy.net im_john_here @vlemmy.net Can we please defederate from whatever is hosting /c/cunny?
It’s basically child porn and I’m pretty sure we and the admins don’t want to propogate that.

Support @vlemmy.net pau_hana @vlemmy.net A Patreon option for donating to Vlemmy would be nice.
I would like to support the server costs of Vlemmy with a small recurring donation, but I prefer the convenience of Patreon for managing all my donations in one place. Somewhere I read that some other instances take donations through Patreon. Are there any plans to add it here?

Support @vlemmy.net RadDevon @lemmy.ml Signed up but never got an email
Hey there. My current home instance's performance is awful, so I tried last night to create an account on VLemmy. I saw the toast saying I would get an address verification email, but that email never came through. Is this a bug, or does that email maybe not actually send until my application has been approved?

Support @vlemmy.net AyleidScholar @vlemmy.net still having issues with uploading images despite threads saying it's fixed.
I'm getting the same error for every upload whether it's for a sub icon or a post. the error reads "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data." I have tried using a 1024x1024 like another post suggested but that doesn't work either.

Support @vlemmy.net calculuschild @vlemmy.net Can we reboot server to fix GitHub issue?
I reported an issue on GitHub, and the devs are asking if our instance owner can reboot and provide some logs to help troubleshoot. Reaching out here in hopes the instance owners see this? Not sure the best way to contact them for stuff like this.

Support @vlemmy.net jamong @vlemmy.net Trying to add communities from Hexbear
Hi, I’m using the vlemmy search to add communities and seem to have issues with adding anything from HexBear. An example would be !sports@www.hexbear.net. When I search, a “couldn’t find object” error appears.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Is it possible to get a spell checker on lemmy? It's a little frustrating having to edit posts and comments to correct my horrndous typos.

Support @vlemmy.net NotDrJeff @vlemmy.net Inconsistent Banner Size Across Instances
Hello folks, I noticed today that a community banner was rendered differently on two instances (vlemmy.net vs lemm.ee).
Inspecting the source, the image is 600x200px.
On vlemmy.net, the banner was rendered as 736x240px. On the community page on lemm.ee, it was rendered as 831x240px.
Neither was the correct aspect ratio, and part of the banner was cut off on the lemm.ee instance.
Do lemmy instances have complete freedom to format the banner in whatever way they want!?
What's the recieved wisdom for dealing with this unpredicatable behaviour? Is there a "safe" way to design a banner to deal with these differences?

Support @vlemmy.net PrinceHabib72 @vlemmy.net Error: couldnt_get_posts
When going to the vlemmy.net home screen, I get the following error:
Error! There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.
The server returned this error: couldnt_get_posts. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error
I am logged in, using the Brave browser, v1.52.126, Chromium v114.0.5735.133.

Support @vlemmy.net OnionFutures @vlemmy.net "Subscribe" and "Block" are only text, not buttons
It seems that on any community I go to (whether local or on another federated instance) the "Subscribe" and "Block" buttons appear as plain text, not as buttons/links. So that I can't subscribe to any more communities. Occasionally, "Block" will appear as a button, but "Subscribe" pretty much never does.
Example:
This only seems to have arisen in the last couple of days.
Anyone else getting this or know how to fix it?

Support @vlemmy.net hero2zer0 @vlemmy.net Getting an error when trying to upload an avatar
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
This is the error I'm getting in a red banner when trying to upload an avatar (512x512px, 39kb jpeg file). Was able to upload the same image to lemmy.world (which currently uses BE 0.17.4) without any errors.

Support @vlemmy.net pyarra @vlemmy.net Lemmy v0.18.0 Release
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1465740
What is Lemmy?
Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
Major Changes
HTTP API instead of Websocket
Until now Lemmy-UI used websocket for all API requests. This has many disadvantages, like making the code harder to maintain, and causing live updates to the site which many users dislike. Most importantly, it requires keeping a connection open between server and client at all times, which causes increased load and makes scaling difficult. That's why we decided to rip out websocket en

Support @vlemmy.net Francisco Reyes @vlemmy.net Posts language
When I create a post in Vlemmy the drop down to select language only has Undetermined and some symbols which likely describe some other language, but I can' tell which.
Shouldn't there be more languages in there?

Support @vlemmy.net Francisco Reyes @vlemmy.net Missing posts
When I look at technews on the original host I see more articles than if I see it on vlemmy
In particular there are articles older than 3 days in vlemmy, but several posts from 3 days ago seem to be missing in vlemmy.
For example:
- European Union votes to bring back replaceable phone batteries
- Pentagon program hunts those who ‘embarrass’ its generals
- Asus zenfone 10 revealed ahead of the launch

Support @vlemmy.net Chickerino @vlemmy.net Can we see the number of downvotes on a comment/post on this instance?
I've noticed that on some other instances, the number of downvotes is displayed along side the upvotes counter, but on this one, unless I specifically downvote a comment, the count doesn't show up. Other instances, sometimes have this, along with kbin.
