Hi

It seems that free speech is only an illusion on Lemmy servers.

Where can I post any comment on any post (even blocked Reddit posts) without being blocked?

Even hatred needs to be analyzed to get to the root cause.

Thanks in advance for pointing me to open minded and constructive discussions servers.

I'm just going through my past history, and looking for anything where the subject is "*Permanently Deleted*" and where the Modlog for that community shows nothing.

None of these appear in the modlog of their respective communities.

I've been told before in an earlier comment chain that this might be due to the post user being permanently deleted.

Is there any way I can verify this as an end-user? Once the post is gone, I can't see the username of who posted it.

It's just a bit of a small hole in the transparency of Lemmy's fantastic moderation

Hi there, I know that you're not able to fully delete a post/comment on Lemmy because of the way the system works since deleting something only seems to hide the content from most instances but it will still show up for yourself and give you the option to "undelete" it.

But it's pretty annoying to me to have all posts and comments I deleted still showing up for me in my profile section. Even though I know you can't fully delete it I was wondering if there's at least a way to also hide the content from myself and not just for others.

When not logged in, some instances have “all” by default while others have “local”.

Is there a config line to choose it?

I chose mine hurriedly and I'm not a fan

This could also help minimize effect of "Nicole the fediverse chick".

Probably a stupid question but I tried app and desktop can't work it out.

See the screenshot; some links but not all show that gray area with the link name. This is in the Connect app but I can't find a setting for that - it just started happening one day in the last week or so.

Is there a way to fix this? Is it a Connect issue, a Lemmy issue, or unique to Discuss?

Thanks.

Does anyone know a community besides /r/translator where I can make translation requests?

I have communities, so is it possible to give someone else ownership and be a normal mod or even simply not being one? (Other than account purge)

Newb here. In my main feed, I see some posts over and over again. I see a post, click "Next" and there it is again. And again on the next page, and a couple of others I've already seen too. And again on the next page. (Sometimes they are cross-posts to a different /c, but mostly not.)

It's annoying having to wade through post after post I've already seen.

What I've tried so far:

  • Set main feed to "New" rather than "Active" etc.
  • "Hide this post" when I see it for the third or fourth time

Are there other ways?

My instance (frozeninferno.xyz) seems not to be federating properly with mander.xyz.

Looking at https://lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz/c/[email protected] it appears that the newest posts are from 4 months ago, however, looking at https://mander.xyz/c/herpetology there have been some more recent than that.

What can I do to fix this? And how can I check if federation is working properly with other instances?

Thanks.

Anyone else get the “please wait a few minutes before trying to import or export settings again” error?

It worked importing the same file to another account, but not this particular one. It gave me the error yesterday, so I gave up and went to sleep. Today it’s saying the same thing. I was thinking maybe the file size is too big? But it’s only 21 kb. =
If nothing else, I’ll keep trying again at a later time. It’s not urgent.

UPDATE: Solved! I guess just try until you succeed. Might take a few days

Is there some kind of rate limiting trick to mod report federation and LW? I have HackingNe.ws, but it seems like only reports generated from LW do not federate, not sure how to make the two instances like each other - comments/posts seem to federate properly.

Reports from other instances work fine btw, just LW reports. For example I created [email protected] - I am able to report fine between instances (account on SJW can report from there to HN or HN to SJW just fine). But I also mod LW/c/Technology, and reports to LW/c/Technology from HN works fine but on my instance it does not show reports to that community from other instances. I do not see receiving the reports in my logs that I can tell, nor do I see them visually on my instance.

Someone I talked to who had a similar issue mentioned LW rate limiting causing the same issue for them, is that what's going on?

Open to creating a bug report with Lemmy, but since it seems instance specific I figured I'd ask here first.

Feel free to DM me if needed, thanks

I am using Lemmy as the official community for my ArcaneChat project (https://lemmy.ml/c/ArcaneChat) I do announcements there when there is a new release sharing "what's new?" etc., this gets federated to mastodon/fediverse but when people reply to the post from mastodon the comments doesn't show up in the community (see https://lemmy.ml/post/27324077), is this normal? I am doing something wrong?

thanks in advance!

Some times my posts bring a lot of comments which generate a lot of comments making me unable to read the rest of the comments notifications.

When I was using Reddit, when this happens, I would turn off notifications for the viral post. Is there is a function like this on Lemmy?

Was looking at my profile and thought it would be fun to see how many upvotes I've received compared to downvotes. Can this be done?

Sorry I did google... it seems I can't upload them, so other than a link how can I share them?
