Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.

Part of the problem is the instance's open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.

We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.

Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we're setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!

Thanks for all you do!

Somewhat related: any word on re-enabling image uploads? I understand completely why you had to do it, just wondering if there's a roadmap?

Image uploads had an issue a while ago but should be working. Which client are you using?

Oh, sorry I haven't tried in a while. Looks like it's back up! Thanks!
