I am writing to request the deletion of my account as the delete button isn't working.

I will be happy to provide any information regarding the account.

Thank you for your assistance.

My main account got banned from a couple of communities for wrongthink so now I have to suffer their posts without even being able to try to offer a different perspective. But the block community button is not above the sidebar where it normally is. Can I still block those communities somehow?

Title

Where is this information stored? If someone is overzealous in banning users, does this create a giant, permanent file somewhere? (I hope this is the right place to ask; it was removed from Asklemmy)

hackertalks.com 0.19.11 - lone subscriber instance

lemmyworld.com 0.19.10 - ban and unban instance.

Single subscriber for a community gets banned, and a hour later gets unbanned. Since the subscriber is banned, the subscription appears to terminate. So there is no federation for the unban a hour later for that community.

note lemmy-federate doesn't subscribe if there is a local subscriber either.

Example community:

• https://hackertalks.com/modlog/1540?page=1&actionType=All&userId=7663
• https://lemmy.world/modlog/622?page=1&actionType=All&userId=1161502

I made a post today https://hackertalks.com/post/9682461 which tickled some automod triggers, and got my account banned on at least two instances I know of. If i had to guess, the direct link to the paper pdf may have done it.

I'd like to be able to figure out the list of all instances that got triggered so I can follow-up with the admins to get my account unbanned. Is that possible?

It seems like some FOSS websites started using a Proof of Work CAPTCHA called Anubis because they've been getting hit by crawlers to gather data for LLMs. It seems like it helps.

It does not stop them, but it does make it more expensive and slower for the attacker. At the moment, I haven't seen any instance having this problem, but it most likely will be a problem someday and being praped for it is definitely not a bad thing.

Lemmy could benefit from this by maybe placing some invisible or auto PoW CAPTCHAs when doing some action like commenting, posting, etc.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Post a test image to my community, !altmedia@altmedia.house
2. Go to homepage, image is not expandable in-page and thumbnail doesn't show up.

Thumbnail works for articles, just not images. So doesn't appear to be an issue for post-rs. Clicking the image leads you to a new page which is just the image, instead of expanding in the page, as I would expect.

Example: https://altmedia.house/post/308

Not sure if this is an issue with lemmy-ui or lemmy itself. Probably the ui right? I look in the server journal and there aren't any errors.

Edit: I thought I would add that I did a 'from scratch' installation of Lemmy, not using Docker. I feel like given the posting behavior below, that I must be missing an environment variable definition that gets set by Docker that lemmy-ui uses in a thumbnail url or something.

Exactly what it says in the title. How do I find all modlog actions related to an user, e.g. me?

The ansible instructions state to run

git pull && git checkout version_name

but I don't understand what url to put there.

Hi. My home instance is lemmygrad.ml. I would like in my feed all posts from lemmy.ml; lemmygrad.ml; hexbear.net; lemmy.eco.br; bolha.forum. How do I do that? A compromise solution (if you are worried about server computing resources) would be combining all posts from my home instance and all subscribed communities.

As a workaround, I visit the website of the desired instances, filter by "local", sort by top, and subscribe to all communities with interesting posts. Very time consuming!

Edit: lemmyverse.net eases the task of finding desired communities, but mass subscribing is still not easy or quick enough. My question from the first paragraph remains.

How do I join, I am so frustrated now because you are wasting my time. First it says I need a invite, then I think ok maybe if I create an account on lemmy.world. Then I do that and try but am being asked for a instance. All I know is I am trying to join https://lemmy.world/c/autism but now very much suspecting that this community will be unmoderated and hostile as well given how many tricks you have been using. Communities are either unmoderated or moderated but apply unwritten rules.

Let's say that someone moderates several different communities for related subjects. If they make a list of these communities and their respective links and descriptions, is it possible to post that list in one place (on Lemmy or elsewhere) and then embed it in the sidebar of each community? That way any edits to the list would only have to be made in one place and not edited in each community's sidebar separately. The goal is to have the current list appear in full in the sidebar, so linking to it would not achieve this, but embedding it would.

Thanks!

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.

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.

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.

• (Deleted within the hour) https://lemmy.ml/post/28333996, modlog

• (Deleted 3 days ago) https://lemmy.ml/post/28206502/17786644, modlog

• (Deleted 10 days ago) https://lemmy.ml/post/27878131/17617304, modlog

• (Deleted 13 days ago) https://lemmy.ml/post/27745076/17556469, modlog

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

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?
