- Comment on LW will send me PMs about mod reports, but the mod report inbox is ALWAYS EMPTY 6 days ago:
reports don’t federate in all cases.
currently, only accounts on the community instance get 100% report coverage, as they are sent only to the reporter’s instance, the reported user’s instance and the community instance currently. afaik this is supposed to get better with lemmy 1.0 eventually, but this is what we have to work with for now. resolving reports on another instance won’t resolve them on LW, unless you remove the associated post/comment. this should however not impact visibility when you do check on your LW account.

report counts will show next to the shield icon in the top right, to the right of the PM/mention bell icon, if there are any.
there is a small possibility that our logic for sending these messages is incorrect, but you’re the first person i see mentioning this while we’ve had this for a pretty long time already.

that’s odd, the query for those unresolved reports should be finding the same things you’d see in the reports view on the website or jerboa.
do you have a specific example where you can’t find a report? i can take a look at that and probably find the reports.
you can also both in jerboa and also on lemmy-ui select to show all reports, not just resolved ones, which might help identifying them?

this is now disabled for mlmym

have you ever seen this since we updated to Lemmy 0.19.9+?
- Comment on Unable to Upload Photos Due to Cloudflare Verification 1 month ago:
this should be fixed now, Cloudflare was detecting a potential vbulletin exploit
- Comment on I am not able to find lemmy.world on instance finder what is happening? 1 month ago:
afaik this is not something that we were involved in, but the lemmy devs implemented a threshold to exclude instances with 30% or more monthly active user share.
i don’t mind it, better distribution of users across instances is good.
- Comment on YT preview snippet is in Russian 1 month ago:
seems like youtube is using incorrect geoip mapping.
our server is hosted in finland, but afaik google is running their own geolocation stuff, which i think is less accurate than other geoip databases.
- Comment on Having trouble creating a new community 1 month ago:
ah, that makes sense.
anaustralianphotographersnotesbookis 34 characters and the limit is at 26 currently. - Comment on Is there a way to filter posts based on link source? 1 month ago:
I believe some alternative UIs/mobile apps have this feature but it’s not available in the default Lemmy interface.
- Comment on Having trouble creating a new community 1 month ago:
I believe this was due to rate limits being misconfigured. Should be fixed now.
- Comment on Limit of communities a user can create 1 month ago:
I believe this was due to rate limits being misconfigured. Should be fixed now.
- Comment on 🤔 Does my Lemmy instance support video streaming? 2 months ago:
we’re aware of this issue and already looking into it
- Comment on "Language not supported" error 2 months ago:
the community !linux@sh.itjust.works only allows posts without a language set (aka undefined).
this is a community setting.
- Comment on What is up with the changes to LW image caching? 2 months ago:
i don’t think you have any understanding of what ech is.
regardless, we didn’t do any changes to images today.
there was an issue with image uploads, that should be fixed now.
- Comment on What is up with the changes to LW image caching? 2 months ago:
can you please be more specific and provide an example showing what you’re referring to?
- Comment on "@ Mentions" circumvent blocks 2 months ago:
this will be fixed by the upcoming lemmy update iirc
- Comment on Another user unable to verify email 2 months ago:
at this point i don’t know what people are even talking about, anyone signing up since saturday should get an email if their account was denied.
it’s also impressive how many people can’t follow simple instructions.
- Comment on Another user unable to verify email 2 months ago:
reddit blocks data center IPs, therefore fetching the page title automatically doesn’t work
- Comment on Another person on Reddit unable to verify email 2 months ago:
if the page doesn’t show anything that indicates that the verification isn’t valid anymore.
this can be the result of trying to verify after 7 days have passed (currently hardcoded limit in lemmy) or when the email has already been verified.
- Comment on Someone on Reddit couldn't register on LW 2 months ago:
I don’t have a reddit account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
feel free to forward this information to them
- Comment on Someone on Reddit couldn't register on LW 2 months ago:
this is now implemented
- Comment on Someone on Reddit couldn't register on LW 2 months ago:
we’re currently implementing an update to our automatic approval script to send email notifications for rejected applications, previously those accounts were just silently deleted. that should go live this weekend.
most likely this person either used a disposable email or didn’t type the correct text in the application form.
- Comment on [Discussion\Request] - Link Previews images and Thumbnail URL function on lemmy.world 2 months ago:
this isn’t something we have actively disabled.
newer lemmy versions have new functionality there that will take the thumbnail from the origin instance rather than always generating it locally, which explains why things may sometimes look slightly different than on other instances. the ability to set custom thumbnail urls is also only on newer lemmy versions.
once we’ve done the update, which should happen this month, that will also be the same on lemmy.world. a few days ago i did another test migration and it only took about 20 min for the db migrations while my previous test before the db upgrade took almost an hour, although i might have had different settings before in the test environment.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
just don’t use disposable email addresses and it’ll work
- Comment on "Failed with exit status" 2 months ago:
it doesn’t make a difference which community you’re trying to post it to, it’s likely an issue with that particular image.
- Comment on "Failed with exit status" 2 months ago:
do you have any more context?
based on this i’d just assume that pictrs didn’t like the video you tried to upload.
- Comment on What's going on in comicstrips@lemmy.world? 2 months ago:
we’re aware of this and have been in contact with the mod before, asking them to let us know if this ends up leading to moderation issues.
some people behave strangely, but as long as they’re behaving well we’re fine with tolerating that.
i haven’t been monitoring their accounts in detail, but they have been doing this for months already.
if they’re causing issues we will look at options for enforcing this, although with federation being a thing they’ll likely just move on to another instance where we will be less able to control this and continue from there. just posting content that is on topic and using new accounts frequently is not necessarily what we consider a problem, but if this links up with bad behavior in comment sections that is a different topic, as the account deletions effectively make moderation impossible. at that point however it will become a topic of interest for us, as we don’t like seeing ban-evasion or evasion of other moderation actions.
if you happen to see them causing more issues please make sure to report the comments in question, as this will persist the contents at the time in our database, and also let us know directly e.g. via pm to @lwadmin@lemmy.world, as we won’t typically see community reports when not actively looking for them.
- Comment on Request to mod c/conservative 2 months ago:
I’ll make sure this gets looked at this weekend if it’s not picked up by then
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
the way federation works is typically, when everything works correctly, that the updates go out within the same minute.
