- Comment on Is there a way to remove a mod from my community? 4 days ago:
mods can remove other mods if they are below them in the moderator list. for moderators higher up admin intervention is required.
as the default lemmy ui doesn’t exactly make it easy to manage moderators in a community if they haven’t posted or commented there recently i recommend using tesseract for this, where you can easily do this and much more in the community settings.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
we currently have a Referrer-Policy that doesn’t share the referrer with third party sites, so your observation is correct.
it’s a mechanism to reduce potential for user tracking.
this is similar to the default behavior seen on mastodon: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/33214
- Comment on !peoplebluesky appears to be unmoderated 5 weeks ago:
are you requesting to take over moderation?
- Comment on Why is lemmy.ca so much faster than lemmy.world? 5 weeks ago:
probably, this caching is just affecting the default lemmy web interface.
other apps or web interfaces may have their own caching implementations, though for web based stuff it’s typically fine to leave it up to the browser, as long as there are suitable cache-control headers sent by the server.
- Comment on Why is lemmy.ca so much faster than lemmy.world? 5 weeks ago:
there were some caching issues in lemmy-ui where it would unnecessarily eat up disk space for caching without even making use of it properly. there was a change done in 0.19.12 that was supposed to mitigate this, but for users who have already collected this it won’t automatically delete the unnecessary cache until they logout: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/3150
even when clearing this manually though i still see this take longer than you’d expect to load, it seems that the image cache is still slowing things down.
i also had some delays on images on the front page before all media loaded. i was able to speed things up again by executing
await window.caches.delete(“image-cache”)in my browser dev tools console, but that is certainly not something to expect from regular users.i’ve raised a new issue about this now: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/3195
meanwhile, you can also work around this by deleting cached data for lemmy.world in your browser, at least until it fills up again.

how long does it take in an incognito browser window?
- Comment on Why is lemmy.ca so much faster than lemmy.world? 5 weeks ago:
where are you located? do you have an example of things loading slowly? for me things are loading instantly, but if you’re not within the EU you’re likely dealing with latency across the globe
- Comment on There is a user that shows up even though they are blocked. 1 month ago:
yay, database inconsistencies.
looks like kbin.earth has a broken setup at some point where their user profiles were using http instead of https urls and that results in random breakage in lemmy:
- Comment on There is a user that shows up even though they are blocked. 1 month ago:
something doesn’t seem to be right there. i can reproduce it with this comment but not with other comments they created. also, the comment doesn’t show up on their profile.
- Comment on How can i remove MIA mods? 1 month ago:
probably. the check for higher modes was changed for 0.19.6 in github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4860, but before that it seems like all mods could remove other mods.
- Comment on How can i remove MIA mods? 1 month ago:
I’ve removed both other mods now
- Comment on How can i remove MIA mods? 1 month ago:
they can, but only those that were appointed after them

internal team discussion relating to that request. searching by trump was not really an option, but searching for the username did bring it up.

you requested this here: midwest.social/comment/12017524
you can leave the mod team by using the “Leave mod team” button on the community page

done
- Comment on old.lemmy.world no longer works without javascript, defeating its purpose 1 month ago:
Would you say the old “mlmym” design is more attractive than the new design?
anything that is plain html and doesn’t need js is more attractive for crawlers than things that aren’t plain html.
historical comparison
this doesn’t provide much historical context, it’s just for the last 7 days
Are you saying most of the blue requests are bots?
one way or another, yes. we definitely don’t have that many legitimate users trying to access it and then stopping when they get a cloudflare challenge.
Can you estimate how much it would cost to serve all the bot requests
currently no. this was a quick fix implemented when it got to the point that we couldn’t handle the traffic anymore and lemmy.world was getting outages from the load caused by these criminals. the amount of crawler traffic we see also gets spikes here and there, so what might be enough today might not be enough tomorrow. they just don’t care about anything but themselves.
- Comment on old.lemmy.world no longer works without javascript, defeating its purpose 1 month ago:
we’ll have to see. when you’re logged in you’ll have that cookie anyway.
due to the structure of the page it’s a very attractive crawler target for those that don’t care about robots.txt and pretend they’re real browsers. they’re hitting it from a range of different countries that even our initial attempts of limiting the challenge to certain countries was not useful.
even after implementing this challenge we’re still getting lots of requests on this domain that all fail the challenge, 42k challenges issued within the last 24h and only 371 (0.89%) solved.
mlmym also doesn’t seem to be that efficient with its api call usage per page load, so it would likely also need some investigation there if that can be optimized to reduce the server load from mlmym pages compared to other clients.
criminal ai crawler operators are killing the (public) js-free web.
- Comment on old.lemmy.world no longer works without javascript, defeating its purpose 1 month ago:
if you set a cookie with the name
jwtit’ll bypass the challenge. this is currently needed due to ddos by criminal ai crawler operators - Comment on LW will send me PMs about mod reports, but the mod report inbox is ALWAYS EMPTY 2 months 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.
- Comment on LW will send me PMs about mod reports, but the mod report inbox is ALWAYS EMPTY 2 months ago:
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.
- Comment on LW will send me PMs about mod reports, but the mod report inbox is ALWAYS EMPTY 2 months ago:
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?

have you ever seen this since we updated to Lemmy 0.19.9+?
- Comment on Unable to Upload Photos Due to Cloudflare Verification 3 months 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? 3 months 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 3 months 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.

ah, that makes sense.

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 3 months ago:
I believe this was due to rate limits being misconfigured. Should be fixed now.
