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 17 hours ago:
I believe this was due to rate limits being misconfigured. Should be fixed now.
- Comment on Limit of communities a user can create 17 hours ago:
I believe this was due to rate limits being misconfigured. Should be fixed now.
- Comment on 🤔 Does my Lemmy instance support video streaming? 4 days ago:
we’re aware of this issue and already looking into it
- Comment on "Language not supported" error 1 week 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? 1 week 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? 1 week ago:
can you please be more specific and provide an example showing what you’re referring to?
- Comment on "@ Mentions" circumvent blocks 2 weeks ago:
this will be fixed by the upcoming lemmy update iirc
- Comment on Another user unable to verify email 2 weeks 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 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
this is now implemented
- Comment on Someone on Reddit couldn't register on LW 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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] 3 weeks ago:
just don’t use disposable email addresses and it’ll work
- Comment on "Failed with exit status" 4 weeks 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" 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
I’ll make sure this gets looked at this weekend if it’s not picked up by then
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
the way federation works is typically, when everything works correctly, that the updates go out within the same minute.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
iirc this will be resolved in our soon to come lemmy update
- Comment on lemmy.world slow loading and timeouts, Jerboa app, morning of 2-18. 5 weeks ago:
we’ve been observing that in a few cases over the last weeks, we’re planning to investigate this in more detail after updating lemmy and our db to a newer version, as that should already improve performance in a few places.
- Comment on lemmy.world slow loading and timeouts, Jerboa app, morning of 2-18. 5 weeks ago:
the monitoring alerts aren’t very accurate currently, we’ve been looking into improving them to better reflect reality, although that’s still in progress

why shouldn’t the email filter be enabled?
I have to admit that it doesn’t do much for us, as the support emails we have in sidebars and posts are unfortunately federated to other instances where they’re not getting obfuscated and will be crawled there, but we do have contact emails on the website. I’m currently not aware of any issues caused by that.

glad to at least have confirmation that this isn’t just us, thanks!
do you remember whether this has still been happening while lemm.ee was on lemmy 0.19.5 or 0.19.8?
- Comment on Lemmy.world appears to have briefly logged me in as a completely different user (twice)? 1 month ago:
that has nothing to do with this issue.

we’re not running any modifications that would impact caching and we don’t have any custom caching logic. we’re only caching what lemmy/lemmy-ui return as cacheable, which suggests that the issue is likely in one of those services, however, i couldn’t find it in either one.
it’s also rare enough that it’s extremely difficult to troubleshoot, as we see people report this maybe once or twice every few months but without any useful information that would allow us to look into this further than trying to find bugs in related code just from the general symptom of seemingly invalid cache.
additionally, the impact of this should be fairly low, as, unless this somehow impacts private messages as well, no data would be returned that isn’t already otherwise public. with this seemingly “just” being a caching issue, there is also no risk at impersonating other users.
nonetheless i agree that this should not be happening in the first place, even if it’s rare and the impact appears limited.
- Comment on Lemmy.world appears to have briefly logged me in as a completely different user (twice)? 1 month ago:
I already followed various code paths to try and see where Lemmy might be setting incorrect caching headers without finding anything and nothing in the relevant code seems to have been changed between 0.19.3 and newer 0.19 releases.
I’m still unsure if we’re just seeing it more frequently due to a larger number of users and us also having a “proper” caching setup and in practice it would happen on other instances as well or whether it’s somehow something that others just don’t see due to not being on 0.19.3.
