  You should persist the auth token, rate limits are by IP. They also don’t exclude successful logins currently. This is a limitation in Lemmy. We have currently configured it to allow 5 logins per IP per day, but if you’re lucky you can exceed that, as the consumption is not synchronized between backends at this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare and (friendly!) bots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Then I don’t know where you’re seeing Cloudflare CAPTCHAs. There shouldn’t be any on any of the API paths.

  I’ve checked both URLs you mentioned above and only saw a Python user agent getting blocked with a browser integrity check on one of them in our CF logs. I’ve now added a dedicated rule to skip browser integrity checks on all API paths.

  Hello,

  use the official Lemmy API for automated interactions, don’t use headless browsers or pretend to be a browser.

  Given the amount of false notices in the past (not to us, in general), there is absolutely a ton of automation without human oversight in there, and that was already the case long before AI.

  Companies like “CTW Anti-Piracy 2” and “Altitude Film Sales” or "Altitude Film Sales 2” (not sure if there are multiple types of Altitude Film Sales, the Lumen notice lists them with a 2 but the complaint text without) clearly don’t care about the damage they do to their own reputation. In the end, most people won’t care anyway and it won’t meaningfully harm their reputation even if they fuck up on a significantly larger scale. It’s not like they’d have to fear any legal repercussions for these false statements either, as the only part they swear under penalty of perjury is that they are authorized by the copyright holder.

  Hi, it’s transferred back.

  I think Lemmy might still have some federation issues with that, it’s unlikely to be specific to LW or .ca.

  There is a chance it would have fixed itself after some time (24h?), I’m not sure if a mod list refresh is part of the community metadata refresh.

  Unlikely, we haven’t changed these limits recently and we haven’t exceeded the limits in the past. While it’s possible to change the limits, it’s not clear yet why they are being exceeded currently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy world intermittent api 503 errors - using selfhosted photon instance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi,

  sorry for the late response to this. The immediate issue is resolved, and we’re looking to extend our monitoring in the coming days to have better insights on the underlying issue, as well as alerts before it would get to the point of throwing errors.

  For some reason Lemmy has been having significantly more open file handles (including e.g. connections) than usual, leading to a denial of service. At this point it’s unknown whether this is caused by a bug in Lemmy, an attack, or something else.

  you mean creating or updating a post with embedded images is causing issues in some cases?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frequent 500 errors on lemmy.world⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi,

  are you seeing this on pages that work when you reload them or is it persistent on certain URLs?

  Do you see an error message being returned?

  The default Lemmy interface has a part like this below the matrix handles for admins:

  The server returned this error: Error. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error

  Unfortunately, errors returned by Lemmy aren’t often that useful in what you see as a user, but it would still help to know which URL you were on and roughly which time, including timezone.

  Are you still having issues or just describing what you’ve experienced before?

  We know why the error you’re seeing is happening, as that’s a caused by reaching a limit, we just don’t know yet why the limit is being filled up by other stuff yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With posts loaded shortly after publishing, post image requests fail with "error sending request for url... operation timed out"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hello,

  we have just fixed an issue with our media service, can you please let us know whether you’re still seeing this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨500 errors all the time trying to post to memes community⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hello,

  this should be resolved for now. Unfortunately the root cause is still not clear and will require some additional investigation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spam issue⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if the accounts you’re referring to (i don’t know which ones) are still up then we’re likely not aware of it. we are aware of spam accounts and ban them from time to time as we become aware of them, but they can easily slip through the cracks as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spam issue⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lemmy doesn’t support reporting communities yet.

  reports will go to community mods as well, and the mod can resolve the reports.

  it’s recommended to message @lwreport@lemmy.world with details for anything that requires admin attention to ensure it gets through to the team.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Repeated intermittent Error 500 messages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  thanks for the report, i’ll look into it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  we will probably redirect the tesseract domain to photon soon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I make a second account while keeping my first one?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as you don’t use it for ban evasion or e.g. voting on the same content from multiple accounts it’s fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  1. the person is not MIA
  2. there have not been any post reports in this community recently
  3. on a quick glance, the recent posts do not appear to be off topic
  4. a fresh account requesting this and apparently misrepresenting the situation does not give you a good look
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  nice try

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way to set my default submission language to English?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s possible.

  You could submit a feature request here if there isn’t one already: github.com/Fedihosting-Foundation-Forks/lemmy-ui

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I contact the admin(s) of an instance?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it doesn’t appear to be about LW.

  @op:

  you can try to visit the instance domain directly and check the instance sidebar there.

  if it’s lemmy it will also show the admins in the sidebar, if it’s other software it can be harder to find. you can then look up the admin users from LW and send them a pm if they don’t have any other contact info on their instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I accidentally removed myself from my moderator role in the my community I created.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  your mod status has been restored

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need to have a community unlocked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  these are not Lemmy.World communities, we can’t do anything about those.

  they were probably migrated to FediNSFW instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Verification has taken weeks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  hello, which username did you sign up with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I accidentally removed myself from my moderator role in the my community⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  how did you even manage to do this? I think Lemmy is supposed to prevent that if you’re the only mod.

  I’ve added you back.
