Sorry, it was a glitch in the Matrix, the comments are actually here: https://lemm.ee/post/45660045?scrollToComments=true

Hi, there is no free speech policy on lemm.ee, we have very strict moderation when it comes to our rules. We regularly permaban users for breaking our instance rules. We simply don’t use defederation as a moderation tool, preferring other tools like user bans, for reasons outlined here: https://lemm.ee/post/35472386

Hey, I saw this ping, but I didn’t actually get any message from you about CORS headers. Where did you contact me?

Interesting! We’ve had quite a noticeable spike of sign-ups on lemm.ee as well

There isn’t any way to do this with the default lemmy-ui unfortunately

For now, I just redeployed all of our servers completely, but as I don’t know the actual root cause of the issue yet, I’m still investigating to figure out if anything more is needed.

Sorry for the delay in updating the status page - I actually had gone out for lunch just a few minutes before the downtime started, so I didn’t even realize anything was up until I was back at my computer about 45 minutes later 💀

Actually, we’re using Hetzner’s cloud load balancer for lemm.ee. But if this issue repeats in the near future, then I will definitely consider setting up something else.

There are two useful sections on https://status.lemm.ee for this - firstly, there is an automated check for federation with all other instances on the bottom of the page, and everything there being red is a definite sign that something is wrong with lemm.ee itself. Secondly, near the top of that page, I will always write a status message manually when I discover & start work on any issues. This second part can have a bit of a delay, as it requires manual input from myself, but I have updated it every time we had any issues so far.

I believe I discovered and fixed one cause for intermittent slow page loads, but please let me know if you notice it again in the near future

I think it’s not really on your side, most likely either just something wrong on kbin.social itself, OR a side-effect of the measures lemmy.world implemented against kbin.social recently.

They are basically local-only communities on lemmy.world at this point, unfortunately. There is no federation to any other instance for any lemmy.world user posts on those communities.

The maximum file size limit for images hosted directly on lemm.ee servers is always visible in the sidebar of our front page. The limit stands at 500kb per image currently.

Additionally, It’s also possible to post images larger than 500kb, they just have to be hosted externally. The markdown for this is ![alt text](image url)

To be honest, neither Hexbear nor Lemmygrad has caused any noticable issues for lemm.ee. I recently compiled some stats for lemm.ee rule breakers by home instance, and as you can see in this post (in the “Administration” section), neither of those instances even made the top 10.

In general, mods haven’t complained about those two instances either, and the stats for community bans by independent community mods are more or less very similar. If any users creates issues in a lemm.ee community, then the community mods are free to just ban those users, regardless of what instance their account is hosted on.

if fact I wouldn’t even be able to as my home instance is defederated from these instances and thus such posts would be invisible to me

Preventing such situations for lemm.ee mods is actually one of the many reasons we don’t want to use defederation as a moderation tool on lemm.ee - we rather use site bans etc. Too much collateral damage with defederation, especially when dealing with larger instances which probably have vastly more innocent users than problematic ones. We reserve defederation for more extreme cases, like spam instances & CSAM.

Hey, lemm.ee admin here - it’s actually hosted in Finland!

It’s not really a bug, it’s just a case where app developers need to update their code to support a small change in the Lemmy API. More details here: https://lemm.ee/post/34259050/12479585

Hey, this post is quite old, actually you can find the latest info in the sidebar of our front page:

• Image uploads are enabled 4 weeks after account creation
• Image upload limit is 500kb per image

It’s a full new game that you need to purchase separately, but all the marketplace stuff you’ve bought for 2020 will also come with you to 2024

We finally have a release date for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024!
