ok so this is a follow-up on my previous post [is this a bug?] how do i see lemmy content from mastodon

i might have been stupid.

i tried following the !shitpost@lemmy.world community from mastodon and it didn't show any posts or comments there.

i pasted the wrong link. the actually correct link is to follow the @lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world account from mastodon. then it works!

sorry for the confusion

So i'm trying to see lemmy content from a mastodon server.

I go to https://troet.cafe/ (which is one of the larger german-speaking mastodon servers), register an account there, enter https://lemmy.world/c/shitpost into the search field, it displays a user. So far so good.

However, when i click on that user, it does not display any content. Following that user does not seem to change that so far.

("Keine Beiträge vorhanden!" means there are no posts)

Is this a bug? Is this an intended feature? In that case, why?


What's weird is that this seems to work with some other communities. For example, when i enter https://feddit.org/c/dach (which is the largest german-speaking community), it does display posts and comments.

I have yet to understand what causes the difference in behavior.

I just saw !germanrap@feddit.de as #6 in Communities/All (sorted by Hot) (web archive) on feddit.org. This feels weird because the feddit.de server has been down for almost 2 years and the community seems to have no content (the home server cannot be contacted to verify but no posts seem to have been federated to other popular instances like feddit.org) and obviously never will have. As for the subscriber count, feddit.org keeps its own tally, which is currently (archive) at 64. This does not include new subscribers after the last federation with feddit.de, except local ones. These can also be checked separately, and the number is... one. This suggests that only one person ever subscribed to !germanrap@feddit.de in the past 1.5 years (as far as feddit.org, a 1k-weekly-active-user instance, is concerned), and yet the community is very high in Hot for a day.

Obviously, the visibility of the Communities/All (by Hot) list varies by client, for example Voyager shows it unsolicited as "Trending communities" in the Search pane, and even though Lemmy devs didn't include it prominently in default Lemmy UI, they definitely have considered the value of this list in mind since it's made the shortlist in Lemmy's API benchmarks.

I think it would be better if we have better integration across the fediverse, including integration between Mastodon, Pixelfed and Lemmy.

I know that Mastodon doesn't really have communities, well, Mastodon has hashtags, which come close but are not really the same. Maybe when viewing a mastodon instance from lemmy, it just creates a pseudo-community ("/c/all@mastodon.instance") for each instance that you can browse and subscribe to from lemmy? This way, there would be more content and you could more easily interact with other parts of the fediverse without needing to create multiple accounts on multiple services.

There is this really cool website: https://fediversemap.com/

that shows fediverse instances that are physically close to you.

i think this is a really cool idea because it allows connecting to people that you can meet in real life. it allows organizing of offline events, and that's something that i think we can all use very much.

I would like lemmy to integrate a list of instances that are physically close to you, sothat you can easily find and connect with them. maybe you can automatically browse through their communities and find communities that are relevant to you. communities i.e. about cities that enable organizing and scheduling events.

A while back on kbin.earth, I could only see relies in some threads if someone directly replied to my comments. The instance owner corrected it, but now it's happened in one thread on kbin and another on lemmygrad, each on it's own account. Would instance admins be able to get together and help sort this, please?

Thank you so much in advance.

I've recently added anubis to lemmy.ml, and it seems to be working well.

I have a PR to add anubis to lemmy-ansible (our main installation method), and I could use some help tweaking / optimizing its botPolicy.yaml config, for federated services.

Anyone with experience running anubis, this would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for the easiest way to crosspost content from Reddit to Lemmy or Piefed. Ideally, I’d love a Firefox extension or userscript that can either:

  • Directly crosspost, or
  • Copy the post’s markdown (including title, text, and images) so I can easily paste it elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

When a code block contains syntax for an image, lemmy seems to replace the image's url with a proxied one.

This instance's web UI's preview displays the original url correctly. The proxied url is also distributed trough federation, so users on other instances or for example Piefed should also see the lemmy.ml url in the example below.

This behavior is unexpected, as the contents of a code block should not be parsed as markdown, and thus no image should be displayed and no requests to the server should be made.

Example: I entered "https://media.piefed.zip/posts/bT/UD/bTUDGZRAcKZdXyO.png" as the url in the following code block in the web UI: ![alt text](https://lemmy.nz/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.ml%2Fapi%2Fv3%2Fimage_proxy%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fmedia.piefed.zip%252Fposts%252FbT%252FUD%252FbTUDGZRAcKZdXyO.png)

Lemmy UI version: 0.19.17
Lemmy backend version: 0.19.18-beta.0

Hello, Lemmy Community,

I am the author of the Localize The Docs organization. And I’m glad to announce that the 🎉 lemmy-docs-l10n 🎉 project is published now:

The goal of this project is to translate The Lemmy Documentation into multiple languages. Translations are contributed via the Crowdin platform, automatically synchronized with the GitHub repository, and can be previewed on GitHub Pages.

We welcome anyone interested in documentation translation to join us. If the target language is not supported in the project yet, please submit an issue to request the new language. Once the requested language is added, you can start translating!

See the announcement post for more details.

I created a new community in lemmy.world but it doesn't show up in Voyager app. I can post to it and see it using the browser. When I search for the community on Voyager however there are no results. How do I update or refresh the server so that the community becomes visible in Voyager?

A mod nuked this fella for being a bot. If you look at their comment history they're all in the same hour range. But how many of them are there?

Yesterday I found Interstellar which has this feature. I assume mainly because it is not only a Lemmy app, but also a PieFed one, which has this feature in the reference frontend (AFAIK).

Are there other Lemmy apps or frontends that support thread merging?

please allow us to set OUR posting/commenting language, separately from the we-view-these-ones language-setting,

so that we can see all the "undefined" ones, as that's the majority,

but we can remove "undefined" from our own language-use ( because that's bogus ), & just have our language chosen automatically, when we're commenting, if we're limited to a single language.

'twould be a good improvement for getting the language-for-each-comment/post right MUCH more, if it existed & people knew about it.

Thanks again for your software-work!

as title says:

going to the main feed of the instance,

& just scrolling through, one ought be able to block communities/distractions that one isn't interested-in without having to leave that feed-page.

as the title says: I've now got .. perhaps a couple thousand blocked communities, while trying to keep the distractions out from my view, & seeing if I've got some community accidentally blocked ( touchscreen UI's can sometimes bork one's intent, right? ), & I want to find it & unblock it..

but having them ONLY sorted by time, not alphabetically, means now I have to try to read ALL of them, to discover if that mistake got in.

Sorting 'em alphabetically would allow us to just scroll-down to the right part of the alphabet, & see, directly!

Thank youse for making good software, for the world, btw..

I'm not sure if it's a growth issue, or if I'm just getting tired of it personally, but the spamming of identical URLs over multiple instances is getting out of hand. Even worse when I block one post for whatever reason, only to have to repeat the task upteen number of times because one or more users (usually one) "helpfully" post the link in every tangentially related community.

Instead of that, it'd be better to have the front page (all/local/subscribed) automatically group any post of an identical URL into a single "post". In essence, each new post of that URL would create a separate discussion thread to the given community, and each thread could be listed under the "main" post similar to how crossposts currently are instead of cluttering up the front page.

I'm no programmer but I do know basic networking and computers. I have about 5TB worth of storage (more is to come) to spare, a 1Gbps connection and a public (although dynamic) IP address. Is there any need for hardware contributions, as in, for instance, hosting, doing backups, anything?

Recently one of the posts I made got a porn spam comment and I also saw a lot of porn spam in my instance's communites. Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

Has anyone else experienced anything like that lately or is it just me?
