@lemmy.mlI've been receiving direct messages with pretty much the same contents from different accounts for a few months now. The contents include a question which I answered but the messages keep coming. I tried to report this using Jerboa's built-in functionality but I always got an error "Report deleted". Can I do something about it or I'll just keep receiving the messages until I create a new account?
This time my question is, how long does it take for the Lemmy server I just set up to finish federation? What does the "allowed instances" list do in the admin settings? Does it allow the Lemmy server to only connect to those instances or is it a list of the starting instances from which it federates to others?
Until a few days ago I was posting youtube links, and the thumbnail and link description would be filled in automatically.
Now, there's no thumbnail image and instead of the youtube preview text for my linked video, its some generic youtube stuff in french:
- YouTube www.youtube.com Profitez des vidéos et de la musique que vous aimez, mettez en ligne des contenus originaux, et partagez-les avec vos amis, vos proches et le monde entier.
Something broke?

If you are using https://github.com/wereii/lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner please stop and disable it as soon as possible.
We have found a security issue that allows any user to make LTC delete any locally hosted image.
I will be posting more details soon and editing this to include the information.

Asking for help, I deployed lemmy using docker and deployed lemmy on the onion network, but I found that the picture of lemmy will expose my IP address. What should I do? Tor runs on Linux and lemmy is in docker. I can deploy lemmy on onion normally, but the pictrs pictures cannot go through the onion network.
Hi, I am new to Lemmy and I just need help with something kinda QoL-ish. Is it possible to look at a post on the homepage IE http://lemmy.ca, and block the community it is coming from?
I don't want to have to manually click on the community and go to its page every time I want to block one. Is there like an extension or a specific UI mode that lets you do this? Thanks!
Sorry if this is the wrong community, not sure where else to post the question, and I'd rather avoid creating an issue over on Github.
Is there a way to check if a federated user is an administrator via the API? .get_person_details()
will have the admin field set to false for all other than local admins and .get_community()
only reveals the list of moderators.
I know I could scrape the admin list from the main page html, but scraping html is prone to errors if an instance uses an alternative frontend or the frontend is updated. Getting the data via the API should be a more stable solution.
Based on #3703 it seems like a decent chance that this information isn't currently exposed to federated instances though?
The release notes for 0.19.4 mention that this version requires an upgrade to both pictrs and postgres, but there isn't any information about what versions of those are supported. Is there someplace else I should be looking for this information? Or should I just YOLO with the latest version of each?
The R site has such a feature, which can allow one to group posts from many communities into one feed.
With many communities on different instances with similar topics, it'd be useful to group them to avoid separate visits to each community.
Does lemmy have such an option?
If not, are there any lemmy clients that can provides a similar option?
Or are there known workarounds, maybe with the rss feeds or so?
