SAUDI ARABIA: The Royal Commission for AlUla has awarded Alstom a €500m contract to supply a 'truly unique' tramway inspired by heritage including the historic Hedjaz Railway. Alstom said the 22·4 km line would be the world's longest catenary-free tramway, and will 'encapsulate richness, history and ...

When I search for communities about animation on the web interface, I see one called !animation@lemmy.film
There has been no activity in the /c for 6 months.
It's not my native instance, but I can read posts and comments in the /c, and I can even create a post in the /c.
But when I try to visit http://lemmy.film in a browser, I get a "Web Server Is Down" page.
Is the content in !animation@lemmy.film a ghost of cached content on my native instance?
A new post with 1 deleted comment shows as "comment symbol 0 (-1 New)"
... which looks goofy.
But not in this /c, maybe there's some kind of /c setting that shows quantities of new comments?
There have been a number of comment spam attacks in various posts in a couple of /c's that I follow by a user/individual who uses account names like Thulean*
For example: ThuleanSneed@lemmy.tf in !coffee@lemmy.world
and ThuleanPerspective2@eviltoast.org in !anime@ani.social
edit: Also ThuleanSneed@startrek.website in !startrek@startrek.website
The posts have been removed or deleted by the respective /c's mods, and the offending accounts banned, but you can see the traces of them in those /c's modlogs.
The comments consist of an all-caps string of words with profanities, and Simpsons memes.
An attack on a post may consist of several repeated or similar looking comments.
This looks like a bored teenager prank, but it may also be an organization testing Lemmy's systemic and collective defenses and ability to respond against spam and bot posts.
After I've saved a post to a /c hosted by another instance than the one that I'm logged into, I can open that post for editing, but I'm unable to save my edits to that post.
For example: I made a post to !ukraine@sopuli.xyz, while logged in elsewhere. Something or other in the webpage link is forcing a download, so I tried to edit the URL in the post, but I can't save it.
This also happened to a post I made to !coffee@lemmy.world where I was trying to edit the text in the post's Body after saving the post.
I can save edits to my posts to /c's on my native instance just fine.
Before I begin, I have to say that this post includes links to an instance, ani.social, that has been defederated from this instance, lemmy.ml, because that's where I discovered this problem.
But in this case, I hope the admins understand that this is worth reporting and investigating, and don't insta-delete this post, because this problem appears to happen with more than that one instance, including sopuli.xyz, which is not defederated from here at lemmy.ml
Let us begin:
With Lemmy account setting “Auto Expand Media” turned on, when I’m viewing community https://ani.social/c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz on my desktop browser, Firefox on Windows, one particular post, https://ani.social/post/1923262 , causes the /c view to ask me to download an .mp4 video from streamable.com:
After declining the download, the space where the thumbnail for the expanded media goes is just blank.
This doesn’t happen when viewing the same /c on .ml https://lemmy.ml/c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz
On .ml, I just get a clickable thumbnail of the video.
It’s just that one post.
On other earlier and later posts of links to streamable.com videos in the same /c, I just get the expected clickable thumbnail.
Maybe some kind of corrupted data as that particular post was transferring over?
When I asked about this on ani.social's meta /c, another user reported the auto-download request on ani.social, sopuli.xyz (the /c's home!) but not on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world
CGDCT with mahjong.
Just a generic start.
There's nothing really standing out for me except the art: Those eyes look like they take ages to draw.
The comedy bits where they're imagining things while seated around the table aren't as funny as those in say "Sabagebu!"
