We made some changes a few minute ago that we hope fixes the problem. There may be some other lingering issues, but I am hoping the voting problem is fixed now. Let me know below if you continue to see that problem.

I tried to upvote this comment:

Got a page that simply said “Error”. That’s it. Not internal server error or a 500 error.. just “error”. Thought it’s worth mention since it’s possibly the first time I've seen such a generic and info-deprived error msg.

I'm noticing that my comments are not getting federated to (at least) lemmy.world, wondering if there's something going on with federation.

Edit: I'm guessing someone kicked something, because I'm seeing them over there now!

Until I implement a better system to screen out spammers, I will be closing registrations on Fedia.io. That’s not what I want - I’d like for it to be available for legitimate accounts, but the spam is off the hook.

Anyone seeing this can send me an email (jerry@infosec.exchange) and I’ll get an account created for you in the mean time.

When trying to register, I fill out a username, email, and password (copy/pasted from a password manager, so no chance of mistyping). I complete the captcha, check the consent box, click register, and... nothing. Page refreshes, but there's no errors displayed or anything. I've tried resetting my password, but I never get an email for that (I'm assuming because creating my account failed). I've tried different browsers, mobile and desktop, addblockers on and off, and get the same result every time.

Hello everyone. Today, I moved fedia.io behind the Fastly CDN. This should make the site consistently fast for everyone, no matter where you are in the world. It'll also help with bandwidth usage and mitigate DDoS attacks.

There were a few hiccups as I set that up today - my apologies if you saw errors or broken images for a bit.
EDIT: I previously said that this was the first time mbin or kbin was put behind a CDN. That is incorrect. kbin.earth has been behind Cloudflare. Apologies.

Right now the default sort for threads is "Hot". Can I change the default somehow? I don't know if the option exists or if I'm blind, I can't find it anyhow.

Hi all. I've been having some problems keeping fedia.io running - at the moment, either the message workers or the php web server processes are dying after an hour or so and I have to restart everything. I have been working with the mbin team and installed some updates that we hoped would fix the problems, but no luck. I am going to work on a cron job to automatically restart things once an hour. The down side, is that you'll likely see some error 500's if you happen to hit it when the processes are restarting, but it should happen quickly and refreshing the page should make it work again.
