I'm new to Lemmy and trying to understand how the All feed works. Doing some reading it looks like it is populated by communities that people on the instance I'm apart of have join. Is that correct?

Hello, I wanted to ask what you have to do to be added to the join-lemmy.org page? Is there an email to call? The documentation only reads that you have to meet certain criteria, but is it then added automatically at some point?

I have just started using Lemmy and I love it.

I have had good results sending Lemmy posts to Masto, and vice-versa. One exception has been the above group shown in the title. In Masto, send/receive posts works fine, but the Lemmy version seems cut off from the rest of the Fediverse.

Could someone look into that? Thanks.

Am I doing the lemmy image compression and removal of old proxied images correctly? Here's my docker service for lemmy:

pictrs:
    image: docker.io/asonix/pictrs:0.5
    # this needs to match the pictrs url in lemmy.hjson
    hostname: pictrs
    # we can set options to pictrs like this, here we set max. image size and forced format for conversion
    # entrypoint: /sbin/tini -- /usr/local/bin/pict-rs -p /mnt -m 4 --image-format webp
    entrypoint: /sbin/tini -- /usr/local/bin/pict-rs run  --max-file-count 5  --media-max-file-size 500  --media-image-format webp --media-image-quality-webp 50 --media-animation-quality-webp 50 --media-retention-proxy 1d --media-retention-variants 1d  filesystem sled -p /mnt
    user: 991:991
    volumes:
      - ./volumes/pictrs:/mnt:Z
    restart: always
    logging: *default-logging

I believe this used to work with e.g. something like https://lemmy.ml/post/2401677@feddit.org (assuming federation works and is current and all that).

This URL format no longer seems to work, is there a new/different endpoint to achieve the same?

I've found that I can use https://feddit.org/post/2401677 as a search term on https://lemmy.ml/search but putting together the appropriate URL (https://lemmy.ml/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Ffeddit.org%2Fpost%2F2401677&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll) with a bookmarklet does not quite work - it comes up showing "no results", but I can click on "Search" again without changing anything and the same page / very same URL loads again with the post I'm looking for as the only search result. This link in this post also shows this exact behavior for me.

Is there any convenient way at all to achieve this - something I can click once, like a bookmarklet?

For reference, here's my half-working one:

javascript:(function() {const myInst="https://lemmy.ml/";let currUrl=window.location.toString();let newUrl=myInst+"search?q="+encodeURIComponent(currUrl)+"&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll";window.location=newUrl;})()

Hello everyone,

Very quick question: when a community is deleted, there is a grace period to allow mods to restore it (which seems to be at max 24 hours from our observations). My question is

• how long is the grace period for mods?
• do admins have grace periods too, or can they restore it without any time limit?

From skimming through the database definition (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/d479bb96c64047a84914d64cbe1d8a366e1ec182/crates/db_schema/src/source/community.rs) it seems that just edits the "hidden" boolean

But still curious to see if someone knows how long the grace period is, and where it comes from (probably front-end)

I was trying to edit my community, and I accidentally pressed the delete button. Is there any way to undo this?

I would like to post news articles to the lemmy.ml Palestine community from Mastodon. I have read that I only need a flair [News] in the title and the mention of @palestine@lemmy.ml in the body of the post. However, that hasn't seemed to work.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :-)

Firstly, sorry if this is not the adequate place for my question; if it's the case, let me know.

The title may seem confusing, so let me detail it: I'm more of a commenter person, and some of my comments are replied, and Lemmy notifies me of those direct replies. However, there are moments when those replies receive third-party replies, so my comment turns into some kind of "sub-thread", something that's interesting for me to read and follow. For those third-party replies, I don't receive notifications, so I have to access each direct reply that was notified so to find possible "sub-threads".

There seems to me to be no option to "receive notifications for this post/comment/reply", only the automatic opt-in of notifications for direct replies.

So really isn't there such an option? Or is this an instance-specific feature and the instance I belong to (thelemmy.club) don't have it?
