Hi there

Sent you a message on the matrix chat. This should now be fixed.

Thank you

Hey,

I did some research on this.

I will not share the list of accounts as I feel its everyone right to vote and to have their own opinions whether they align with yours or not.

I will however say, Its mostly the same accounts that are down voting you. The majority of the accounts are over 2 months old with content generated by them (they do not seem like bot account). There are a few that are just 10 days old. 99% of the down votes are from other instances with feddit.uk and feddit.nl being the primary source of them.

Hi Nahvi.

Thanks for posting this well put together post. I can tell that you put some time and thought into this and I want you to know that I recognize that.

Regarding your concern, this is a topic that has been brought up numerous times over the past month. I’ve since moved towards being more community driven, letting users discuss and debate on topics that are important to them. These discussion move forward towards a vote over a 7 day period. This process will change over time as we come across flaws and look for ways solve them together.

One more thing I want to make clear regarding your tl;dr question Will I be blocking other instances for personal reasons? Short answer is no, I believe the community should determine what should or should not be blocked.

That being said I want to make myself clear that there are limitations, I will continue to defederate instances that openly promote or spreads hate speech, terrorism, CP, loli, trolling and instances that become bot instances. These shouldn’t be things that need to be justified, I think they fall under the “be a good human” category.

I hope this clarifies your concerns and you continue to make sh.itjust.works your home.

Locking this thread. This issue was related to the language selection found in the user profile.

This issue has been resolved.

Thanks will keep an eye on this thread.

Yes this is a great idea. I will definitely be doing this.

Reading through the replies and I have to say ya’ll don’t take prisoners here. sheesh.

Anyway, I went through went through the community in question and reviewed not only the posts in the community and the comments made by the mods of the community and they weren’t aligned with the kind of negativity I want to see on the instance. I have since purged the community and the mods.

Hey all,

This community is being reviewed and will likely be a discussion point to in our Agora community where we discuss about issues like this as a community.

Post that are breaking rules will be removed. If its a regular occurrence so will the TheDonald community. Please continue reporting inappropriate posts and its difficult to maintain visibility on everything that is going on at all times.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

This is likely the case. Ive gotten a few people reach out to me with this same issue. The update is around the corner, hopefully it fixes a bunch of these bugs

Something I probably missed when I first spun up this instance to be honest. Should have been enabled from day 1.

From my understanding, the new version that should be released in the few weeks should fix a lot of these weird bugs

Is there a website that is available that tracks all this information publicly?

Alright most of the problem was related to not having and RDNS setup for the instance IP. I’ve since implemented an RDNS/PTR solution for the IP however DNS being DNS, it could take anywhere from 48-72 hours before we will see it applied globally.

Can you try clearing your browser cache and cookies? The forgot password issue is something I’m working on at the moment

I use Mlem on ios. Still really early but it gets significantly better with every new release

I agree with all of you and think artists and others alike should be able to share their work and allows other to contribute to their passion. Should we just remove the No Ads from the rules? Maybe the answer is to modify the rule. I just to make it clear that I don’t want users aimlessly ad spamming the communities.

Report them. We’ll sort them out.

This is the way.

Btw thanks guys

This is something I looked at as well and an option. It does require someone to volunteer their time and make the tool. Sounds like a fun project but I’m already stretched pretty thin so it would have to be someone else.

This is a known issue, specific to this instance that I’m working on solving. The weekend is almost here so I’ll have a little more time to sort this out in the coming days.

Lemme has the ability to do some theming. If someone from the community wants to take on getting a new theme created I’ll install on this instance as an theme option for everyone to use.

So this has been fixed. itjust.works should redirect properly to sh.itjust.works now

Not to throw you under the bus @this@sh.itjust.works but that’s not exactly how I recall it going down. Everything in your story is accurate with the exception of where the conversation happened. It happened on a Lemmy instance!. The conversation started on the lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead post. If you are indeed the same user who recommended the name you definitely get a token of recognition for coming up with it!

I am no lawyer, however I do not see a problem with subscribing to NSFW communities outside of this instance. I’d go as far as saying that should you want to contribute to these external communities you can do so as long as you are not using the built in image hosting service to store your content. There are external platforms such as redgifs that could be used to store this content as long as it fit within their TOS.

It definitely helps!

I get the same behaviour as well. I noticed however that if you select a language then it works just fine. Could you try it out on your side as well? I will reach out to the lemmy devs to see if this should be marked as a bug.

Could you check and see if its with a community on this instance vs another instance on the fediverse?

I plan on making a post sharing some considerations people should take before registering to an instance. In it I’ll definitely bring this subject up.

I believe the devs were saying that they were moving away from websockets in v0.18.0 which is scheduled to come out in a few weeks

You are right, wrong link! I just updated it. Thanks for the heads up

Here’s the official documentation with the steps

That’s correct.

Hey! Glad you all love it. credits go to @ArtisanalRuntime@sh.itjust.works from this comment https://sh.itjust.works/comment/75406

I figured out the storage issue last night, the instance is only at about 20% utilization so we should be good to take on a good amount more. We probably will need to do some more tweaking as we grow but for now its looking pretty good!

Not taking donations at the moment. Still need to figure out the best way to collect donations and haven’t had the chance to think about it! I will eventually

I love this!
