Find me on Mastodon too.
It’s buggy. Submitting a post sometimes takes half a second, and sometimes it takes 30 seconds. Logs show a plethora of errors. The Docker container will eventually crash and restart. It’s all part of the Lemmy instance admin experience.
No options to collapse/customize side panels.
UI doesn’t refresh after saving settings.
Settings aren’t sticky from page to page on occasion.
If I could code I’d pitch in and help. Heck, I’d learn, but the documentation is pretty sparse.
Worked at a place where our CIO was completely unqualified to be a leader, much less a leader in IT. She was a micromanager who took the position of “telling stakeholders” instead of “working with stakeholders” so any project she was on was really her pushing through whatever agenda she had at the time. Meanwhile her deputy CIO was stealing computer equipment from the server room but I digress…
April fools one year and I decide to prank it up. I moved the hinges (not the door handles) of the freezer/fridge in the breakroom so that the handle and hinges were on the same side. It’s a fifteen minute job to move everything so I did it the night before the 1st.
The next morning our hungover CIO stumbles into the breakroom and cannot get the fridge to open. After a few seconds of futile tugging on the handle, she gave up and took her lunch to her office.
Others in the office figured it out pretty quickly and had a good chuckle.
Later on that day CIO sends out a nastygram about pranks being unprofessional, property damage, someone was going to be in huge trouble, yadda yadda…
But she’s not the director. The director tells her to basically fuck off, it was a funny prank, and perhaps she needed to lighten up.
She never found out it was me.
I’m an instance owner and mod. I’ll describe what we see.
Like anyone else, I can check a post or comment and see the upvote and downvote counts. If I click on a specific menu item by a post or comment I can also see who voted which way.
I check it often and to date have only banned two users, out of thousands, who were consistently downvoting posts. These bot accounts were literally voting within seconds of the post going federated.
It’s a useful feature on my end and I think others should be able to see it.
Here’s a method that’s always worked for me and others.
Get a glass of water, cool is preferred but any reasonable temperature is ok.
Take small, tiny, repeated sips from the rim of the glass, like an infant on a nipple, drinking and swallowing the water.
Do this for ten-twenty seconds and you’ll be rid of them.
Still true though. I’m distro-agnostic, running the best whatever for the job at hand.
When I give a presentation at a conference about something technical, the question always comes up: “Why are you running that on so-and-so? $Distro is so much better…” and their whole train of thought deviates from the subject at hand.
Point is, the tool is the tool. If Fedora is the best option given our licenses and use scenario, I don’t need to hear about how much better xyz is and how we’re wasting money.
I just want xyz to work. I don’t need the distro wars to be a thing when I’ve got 6 other more important things to attend to.
Backblaze is a great backup solution. They publish drive stats and even show you the hardware they use.

Did your computer lose its bios settings lately? Check to see if it’s set to ahci and not raid if using a single, non-raid disk.

Good luck
FYI: There’s currently an open issue with crossposting on instances using the 0.19.4 lemmy ui.
In a nutshell, the post submission page reloads after it retrieves the community to crosspost to, so everything but the selected community is wiped out.
It’s a bug in 0.19.4. I opened a GitHub issue for this in the lemmy-ui repo.
It’s confirmed here on Firefox on instance daring.lemmy.fan. You should file a bug on the lemmy-ui GitHub.
Edit: If you don’t want to or whatever let me know and I will be happy to do so.
boom
Oblig. XKCD:
Try using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 as the external DNS in your router for testing. Does it work then?
Also, you may have DNS cached somewhere. You can flush your Windows DNS cache by typing ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt.
Fuckin autocorrect was the death of us all.

Subscribe pending and joined pretty much mean the same thing right now. I think it’s a bug but I’m not sure. I do know that Subscribe Pending instances work.
Old posts aren’t federated. As new posts roll in, they’ll start appearing.
I setup my lemmy log to go to a file as opposed to the console. Then it’s searchable, archiveable, etc.
Ask them if they want to get battletoads instead
I taught my pet rock to “stay” in 1988.
It hasn’t moved since.
You can host overseas and use a proxy for hosting. I mostly don’t worry about it though because I don’t do anything illegal.
Keep fighting the good fight against ignorance and illiteracy!
