Recent events over at lemmy.world have got me thinking, and I wanted to see what the community here are reddthat.com thinks.

Most details are available at the lw admin team's latest post. TLDR A discussion about whether a vegan cat diet was viable started at c/vegan. An admin banned some comments and removed a moderator of the community. LW updated their TOS with a section about misinformation. The admin actions were reversed.

(Probably, I am misrepresenting the situation, read the link before taking up arms)

While, I prefer to enter my own opinions in a comment, I would like to add some questions to frame the discussion:

1. What do you the new section about misinformatiom? Do you think reddthat needs one?
2. What do you think about how the situation was handled by the LW admin team?
3. Given that LW is the biggest lemmy instance, how do you think these changes will influence smaller instances like reddthat?
4. Do you have any other take aways from this? Or any other questions?
5. (bonus) Isn't it hilarious that lemmy has its own tea (=gen z for drama)?

This was quite fun leaning about the "old" internet relics

What are you, inspired by YouTube? This is the dumbest shit I've seen in a hot minute. You wander through other communities/instances that support down votes but you see a deranged world. People downvoted to hell and back are right alongside good posts. It absolutely only elevates misinformation. Delete my account, it's useless without down votes.

Basically, title.

I have no idea what is the best from a cost/performance/reliability perspective.

I usually use catbox.moe, but got a few issues today, so I was thinking that having all of the content I post to one hoster might cause issue if they were to go down one day.

What do you think?

Once there is text in the "body" field, clicking on the emoji panel clears the "community" field but does not show up the emojis

Hello everyone,

Just something that crossed my mind: should we have a Reddthat matrix room? Could be useful to chat, and have a fallback place in case Reddthat encounter service disruption :)

Just tried to crosspost something, once the target community is populated, all the fields (title, URL) get blank

Hello,

I started getting this this morning, I guess this is due to the latest update.

Should be easy to reproduce, for instance with that link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_O74AVDl-Q

Has anyone else been getting long page load times (like ~10 or more seconds) frequently but intermittently over the last couple days?

Hello everyone,

I noticed that starting today, once I will post something, there will be a small lag before the post is actually created, leading me to click twice on the "Create" button, creating double posts.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

mlmym (the "old" interface) was updated on GitHub recently with changes that should fix the broken orangered notification envelope and the user profile sort order issues.

@ticoombs -- when you have a chance, could you please look into updating mlmym on reddthat? Thank you!

Its so annoying not being able to downvote. Just enable them

As we are running the latest and greatest Beta currently. This post will be a list of all known bugs & fun things that we are dealing with.

Please comment if you have a bug so we can help make the next Lemmy version.

Known Bugs

• Video links are not embeddable when they have a thumbnail. Issue: (UI-#2418)
• FIXED: Local and All pagination (Clicking Next) results in 25-30 seconds load times. Issue: (Lemmy-#4618)
  • ~~Good News: This will be fixed VERY SOON! PR: #4662~~
• Federation with LemmyWorld
  • We have created a server in Amsterdam which is close enough to LemmyWorld where we can ingest all of the Activities, and then batch-send them to Reddthat. Currently it is performing very well. It is still early in testing but all signs point to solving our activity backlog issue!
• Private messages are broken #2439-ui

I made a post on! [email protected] but it doesn't seem to appear when I go to lemmy.ml/c/fediverse or even lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

I don't think this is the first time this happened to me. What is the cause and is it fixable?

Could it be that Reddthat was removed from the Community Browser (browse.feddit.de)? Can you still search for Communities on Reddthat in the Browser?

Since Twitter restricted people from looking at their website, lots of people migrate to mastodon instances. The more permissive of them with open registration (like pawoo for example) are being DDosed into the ground right now.

People are having a tough time using many Lemmy communities that are essentially just lists of links to outside content, like my c/dolls and c/schooluniforms, since much of the links are dead.

Since I am a data hoarder, I of course have much of the content I would like to post saved locally - but I do not want to repost some else's work without their permission and without linking to their online presence, like many imageboards unfortunately do.

Do you think it would be okay for me to post the pictures directly to reddthat (by uploading them here), but still providing the link where the post was originally made? (that may or may not work depending on the mood of whoever feels like they have to restrict their social network)

So I'm new here - I wondered if there's a way to "block" entire other federations?

E.g. I've seen complaints about "exploding head" being a wellspring for undesirable content, so turning that off individually gives users control over their experience without giving a power of censorship to the admin of this instance.

Also there are servers out there where English is not the default language - which is of no interest to monolingual me. I'd rather turn off content from that server entirely rather than just playing whack a mole with every new community that gets federated(?) Across.

TIA! 🙂

I just tried out thunder after using Jerboa for a while and I like the interface, but for the life of me I cannot find how to submit posts?????

What other apps are people using?

I'm not sure if that's only on Reddthat and 0.18 servers (I'll go check out my account on beehaw now), but I'm getting shown posts very near the top of the list from, like, 20-30 days ago, sometimes even going as far as a year or two ago. They haven't that many upvotes or comments either. Anyone seeing that?

I am logged in on on reddthat.com and would like to join [email protected]

However, the search in wefwef.app (which I am currently using to access lemmy) returns nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for helping a newbie out. (This is the first post on lemmy for me)

I've started seeing racist memes from the exploding heads instance on All. I know I can (and have) blocked the communities I've come across from there, but I'd be happier to know that my home instance doesn't create a space for the people seeking out that kind of content. Obviously I'm not in charge here and to my understanding we ideally do things democratically here, so I'm really just hoping to start a conversation.

Hello everyone, just a normal useless testing post on reddthat!!

I thought our ~~glorious leader~~ admin might want to know, that is all :P
