I regularly post images to lemmy.world communities but that instance also regularly seemingly fails to actually federate the post on their side.

What do I do when this happens? I can easily tell when it happens, because I can just look at my websites log and see that it isn't being spammed by lemmy requests.

Do I delete it and repost it later?

Does it eventually sort itself out?

Something third entirely?

One example is this post, which does not (at time of posting) exist on lemmy.world https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/27691379

We saw a sudden influx of new account applications recently, so we were collectively wondering if any specific event brought you all here, or it was just a coincidink.

In any case, welcome!

Dbzer0 is working perfectly for me for the first time in nearly a month. Did something change or was it a me problem?

Hi, i didn't find anything using the search, so i just wanted to know if any issues are known causing those error messages, which need a few reloads to resolve; additionally, voting on an post often takes 2, sometimes 5 or more tries.

i already tried:

• logged in/out
• with my VPN(Mullvad, on by default) and without
• Firefox / Vivaldi / Edge
• wired / wireless

and before i get into the weeds with the abyssmal support of my ISP i wanted to know if any of you have encountered the same issues.

I'm not sure if this is the issue.

I've tried other accounts on eternity and they seem to work fine.

I've used a jerboa for this account and still seem to be slow. The reason I'm not sure if this is an issue is bc it isn't always slow, everything seems to be working just fine. But very slowly.

Am I the only one?

Many newer Lemmy users still don't know they can block users, communities, and even whole instances they may not want to see in their feed or interact with.

This is a very basic guide to doing this on lemmy.dbzer0.com using the default web UI.

1. Open your profile Settings page:

2. Switch from the Settings tab to the Blocks tab

3. From this page you can block by User, Instance, or Community

That's all there is to it.

Edit: No offense to [email protected] for appearing in my community block list. It's just there as a (hopefully) inoffensive example.

The past few days I've noticed occasionally dbzer0 loads extremely slowly, or even hits a gateway timeout.

Is it just me or is the instance having some trouble keeping up?

Seems like it's only the front-end that has trouble loading, as I could still navigate next pages just fine while a different tab was busy timing out on load.

Also another thing I noticed is sometimes while it's still loading, the title of the page will be about a different post altogether. Not sure if that's related, sounds like just a caching issue to me.

Preface: Love this instance, happy to be here and this isnt a complaint just an observation.

OK so I mod a few communities across several instances, big and small. 3 on this very instance, I have noticed a pattern that posts on this instance tend to get a consistent early downvote count.

This might be my bad observations or the type of posts I see so I'd love to hear if anyone else has noticed the same.

Oof, what a journey this was. It took us a while to finally reach the Void. We had to fight and finally compromise with the trans flag folk who thought we were vandalizing when we were trying to pass through, then our planned path ended up being blocked by the massive English flag which setup shop in the middle forcing us to take the long way around, then we took a little detour to setup a naval battle and show England who's boss, at which point some cheeky Spanish bastard, stepped in and stole our ship's pirate flag. Then as we finally were nearing the Void, a cat butler (catler?) and yet another flag manifested and...

...well long story short, by the time we reached the Void, let's just say it's not anymore what it used to be, we touched one of its tendrils and it started popping leaves, so we left it at that!

I'm now focused on thickening the Haidra tendril to at least 2 pixels everywhere, and once that's done I'm starting a new path towards the bottom left to see what else we can touch.

Join me, or start your own journeys and remember to spread our pirate ships wherever we go!

PS: Thanks to @[email protected] for the rubber duckie on the factorio cog. Very cute!

Great job mates on touching the piracy banner made by @[email protected]. I planted another little pirate ship on top of it (feel free to improve the scene).

I have a new quest and a sidequest for y'all now.

First, let's go touch tendrils with the void and plant a pirate ship on it as well. Optimally I'd like to see a little tendril helix develop.

Sidequest: the Factorio gear now has a nice little "lake" where we've passed. Anyone up to drawing a little rubber duckie in there?

I started the little pixel ship yesterday on top of the haidra extremity, and today I found out it encountered a kraken. Well done to @[email protected] for adding that.

In other news, we managed to touch the center of the board, and now the canvas has extended, so it's time to move to the other side as well

I would like to try and get a tentacle going up from the right, to touch the piracy banner @[email protected] created! Feel free to add more doodads on the line as well! Likewise, if you have ideas about how the haidra should behave, just go ahead and do it, this is a bottom-up design and I love to see how it extends organically as well.

I cannot subscribe to many communities from feddit.org (especially newer ones), both in raccoonforlemmy and on lemmy.dbzer0.com (lemmy-web).

Has anyone else similar problems?

Re: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/23907738

We got a cute little garden in the process too!

Next objective, start drawing a 2 pixel line from our central head towards towards the center where the void and the pony rays meet. I want us to be the fourth connection.

Do not overwrite other creations and feel free to curve around like a tentacle as needed.

As always if you feel there's any improvements you can make on the centrale logo pixel wise, let us know. I would love a little pirate ship somewhere.

Just checking if any in our instance want to organize something for our presence, feel free to do it in this comm .

Trying to login with the MLMYM interface just goes to a blank screen for me. Is anybody else having issues with it? Is there anything I can do to get it working?

Edit: I have no idea why a simple help post is getting this many upvotes / downvotes

Firefox latest on Android 14, web front-end

Images seem to work fine now after the 19.4 upgrade.
Except when posting images via direct upload. I've tried to post an image with body description a couple times now to another community and as soon as I hit submit, it just instantly removes the image and doesn't post anything, leaving me on the create post page.

Edit: Pretty sure this is a front end bug as I had to hit submit twice to make this post. When you hit submit it jumps to the top of the page first.

Listen lads, lasses and lassless, I got a long day ahead of me, having to upgrade pict-rs, postgres and lemmy, so there might be some intermittent downtimes. You know how it is around here...not professionally at all.

Just a heads up.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?

I used to have an account on feddit, which is a german lemmy instance. For three months now I am only getting "Server error" when trying to visit it. Can anybody reach it? Is there any site where I can check the state of instances? Or was I banned?

Thanks for any help :)

I can access c/world on lemmy.world without problem:

lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/[email protected]

But I cannot access c/whatstheword:

lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/[email protected]

It seems unlikely that this specific and innocent community is blocked on either instance.

What's going on here?

~500 comments about our instance and admins in the past week. Talk about needing to touch some grass...
