  • something I noticed: viewing posts on iOS in safari doesn't seem to work (does in Fx)

    particulars: 14 Pro, 16.6, 1Blocker (all base lists + VPN trackerblocker mode enabled), safari incognito

    • interesting, mine is working (with a different blocker and no incognito) but I’ll make a note to try a configuration closer to yours and see what happens

  • Is there a way to mute comments from a specific post?

    • I’ll look into this — it’s a pretty useful feature on mastodon and it feels like table stakes as far as features go

  • Does the "Next" button at the end of the page of comments work for anyone?

    It doesn't work for me. I've tried the "darkly" theme as well as the browser default one, and no dice. I don't know if it's an issue with some sort of JS-blocking on my browser (Firefox on macOS), but all other interface buttons seem to work.

    The button isn't even "clickable" for me.

    • it's broken since the last lemmy upgrade

      solution: libertarian revolution in lemmystan, obviously

      • don't try to delve too deep into the the depth of previous comments, that way madness lies

  • I'm getting 400 Bad Request response from awful.systems/api/v3/post when I try to publish a post in MoreWrite. Seems to be a CORS issue(?)

    I'm dialling in from a starbucks wifi with a vpn - does that matter?

    • Never mind. I restarted my VPN connection and it worked... magic

      I guess that’s because my vpn ip was different from my auth ip

  • Not sure if it's a site problem or a fedi problem but right now there's a submission on the frontpage, titled

    Will MacAskill on EA: "The demographics of who this appeals to ... The levels of autism ten times the average. Lots of people on the spectrum."

    There's a tiny shit-brown garbage pail icon next to it, denoting that it's been deleted by the author. But there are still active links, so if you don't notice that icon, you'll hit the comment link (speech bubble) and get a page saying the submisson cannot be found:

    https://awful.systems/post/323847?scrollToComments=true

    Ideally, if a submission is removed, links to associated pages, like comments, should be deactivated. Maybe the presentation of the submission should be altered too (strikethrough, greyed out) to make it clearer that this is a removed submission.

    Interestingly, the link to ExTwitter is still active, so if the submitter decided that this was a bad submission it's still clear what they linked to and what they considered was the meaning of the link...

  • Posted in the account requests (I just approved it):

    HELP: I enabled two-factor authentication on my other account, sneak, and when I logged out, the TOTP doesn’t work. The site didn’t give me seed words to log back in case this failed, and now I’m locked out of my account. Can you assist?

    • https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3325 holy fuck that’s bad, lemmy generates TOTP links that don’t work with most authenticators and doesn’t verify with an initial 2fa code before enabling it

      @[email protected], you may be able to unlock your original account if you do the “forgot my password” flow, which apparently lets you disable 2fa (which also feels pretty insecure). that’ll require your account to have an email associated with it though. otherwise as soon as I’m at my computer I’ll run the query in that github issue to disable 2fa on your account and ping you when it’s fixed.

    • getting to the moderation tools is godawful; you click on the vertical ellipsis menu next to a post and then the mod tools jank into view behind the menu that pops up
    • @[email protected] tells me jerboa is broken because awful.systems isn't giving it a valid version
    • mlem is somehow even worse than jerboa: it just says "Couldn't fetch your account's information. File a bug report." after logging in
