ManifestV3 isn't enough to label it unsafe ??? Yeah , they're trying to kill Adblockers and privacy extensions but who cares, am I right ? It's not like every website is so riddleed with ads, viruses, tracking scripts and cookies they're unusable.
It looks like this instance has been defederated by feddit.de. I know that's where a cool Lemmy map is hosted, but no clue about how active their community is. Does this mean anything? (Also it looks like this instance isn't on their cool map)
I don't see them blocking any instance.
To be sure I subscibed to a community from there and it's federating fine https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/[email protected]
Huh. I suppose the tool that was shared somewhere to look up defederations has spotty data.
Tried posting/commenting in other instance's communities but only some people can see them I think.
I think I've saw some people say this is a general Lemmy issue just now with posts not coming through properly to other instances?
I think the italian section in the Non-English pages must be changed somehow. Days ago, the italian senate passed an anti-priate law that also attacks users if they torrent or they get caought on streaming sites of copyrighted media. While the law was done mostly against football matches pirating, it's also written to generically include movies, tv shows and possible, games, music and comics/manga. The risk of becoming similiar to Germany are quite high, if you ask me.
Yea some countries have strict piracy laws, that's why using a VPN and following basic privacy becomes necessary while pirating.
Then the italian users or users living in Italy must know before troubles ensues. Any plan for a guide or something?
Hey, I just signed up, and I'm not able to upload any images, including avatars, icons or banners. Trying to do so gives this error:
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON dataEDIT: Referenced function is
handleImageUpload.Hey the image uploading at the backend of lemmy is a bit borked right now, restarting the server fixes it for a while so we restart our instance 5 times a day but it can still cause error sometimes, only thing right now you can do is try after a while, or use an image hosting site and post through there (for posts)
We are trying to find a permanent solution to this, sorry for the inconvenience.
Alright, thanks for letting me know. I tend to use hosting sites for posts anyway, since I don't want to hammer any instances too hard.
Hi - Created a community here. wondering how I can change it's Icon, or is that only something the admin's can do?
welcome. On the side bar on the right there is a pencil button which you can click to edit the community and icon, banners and description.
Got it, Thanks!
Does anyone know why I would be unable to view my own posts? I have tried Jerboa and the desktop version of Lemmy but under both when I sort by Overview or Posts both turn up blank. This has been going for a while not but I believe for a while after I lost the ability to view my posts in Jerboa I was able to see my posts on the desktop website.
I can still posts and get replies to my posts. Could this have something to do with me disable Show Read Posts in the settings?
I’m surprised being a piracy focused server we don’t have our own /c/CrackWatch for gaming!
lemmy.dbzer0.ml has a really good one to model/copy for us. I’d like to have us be the big one since it’s our thing
