Edit: this appears to be fixed now: https://lemmy.ml/post/22203615/14801411

All images in posts on lemmy\.ml are currently being resized to 256px on the longest dimension (width/height), even if they are image posts, not intended to be just article thumbnails.

Is this an intentional change? It makes text in images illegible and means that I have to view the original post to see the original image on every image post.

If this is a deliberate space-saving measure, could it be tuned for a little better usability? For example, increasing the maximum size of image when the post is an image post (as opposed to a web link that generates a thumbnail) and setting a size threshold to trigger resize (ie. most small images could be left alone).

Some examples from my feed:

Posts not appearing in communities when other group actors are mentioned.

Tried making a post (link below) to a lemmy community while also mentioning two other groups. My post never appeared in the Lemmy community. This seems like a bug, when I tried posting to two lemmy communities at once the first went through, the second did not.

Does anyone know what's up with this?

@lemmy\_support

I try to get comment data for my posts via API from my Lemmy instance, but whatever I try on using the GetComments endpoint it delivers an empty array.

For example ... GET https://programming.dev/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=20878811 leads to:

json { "comments": [] }

I want to ask here, before creating an issue. Has someone a hint?

Hi all,

How would I go about identifying why all these 400 (and some 499) errors are popping up in my server's logs?

I don't see a way to get Lemmy server to spit out any helpful info. I've tried setting RUST_LOG=verbose in the env, but no luck, still no log output.

No matter which Top sorting method I select in my profile, the result will always be all of my my all-time top posts instead of a selection based on the selected time frame from the drop down menu. All Top (x) selections seem to only show the uncurtailed Top All Time results while sorting by Old, New or Controversial seems to work as intended.

I am browsing the default lemmy website interface from a Firefox web browser.

External images could be linked and displayed using:

• ![](external url)

Then Lemmy images could be resized which I think also shrinks the file size; hence faster display time, save internet data, and save screen space; by adding &thumbnail=:

• ![](https://lemmy. .../pictrs/image/... .webp?format=webp&thumbnail=320)

So, is it possible to do similar but for any external image? Or at least generate thumbnails of many external images? Thanks in advance.

@lemmy\_support hello. How long do I need to wait for the e-mail to verify it? waiting 8h now...

Inb4 "analytics" is a bad word in the fediverse, understandably so, but I ask because for one of the communities that I moderate, I noticed the banner image and icon image were nearly 20 MB each, so I replaced them with smaller versions (<1 MB each). On desktop w/ a fast wired connection, it's no biggie, but it's good practice anyway to minimize page weight, if for no other reason than to make the site more usable for people on slow or cellular connections.

I tried searching for traffic data about Lemmy, and the best I could find is this page on similarweb.com, which shows traffic broken out by country and referrals, among other things, but a breakout of mobile vs desktop appears to be locked behind a paywall.

Do we have any analytics on mobile vs desktop traffic for Lemmy?

I was trying to edit my community, and I accidentally pressed the delete button. Is there any way to undo this?

I would like to post news articles to the lemmy.ml Palestine community from Mastodon. I have read that I only need a flair [News] in the title and the mention of @[email protected] in the body of the post. However, that hasn't seemed to work.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :-)

New Lemmy admin here. I found the [Theming Guide] in the Lemmy docs, but it jumps directly to the 'After a theme is added' section without explaining how to add or create themes. I've searched for examples but couldn't find any configuration that includes these details.

I found [hanubeki-lemmy-themes], which actually contains some good themes. However, when I copied the 5 folder to my extra_theme folder, nothing happened. Can someone guide me on how to add these themes to my instance?

Update: You should put all your css file in the extra_themes folder, each .css is a theme. For [hanubeki-lemmy-themes] I put all the dist and src files in extra_themes and it works. I already done this before, but my browser was [caching lemmy-ui static files for 24 hours], so when I delete the cache it just works.

Hi Lemmy friends,

Is there any way to have Lemmy's community RSS feeds provide more than 20 <item> tags at a time? Can I add a querystring variable to get the next page or two of data?

Background on what I'm trying to do: I run the Movie, TV and Game trailers community. I'd like to create a simple website / landing page that displays an ongoing roll of the latest/top/hot trailers posted to the community.

I can use the community's RSS feed for this, but the feed only includes a maximum of 20 entries (for an average end-to-end runtime of about one hour). I'd really like to get the next few pages of entries as well.

Thanks!

This still seems like the #1 entry port for folks who are new to Lemmy, but it is pretty out of date. It still recommends Combustible, which never had a stable release (Oct 1, 2023 Alpha 0.1.1), lemmyBB, with no known instances (Apr 24, 2023), Lunar, which never left Testflight (Dec 12, 2023), and the same for Memmy (Nov 6, 2023).

At the same time it is missing lots of recent apps, such as Connect, Interstellar, Arctic, or Tesseract.

Would it be possible to use a tool similar to LemmyApps or the API to keep the list updated automatically?

Sorry if this is the wrong community, not sure where else to post the question, and I'd rather avoid creating an issue over on Github.

Is there a way to check if a federated user is an administrator via the API? .get_person_details() will have the admin field set to false for all other than local admins and .get_community() only reveals the list of moderators.

I know I could scrape the admin list from the main page html, but scraping html is prone to errors if an instance uses an alternative frontend or the frontend is updated. Getting the data via the API should be a more stable solution.

Based on #3703 it seems like a decent chance that this information isn't currently exposed to federated instances though?

Support set url from posts of other fediverse softwares (ej mastodon, mitra, akkoma...)

Hello!

In the last few days I have been testing to create news posts in Lemmy communities from Mastodon and Mitra.

I have seen that the posts are created correctly, setting the title with the first line of the post, but the url is not set correctly, it puts all the content in the body, but the attached url is not set. Would there be any way to extract the url from the body to be able to set it, as is done with the title?

I attach examples:

Post created from Lemmy with url in lemmy: https://scribe.disroot.org/api/v3/post?id=532812 Post created from Mastodon without url in lemmy: https://scribe.disroot.org/api/v3/post?id=532812

@lemmy\_support @LemmyDev

Over at [email protected] we've got a sidebar with a "total subscribers" shields.io badge, like many other communities all over the Lemmyverse do. I made a simple, non-badge-related edit to the sidebar and due to what seems an aggressive image proxy, the shields.io badge address gets mangled after the edit is saved.

!This is !music

This is "Community Info" from [email protected] on Jerboa. At the bottom of the screen is the midwest.social/api/v3/image_proxy image.

!This is !detroit

This is "Community Info" from [email protected] on Jerboa, as an example of a working badge. At the bottom the screen is the working shields.io badge.

The pre-save preview shows everything as should be. It's only when the edit is saved does the badge address get mangled.

I contacted our fearless leader, @[email protected], and he changed an image proxy setting. Now [email protected] works as it should. Any further details or information in regards should be asked of him. Thanks. *** Workers of The World...Relax! [email protected] &star; [email protected] &star; [email protected]

EDIT: It seems to have been fixed thanks to @[email protected]. Running analyze verbose; in postgres.

After updating to 0.19.5 from 0.19.3 my postgres is often using up 500%+ of CPU according to docker stats and often going to 100% CPU on most cores according to htop. Also noticed in the uptime monitor: !

htop shows one of the 5 postgres processes constantly on UPDATE. I think this might be part of the problem.

I'm not comfortable with postgres and am honestly completely in the dark how or where to mitigate or even pinpoint this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

A quick look at the https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/federation_getting_started.html does not answer that question. Though at least ChatGPT has an opinion (which may be misleading) 😀

> the probability of it (the post) being distributed on multiple instances depends on factors such as the popularity of the post, the number of upvotes and comments it receives, and how widely it is shared across different instances. Posts that generate a lot of engagement and discussion are more likely to be distributed on multiple instances, as they are more likely to be shared and reposted by users. Additionally, posts that are deemed relevant or controversial may also be more likely to be spread across multiple instances.

I am unsure what it means by shared (i assume just posting a link is not enough).

If that is true that reposted (often called cross-posted) post makes a fully "featured" copy/backup on a different Lemmy instance, is there anything else that does it? Thank you

I've created the community [email protected] from an account on lemmy.zip, but want to use my tchncs.de account to moderate and run it, so I transferred the community to my tchncs.de account.

I've changed content in the sidebar and pinned a post to the top, but both of those changes don't federate from tchncs.de to lemmy.zip

You can see the changes when viewing the community from tchncs.de but you don't see the changes when viewing the community directly on lemmy.zip

Both instances run Lemmy 0.19.4

How can this be resolved?
