Anon sets the mood
  • reencoding is not required in advance, it happens on the fly if needed.

    download still needs to be completed first usually, but you can save a lot of time if you compromise in quality.

  • Comments on posts in home instance not showing up
  • this is probably somehow related to changes introduced somewhere in 0.19.4, I've been seeing this for months at this point, as we've been on a 0.19.4 pre-release relatively early due to done federation issues

  • Is there any way to find out if I've been blocked from a community?
  • if you're not community banned you might still be instance banned on the community instance, which wouldn't show up in your local instances modlog if the ban happened on a <0.19.4 instance. if the methods pointed out by other comments here fail I suggest you visit the instance of the community and check the site modlog there, searching for your user.

    i suspect you're referring to your post to a lemmy.ml community and you have indeed been instance banned there for a limited amount of time.

  • Man Booked For Using VPN In J&K's Rajouri, 3rd Such Case In 2 Days
  • until 0.19.4 is released, clients are supposed to suppress comment contents when the comment is either marked as removed (moderator) or deleted (creator).

    they might decide to show contents to site admins or community moderators anyway, but some clients did not implement this properly and show the original content to all users.

    this is of course not something that should have been available to everyone in the first place, which is why this is being fixed in 0.19.4.

    depending on the client, you should still see some kind of indicator above the comment text that shows it was removed or deleted, in this case removed.

  • Man Booked For Using VPN In J&K's Rajouri, 3rd Such Case In 2 Days
  • won't be the case for much longer, the next lemmy release is removing that.

    i suggest you remove this quote and summarize it with fewer details if you need to have it there in the first place. you're effectively advertising for them now and undoing the moderator action of removing this advertisement.

  • When someone tries to downvote me on Reddthat
  • Are those downvotes maybe coming from non-Lemmy instances?

    As an admin you should be able to see the downvotes of the post that made it to your instance.

    I'm wondering if some software might be broadcasting votes to all linked instances, while I believe Lemmy only sends them to the community instance and it's the community instance's responsibility to relay them.

  • Liking an OS isn't a personality trait ❌
  • The OEM version is working fine, as the drivers are embedded there. My point was that without this recovery partition you tend to run into issues on newer devices, as the MS bundled drivers get updated only infrequently.

  • Liking an OS isn't a personality trait ❌
  • even on Windows 10/11, I'm still frequently hearing about issues at work where the necessary ssd drivers are only included in the default windows installer (not the recovery shipped with the device) like half a year later. at least with Dell this seems to be a common theme.

  • Introducing Steam Families
  • you're not getting banned from steam, you're generally getting banned from participating in anti cheat secured lobbies of a single game or a group of games.

    single player experience is generally not affected.

    having a 3 strike system before getting banned from multiplayer just means it's 66% cheaper for a cheater to get a new copy of the game.

    this is also not new and has been the case for the current family sharing system as well.

  • Removal of some kbin.social communities

    Hello Reddthat,

    Similar to other Lemmy instances, we're facing significant amounts of spam originating from kbin.social users, mostly in kbin.social communities, or as kbin calls them, magazines. Unfortunately, there are currently significant issues with the moderation of this spam. While removal of spam in communities on other Lemmy instances (usually) federates to us and cleans it up, removal of spam in kbin magazines, such as those on kbin.social, is not currently properly federated to Lemmy instances.

    In the last couple days, we've received an increased number of reports of spam in kbin.social magazines, of which a good chunk had already been removed on kbin.social, but these removals never federated to us. While these reports are typically handled in a timely manner by our Reddthat Admin Team, as reports are also sent to the reporter's instance admins, we've done a more in-depth review of content in these kbin.social magazines. Just today, we've banned and removed content from more than 50 kbin.social users, who had posted spam to kbin.social magazines within the last month.

    Several other larger Lemmy instances, such as lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, and programming.dev have already decided to remove selected kbin.social magazines from their instances to deal with this.

    As we also don't want to exclude interactions with other kbin users, we decided to only remove selected kbin.social magazines from Reddthat, with the intention to restore them once federation works properly. By only removing communities with elevated spam volumes, this will not affect interactions between Lemmy users and kbin users outside of kbin magazines. kbin users are still able to participate in Reddthat and other Lemmy communities.

    For now, the following kbin magazines have been removed from Reddthat:

    To get an idea of the spam to legitimate content ratio, here's some screenshots of posts sorted by New:

    All the removed by mod posts mean that the content was removed by Reddthat admins, as the removals on kbin.social did not find their way to us.

    If you encounter spam, please keep reporting it, so community mods and we admins can keep Reddthat clean.

    If you're interested in the technical parts, you can find the associated kbin issue on Codeberg.

    Regards, example and the Reddthat Admin Team

    TLDR

    Due to spam and technical issues with the federation of spam removal from kbin, we've decided to remove selected kbin.social magazines (communities) until the situation improves.
