Getting caught in a large rainstorm in the evening while on a mountain trail with 3 more hours of rocky descent to go.

I was really surprised to hear this, so I dug a little deeper. It looks like an honest mistake.

Here's what their admin said:

We unintionally did until about 8 hours ago.

Lemmy.ml has a ton of bot crawlers in its nginx logs spam fetching posts, so I added the bots to an nginx block. Turns out one called kbinbot wasn’t actually a crawling bot, but their federation requester.

If we don’t respond quickly, its because we have notification backlogs that are months long at this point.

I think while the general communities have made it, a lot of niche communities failed to attract enough population to keep on generating more content. As an example, just search for the "Imaginary" series of landscape art communities on the Fediverse (eg. ImaginaryVistas). Many of them don't have any recent posts or 1 post per days or weeks. That's not enough to keep people invested. Even the largest digital art community is still mostly carried by 1 person.

I'm not sure wtf you just said, but lemmy.world feels very smooth today, so thank you for your continued hard work!

Just a week and a half ago, we were celebrating going from #2 to #1 most populous instance. And just 2 weeks before that, I had no idea what a lemmy was.

It's like catching a nice surf wave.

I hope at the least that the Beehaw communities are removed from the List of Communities/All page since anyone from this server subscribing to them won't receive any updates. Meanwhile, they are taking up space and preventing other communities from reaching the higher ranks.

I agree with you.

I think a lot of the value and entertainment of these text/story-based communities comes from seeing other commenters interact with the post and with each other.

Some of the bots are putting out too much primary content for the number of users in that community. I think they should limit the posts to 1-2/day so that viewers can get concentrated onto those posts and hopefully generate some comments. As the population grows, more posts can be done per day by the bot, or ideally, switch to actual people submitting posts.

1. Do the maneuver @Dadbod89@lemmy.world suggested.

2. Try Flonase. Helps a lot but takes 1-2 weeks to start to work.

3. See a doc if things persist.

The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.

We really need the lemmy version of a multireddit - some way to group up your subscribed communities into categories. This way you can lasso together all the communities that cover the same topic but were created on different instances. That’s at the basic level.

At the advanced level, I hope someone can come up with an algorithm to merge duplicate posts/news sources/etc together so that it looks like one centralized post, even though it is decentralized on the backend.

Salt in Coffee.

I like how it looks exactly like reddit's status page, especially considering they just released old.lemmy.world.

What standing desk is that ?

Should the instances that responded to you be refederrated? I’m pretty sure I saw some of them on lemmy.world’s block list. I think it would be sad for these small servers to not realize they are, in fact, not connected to the greater fediverse. On the other hand, if you’re an admin, and you don’t know what you’re doing to the point of not knowing your server was infected by hundreds of thousands of bots, maybe it’s too dangerous to refed.

And… we’re back!

Congrats to the winner of Week #1.

Will @Alchemy@lemmy.world be saving all of these for an end of the year best of the best battle?

Consider undervolting (via Throttlestop or Intel XTU) to prolong your laptop’s longevity and possibly mildly increase its performance. For the same CPU workload, undervolting will reduce the amount of heat generation and therefore the temperature of the CPU, thereby decreasing the risk of hitting the CPU’s temperature throttling and risk of CPU damage.

There are ready guides on youtube and r/gaminglaptops sub, but I’ll leave reddit links out for now. Just search for your laptop model since the exact values will depend on the model and also on luck. If you’re lucky, you can undervolt a lot without causing instabilities.

That drone live view was pretty nice.

I feel like it would be a bot purge or lemmy.world and several other instances being down from the hacking.

Hello. I moved to Reddit with the Digg Exodus, and now I'm here. History does repeat itself.

It absolutely can become a problem in the areas of advertising, politics, propaganda, misinformation, and scams.

Once out of the spotlight of the immediate popular phase (say, a month or a year after the initial post) and the greater scrutiny that carries, imagine changing the title to something anti-vax, or painting a company in a better light (Nestle did nothing wrong!), or endorsing a fake research result (global warming is not man-made and just a natural cycle!), or just flat out putting in a web address to a phishing site since you know someone’s grandma will click on it.

Sauce.

Oh good to know. I guess I only really caught reddit downtimes in the past.

Luckily I did bring my flashlight and batteries, otherwise I would have been screwed. I did not plan to stay up so late, but the ascent to the ridge hike took longer than anticipated, and of course, what was a sunny day in the morning progressed to clouds and rainstorm by the afternoon, which continued into the night.

I continued as best as I can. I was acutely aware of the danger of a trip and fall that might break an ankle and hypothermia - some parts of the hike still had snow, and anytime I stopped, I could feel the cold seeping in.

In the end, I reached my car at around 10 PM.

0.18.0 adds that option as well as top 6 and top 12 hours.

You can check out how it functions on lemmy.ml since they're on 0.18.

Never tried DnD - but is it tile-based? If so, Baldur’s Gate and related games might count.

There isn't anything yet that I'm aware of.

The closest match I'm aware of is:

Digital Art

I'm waiting for people to start the more specialized art subs...

I have not been part of any major (to the point that it's widely known and infamous) singular mod abuse, but I would say collectively, mods for some of the brand- or product-based subreddits downplaying or censoring valid criticisms and concerns about the product. I think it can be very insidious, especially in a discussion-based content aggregator system where you assume discussions are started from a grassroots perspective.

Much further back… Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The party was founded on anti- slavery. The current party has nothing to do with the original party.

I had this exact same problem as well with one of my posts. You can actually edit your post, delete the picture you uploaded, and reupload the photoshop one. That'll also fix the post's icon.

I think this guy is the source, but I can't find this exact photo in his gallery.
