For everything you’ve always wanted to know about Lemmy but were afraid to make a post for.
It seems as if my timeline never refreshes.
Funny, my timeline refreshes too much
Is there a way to see this servers block list? Like what other instances or communities this server blocks?
I found the answer to my own question in another thread in case anyone else is curious: https://vlemmy.net/instances
I didn’t even know this was a thing. I thought we could see all instances via the fediverse no matter the server.
I think it’s actually an important feature though. I imagine those that host and run the instances don’t want to automatically be downloading and distributing illegal content. I’m pretty sure if you subscribe to a different instances community that content is then downloaded and served by vlemmy. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.
Yep, type server’s home URL + /instances and it should show every instance that they follow or block.
for example, it would be https://vlemmy.net/instances for this one.
Thank you!
👍
Is there a reason I don’t see all comments when browsing from another instance? It shows 1 or 2 comments when there are usually dozens.
If there is a specific Lemmy software version mismatch, it only shows cached comments from before that change.
Is ‘Hot’ broken for anyone else?
It’s set to ‘All’ and ‘Hot’ here.
I get that too. I can only guess that the algorithm is looking at how many total upvotes and views the post has, and probably doesn’t account for how old it is.
I’d like to thank the admin for the great work! I’ve just migrated from Lemmy.ml to help spread the load. I was wondering why when I subscribe to some communities I get “pending”. Is it due to the new account?
Yeah the subscribe pending is most likely their end, alot of instances are being slammed atm with so many new users, what community is it your trying to subscribe to?
I’ll add for what it’s worth I’m having ‘pending’ on many communities I have tried to join some 4-7 days ago maybe, but yeah I’ll wait.
I can’t subscribe to any community on Lemmy.ml. it’s pending for “books”, " linux", world news" on there.
I’ve found that if I goto my sub list and tap again on the pending community it stops trying, then I tap subscribe again and it goes through.
Hi, I’m new to Lemmy and the fediverse. I learned how to subscribe to other instances but I am not seeing all of the comments unless I go directly to that instance.
For example: I have an account on vlemmy.net. I do not have an account on slrpnk.net If I go to [email protected] through vlemmy I see fewer comments than if I go through slrpnk.
Is this working as intended? Here is a link to a pair of screenshots demonstrating my problem.
I’m wondering if this is a bug or not:
When I open up the VLemmy home page, I see in the side panel a list of “trending communities”, such as arknights. However when I open the community, there are zero posts, zero users per month, and only 2 subscribers. Are posts just not showing up, or is the “trending” measurement not what I think it means?
Are there any plans yet to update the server to v0.18? Just wondering because I get an error when trying to log in with jerboa.
EDIT: It’s done.
*sigh* This subscription problem is getting curiouser and curiouser. I’m able to subscribe to /c/[email protected] and /c/[email protected] but I still can’t see any posts on either.
I decided to make a post on /c/peertube to see if it would show up. It shows up there, and I can see it here on VLemmy, but that’s the only post I can see. Anyone else have this problem?
Why are people making multiple communities with the same topic on different servers and all of them having only few users? Wouldn’t it be better that only one community is made per topic and everyone would go there? For example there are 3 star trek communities and 2 star trek the next generation communities, or there are 5 ufo/ufos communities
Is anyone else seeing double posts / comments?
I see a few every now and then, mostly from lemmy.world, but a few from other instances. Is this a problem on our side or theirs?
Doubling posts like that are normally caused by a partial timeout as their end is probably overloaded
How does vlemmy plan to support itself? I understand as Lemmy grows and vlemmy is subscribed to more and more communities, it will need to replicate those remote instances and that costs money. As members, what should we expect?
as of now, how much resources the server hosting an instance requires, how much perhaps if content and instances double the size? Is that a burden for other instances to have a yet another instance to sync with? if people self-hosted instances for one or a few people only would that make sense?
Is there a way hide a specific community from showing up in my “all” feed? For example, there are communities in different languages that I don’t need. I’m hesitant to just “Block community” in case this somehow affects other users, the same way “subscribe” causes remote communities to start showing up in everyones’ feeds here.
Blocking only blocks communities for you, not for anyone else. Subscribing only pulls posts for everyone because your subscription forces the servers to federate, but that happens whenever users from the instances interact.
if im the only person subscribed to a community in this instance, will all the comments and upvotes eventually sync? ive had issues where on c/not_interesting the comments and upvotes were wildly out of sync, with vlemmy showing 2 upvotes, but the original instance showing like 50 upvotes + 6 comments
The comments and upvotes should synch up eventually, as your instance is fetching all the data about the post in question from the other instance. If you keep having trouble with this, that might justify starting a separate support thread.
Is there a way to add links to communities so that the domain part gets its data based on from where the end-user is viewing the website? For example if I view this finnish community that shows related communities on its sidebar, the links takes to their homeserver and I can’t subscribe from there https://vlemmy.net/c/[email protected]
Instead the links on the sidebar should take to https://vlemmy.net/c/<community name>@<host> right?
Yes, you can have links that work like that. They follow this structure: /c/[email protected]. A generalized link like that will work on any instance that has loaded that community before.
Edit: I fixed my link.
Your demonstration is not showing up on jerboa for lemmy app nor with mobile bromite browser. Everything that’s inside ()'s doesn’t show. I can see it after I click reply hmmm
edit: works now thanks:) also I swear the sidebar links at that suomi community I mentioned didn’t use that way of linking before but now the links take me to vlemmy 👀
