This comes up once in a while, and not just with feddit.online. I’ve never figured it out. I only know that eventually the problem disappears and the login happens. My theory is that somewhere the login error is getting cached, and regardless of whether you enter the correct credentials, you get the failure from the cache.

I’ve wanted to test this by refreshing the entire instance cache while it’s happening to see if it would help, but cache entries time out eventually, and maybe this is what resolved it for you. Had you not had it self-resolved, then I would have tried the cache refresh.

I’m going to do more investigation this weekend.

Thanks for reporting it.

This is how Federation works. What PieFed does is it tries to initialize the new community with the last 50 posts, if it can. New posts will federate going forward…

@wjs018@piefed.social: Can you comment? You’re close to the code.

It’s a reaction to this news article: https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/10/google-sent-personal-and-financial-information-of-student-journalist-to-ice/

Excellent and impressive! A big THANK YOU to all the devs!

Hi,
I went ahead and unpinned them. Thanks for pointing it out.

I don’t see any way to set a moderator to just be able to unpin.

I opened an issue for this: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/1075

The developers usually respond quickly.

I’m an Admin with a bunch of public servers. If someone was as disrespectful to me, as the one here whining about their ban, I’d permanently block them from every one of my servers as well. It’s not the mod who is power tripping, it’s the one whining about getting kicked out after posting an incredibly stupid and rude response.

And, Deceptichum, you came here and lied about why you were banned just to try to get revenge on the mod. Your ban had nothing to do with additional perspectives, and you knew it when you made the claim here. Maybe, the only honesty you’ve exhibited is your name.
