mods can remove other mods if they are below them in the moderator list. for moderators higher up admin intervention is required.
as the default lemmy ui doesn’t exactly make it easy to manage moderators in a community if they haven’t posted or commented there recently i recommend using tesseract for this, where you can easily do this and much more in the community settings.
i see. for PWAs that’s expected, for the native app i would’ve expected a consistent UA for all requests.
our current blocks/challenges are explicitly targeting things that pretend to be browsers while not actually being browsers. we try to exclude requests that are expected to be accessed by browser based clients that aren’t directly on the main site. appending to browser user agents still matches our browser user agent detection.
i’m not sure why this was causing issues here though, especially with the login, as that should just be 100% api stuff and therefore use VoyagerApp/1.0 from the native app?
Hi,
this was possibly an unintended side-effect of our increasingly aggressive AI crawler DDoS blocking. When increasing the scope of issuing Cloudflare challenges we missed excluding API endpoints from the rule, that should be fixed now.
This should only have affected clients with browser user agents though, and I see requests with user agent VoyagerApp/1.0. @aeharding@vger.social do you know if Voyager can send browser-like user agents when installed from App Store?
lemmy currently doesn’t have granular federation controls. the only option right now is to defederate from mbin instances, but other instances might still announce your users’ votes to mbin instances. the more hacky way would be to also block federation related http requests from mbin instances to prevent them from retrieving user profiles, which is probably the most effective method that could be used.
piefeds non-federated votes are a user setting for the default value and users have the option for each vote whether it should be federated. see also https://piefed.social/post/982478
as explained in this post, the original implementation of “private voting” has already been replaced with non-federated voting, which addresses the abuse concerns, as it’s then limited to just the instance the votes are cast on.
it’s the software, similar to how you’re using lemmy right now
no notification of a moderation event
lemmy.world has notifications for local users or users in local communities for removed content.
piefed is a fair bit younger, the first commitin the git repo was on Fri Jul 28 02:07:44 2023 +0000. it has only in recent months started really picking up some traction with several lemmy instances already creating piefed instances as well.
did you see an orange/white cloudflare error page or something else? i tried searching for it in our server logs but i don’t find it.
you may however have hit an outage we had for several minutes around an hour before your comment due to running out of memory on the host.
lemmy doesn’t support subscribing to users, but you can subscribe to communities the same way you’d subscribe to other communities from other instances.
what kind of error did you see and what did you click on? a link to a post?
piefed doesn’t support animated media yet, iirc it doesn’t work in posts either
pixelfed supports signing in with mastodon, not sure about others
pretty much, yeah. different people, different programming languages, some feature differences, etc. but still the same content.
nobody needs to move to another platform. both lemmy and piefed show the same content, think of it more like using a different client that also has different features. both lemmy.world and piefed.world will continue to exist.
not that i know of. old.lemmy.world is a whole separate user interface, but a similar look can probably be achieved with themes alone.
no, accounts are completely separate.
piefed does have some social auth support, which is currently also being worked on, but lemmy is not an auth provider that can be used with that. once social auth in piefed becomes more stable we will consider enabling it for supported providers.
the communities !rollerblading@lemmy.world and !monsterhunter@lemmy.world have both been deleted by their creators indeed.
here’s your rollerblading post:
Hello! I’m going to make a short review of the USD Aeon 80 Team inline skates, aimed at those who are considering buying them but are indecisive, like I was. To give some background, I’ve set foot in an inline skate one year ago, after last skating 15 year prior as a kid, when I only skated around the streets.
So last year I was searching for a skate which would allow me to cruise around the streets, use them for commuting, and occasionally learning some tricks at the skatepark. The skate that naturally presented itself was this skate, as it has large wheels (80 mm), and a soulplate and H-block for grinding. My biggest concern was about the unibody construction where the frame and the boot are one piece of plastic, i.e. no replaceable frame. Finally I decided to buy them, and here are my thoughts:
They are perfect! And I say that from a standpoint where I rarely go on the streets, but instead I go in the skatepark on average once a week throughout the year, and have been doing that for the last year (I very quickly switched the preferred way of usage). Anyway, for a level of skating where you don’t grind 24/7 on everything, the plastic will not wear down, so there is very little concern regarding the unreplaceable frame - it will not wear down as quickly as you may think. I’ve been practicing grinds in the park for the last year, and very little wear occurred. Granted, the grinds were on metal pipes and not on concrete, but still. If you’re not a hardcore grinder, the frame will not need replacement anytime soon
One other concern was if the grinds were even possible for a complete beginner like me, given the small H-block. Absolutely! I’ve learned the soul, acid, mizue and pornstar which require the H-block, and am in the process of learning the frontside (on which I’m not getting wheelbite in practice). The only problem I’ve encountered so far regarding grinds is the royale, but the reason for that is the height of the soulplate (and also the fact that I’m a beginner), which makes it hard to bend the foot so much to the required angle such that is touches the rail. Having said all that, for a beginner like me the “small” H-block did not present any issue.
Even though I now ride mostly in parks, I still commute with them and occasionally cruise around the city, and they are absolutely good for that too. No complaints here. You can normally do all the curves and power stops without touching the ground with the soulplate.
Now some additional comments. The main buckle… it is a good buckle which you need need to cut at the proper length so that it does not get in the way. However, when you skate with you legs too close together, one buckle can attach on the buckle of the other skate, and so one skate gets loose. Luckily, even though I experienced this multiple times during my sessions, I never fell because of that, the skates only get loose so you need to rebuckle. This is the only “complaint” I have for these skates.
The 45° buckle also needs to be shortened to the appropriate length to not get in the way (can also be seen from the above picture how long it is).
Lastly, regarding sizing. My feet are 266 and 268 mm long, and cca. 10 cm wide, and as per official recommendation I got the 41-42 and they fit PER-FECT-LY! Also, I recommend watching this video about new skates, includes fitting and other things.
To recap, the main concerns that I see people have about these skates are:
Both of these in my situation did not present any problems, even though I too had big concerns about them, but decided to just go for it, and now I’m happily writing this review.
Hope this helps someone clear their doubts and make their decision :)
For the last year I’ve been logging my sessions with all the tricks I’ve been learning, so I can share that too if you’re interested, and to further strengthen the argument that they are a perfectly good skate for the park!
All in all, I’ve been using them at least once a week throughout the last year, and these were all the observations I made.
P.S. I’ve been planning to post this on reddit, but given the circumstances I’m writing it here, in hopes to give a little boost to this community regarding content and visibility.

when we become aware of it we’re also taking it down quickly
edit: mixed up tabs when replying, thought I was in a more recent crosspost of this
we’re currently looking into some performance issues, we’re looking into updating to the latest version this weekend, which fixes a few potential deadlocks. lately we’ve been getting DB deadlocks rather frequently, which results in significantly worse performance until we restart one of the services.
