I’m smoking weed about it.

They don’t appear to have federation enabled yet.
3·2 years agoThat’s the plan. More than likely a final post in each community with a link to its new home will be stickied as well.
7·2 years agoEarly on we were experimenting with trying to offer everything on the fediverse from a Lemmy instance. A lot of changes and tweaks were made to try to make that work before it was abandoned. There’s a lot of leftover bloat from that project that we’ve been trying to deal with without too much impact to the Lemmy instance but for the size of the instance it makes more sense to start over than to spend even more time trying to undo the wrongs of the past. There isn’t a specific cautionary tale here besides “don’t go public with things that you hope to fix later.”
More recently we’ve had issues with our registrar or DNS pop up that no one seems to have answers for yet, so sometimes the domain itself isn’t reachable. One problem or the other might not be a huge deal in the short term but together they make for a miserable time trying to sort things out. Moving the traffic to a known good config will help me maintain sanity while dealing with the issues at WG.
Lemmy has mangled that script a bit.
Lemmy seems to mangle a lot of links that aren’t basic urls. SimpleX chat links break for some reason here too.
Thank you for the suggestions. At this point it seems the best option may be to just shutter this instance and start over with a fresh database instead of dealing with a bunch of nagging problems from previous experiments. I’ve done plenty of testing in production because for most of that time it was only me being affected by the consequences lol.

Very nice. Thank you for the continued work.
Maybe it’s part of your instance image policy?
Edit - Need coffee and weed before getting on Lemmy. I can’t read apparently and missed that you tried this on your own instance as well. My bad.
Throw the URL in tor and it should work fine.
8·2 years agoThe odds of someone only behaving that way in certain communities is probably slim to none. I’d just make sure you have clear rules in place so that if you ever have to take action against those types of people you aren’t immediately put on blast for power tripping or whatever.
Are you the sole moderator of whatever comm you’re talking about? Maybe you should talk to some of the other people who are active in the community, see if they are interested in helping mod, and decide together what the right course of action is.
Alternatively this is your chance to lay a few ground rules and then point to them when this behavior comes up again. Make it clear that human decency isn’t optional and that you won’t allow others to be trampled on just for a little bit of traffic in the community. This gives whoever may need it a chance to curb that behavior instead of immediately lowering the boom on them, and shows the rest of the community that you aren’t going after people on a personal vendetta.
Sorry, I completely forgot to announce !pokemonTCGP@walledgarden.xyz when I launched it.
Now trading is here and we’re having fun swapping cards. Come check us out!

I’m going with Oscar mostly because I’m constantly finding weed bits all over myself. I also really enjoy the idea of the “grouch” toking away in his little hideaway while everyone thinks he’s angry.

8·2 years agoVery interesting, thanks for sharing this with us!
Do you find that others notice it regularly in your daily life? I feel like I only notice other people’s shoes/feet if they are wearing something flashy or if they make a lot of noise like flip flops.
Yeah that would do it lol. Thanks for that info.
Apologies OP, I don’t keep up with who’s blocking who on Lemmy.
It could be that LBZ hasn’t discovered the community yet. If that’s the case you may have to try a couple times before it actually populates. One of many federation quirks. Here are some other links to try.
Fuck me, better do what they tell me!
