Discussions related to Infosec.pub

Lemmy and kbin have been... exciting to set up and debug.

There is a new version of lemmy in RC right now that should fix most of the issues we've been seeing, or at least give error messages that indicate what is going on.

I don't seem to be able to comment on any posts on other lemmy instances. For example https://infosec.pub/c/privacyguides@lemmy.one . When I try to comment it just spins. I expected issues with lemmy.ml but I've now tried several instances and experience the same problems.

Also comments on many posts don't match what you see if you go directly to the remote instance to view the thread.

Is there some federation issue with infosec.pub?

Somtimes when I post to other instances I have issues when I don't set the language. I think there is normally a "Undetermined" lanuage on lemmy but this instance doesn't offer it. Could this be the root of some UI issues? Is this set correctly and what does it mean for my profile not to have selected undetermined?

Currently infosec.pub doesn't seem to have any favicon. This makes it harder to identify which tabs and similar. It would be nice if it could be added!

This is less of a question for the local ownership, more of one for other folks here to check the temperature of the room.

I've been having troubles subscribing to communities on lemmy.ml, just getting stuck at "subscribe pending". I figure they're probably overwhelmed but I'm also new to Lemmy and am curious if other folks are seeing similar troubles. Is it just our instance?

@infosecpub testing posting from #mastodon

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...

@jerry@infosec.pub I took the liberty to promote this instance a bit here, the post is this one.

I'd like to help growing a community, is there anything we could do?

What am I doing wrong. I know that community exists. Just cant sub to it through my account.

Is there a way to enforce certain templates on submissions within a community?

I was fighting a holy crusade against content marketers on r/cloudsecurity and I required to have submission statements. Is there a way to do something similar on here?

Should I implement a bot of some sort?

Basically the title. I’m here from the Reddit exodus but I’ve been on mastodon before. But I’m not sure what happens when an instance goes offline or goes down, will I have to make a new account on a different instance instead? Do I lose all my data? Thank you :)

Hey everyone. I just joined and am a current member over at infosec.exchange. Is there any good way to leverage Mastodon in Lemmy, or visa-versa?

I've tried a few times to search for [!sysadmin@discuss.tchncs.de](/c/sysadmin@discuss.tchncs.de), which seems to be the right way to find remote communities and the two servers should be federated with each other. I'm getting no results. Am I doing something wrong?

I subscribed to !localllama@sh.itjust.works and while posts show, all of them show 0 comments.

If I go to https://sh.itjust.works/c/localllama it shows all posts having comments.

I've just come from the reddit exodus and I'm looking around for some documentation or info on the privacy & security on infosec.pub and/or lemmy as a platform - how our logins are stored and whether data is accessible by developers / other parties.

Does anyone know where I can find more information on this? (Or if not could you shed some light)

This platform seems incredibly promising and I'm sick of reddit's ways now, but i want to read up before I fully commit. Many thanks!

(Edit - sorry if this isn't an appropriate place for this by the way, just seemed a sensible community to put it in!)

sometimes when I post it hangs for awhile, is it just loading or is it issue federating or something else?

Just wanted to say thank you for putting this Instance up. It seems lightning fast and I had no trouble logging in, unlike almost all the other Lemmy instances I tried during this mass Reddit exodus.

Really appreciate you @jerry@infosec.exchange!

Hi!

I'm trying to get a better understanding of the longer term reliability of this instance. Is there any kind of about page or similar where I can read up on how it's setup, financed, managed etc?
