Blahaj Lemmy Meta

Hi everyone, I'll begin migrating the lemmy blåhaj database to the new server this morning in about 20 minutes.

Expected duration is about 1 hour for this migration.

There will be a maintenance page up during the migration and I will be updating the status as we go to keep you updated on the process.

Later today I'll also be upgrading the software to the latest release as well.

I wasn't able to access the instance for a few hours today and was wondering if it went down. Everything seems to be relatively fine now.

So I can't seem to access Blahaj communities from lemmy.blahaj.zone today via web browser or app. I just get a generic "Error! There was an error on our server."

But accessing the communities from my alt accounts work just fine.

I primarily use Jerboa to access Lemmy

Is this just a me thing or is it happening to more people? And any tips on how to fix this if it is just a me thing?

Edit: Looks like it's been fixed, hell yeah!

Hello! Basically as the title says. If there's a community I'm part of that seems to have fallen foul of the "everyone got excited about a month ago, set up communities, then left" phenomenon, is there a process for getting more mods assigned to it so things can be dealt with until the owner hopefully returns?

Apologies if this is already written down somewhere, I did search first but it's early morning and I am not at my smartest!

Any advice very much appreciated.

When I open Trending Communities, which is hosted on feddit.nl, through Blahaj Lemmy Zone I can't see any posts - or more like I could see two yeasterday, then one of them disappeared, now nothing shows up. If I open it through through their instance, I can see all the posts.

Any idea why or how to fix this?

Thanks

EDIT: Now it's working :?

Just posting over here to put out some good vibes about blahaj.zone, admins seems to be wrestling with some demons and while I'm sad that it's down, I have faith it will be back for us all soon

Hi!

So I put in my username, my password, I watch the bright red login button go spinny for a couple moments, and then I get this screen, where it tells me I am Schrodinger's Logged In. Logged in, but also not logged in.

It seems to work in Chrome, but I very much prefer using Firefox for privacy reasons. :)

Hello! I'm sure I'm missing something but I'm not able to see some communities on instances that I think we're federated with? the main one I can think of is the destiny community on lemmy.world. I can see other lemmy.world communities so I'm unsure as to why I can't see that one

I just had some struggles logging into my account. I got in on Firefox Desktop and Jerboa after a password reset, but I still can't log in on Firefox for Android. When I try to log in, it says "logged in" in a small popup, but it's not logged in.

It's not that big of a problem for me, but I can imagine if someone has that problem without using an app it could get annoying.

Edit: It's a problem of moderate size for me now.

So i understand that blahaj.zone is a calckey instance and calckey is based on misskey and using an api called activitypub. But can i access mastodon with calckey? I have heard that people can access lemmy with mastodon, though i am not sure how. I have not yet tried mastodon yet. And does anyone have a mastodon suggestion or should i try calckey?

When I try to post something I get this error:

{"data":{"msg":"Couln't upload file, Error in DB, IO error: Os { code: 28, kind: StorageFull, message: \"No space left on device\" }","files":null},"state":"success"}

I was getting timeout errors.

I have a process which copies emojos from the hajkey blahaj.zone site to our lemmy.

Last night (for me) it copied an invalid emojo into the database and it broke lemmy for hours while Ada and I were sleeping.

I've found the issue and fixed it now, so everything should be purring along once again, but for those who were left without the instance to use, I sincerely apologise.

Seems that some hard drive filled up and I can't upload images.

Hi everyone.

Lemmy had an XSS vulnerability and we were one of the instances attacked through this vulnerability. We had our homepage replaced by a youtube video.

The lemmy devs were quick to create a PR for this issue and we have patched our instance to fix it,

Also while I do not believe any login tokens were compromised, we have taken the additional measure of rotating our secret ket, so everyone will have to login to the site again as your existing credentials will no longer be valid.

Sorry that this happened, if you have any questions please contact @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone or myself.

My account here seems to work still on wefwef but when I try to open lemmy.blahaj.zone in browsers it's showing a broken YouTube link

Is something going on with the server? The embed links to https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z1K4BUtHsO4

Hey so I’m looking for the rules of the instance as a whole and can’t seem to find them, they’re not in the sidebar?

I've noticed on both the website and apps I'm on, the hot/active feed still hasn't refreshed. Is this just an issue on my end?

And I've never wanted to hug the mods on Blahaj.zone more for saving us from the horror that is that site

I personally am quite against it. I joined Lemmy to stay away from the toxicity on Meta's platforms. I don't want any corporate bodies on the fediverse either and possibly doing to the fediverse what Google did to XMPP

I've heard some people use that word so describe Lemmy users.

The Mastodon instances that I'm a member of have all preemptively defederated and I am very supportive. Just occurred to me we could still see the threads folks over here. What do you guys think? How does this instance feel about Meta?

EDIT: Admin response her https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/728123

This community is for discussions specific to the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, but it seems like we get lots of comments from other instances who have no real stake in the matter. I imagine the vast majority are well-meaning people who just don’t really understand federation well yet and don’t understand they’re commenting on a totally different instance’s internal matter.

I wonder if it would be possible to make this community read-only for non-Blahaj Zone accounts? And if it’s possible, does anyone else (on this instance 😉) think it’s a good idea?
