I'm a mod from r/TheArmedGayAgenda subreddit it's for lgbt+ firearms owners, we're working on our own lemmy instance but I was curious if we'd be welcome setting up a community here?

252
 
 

I have created a secondary account in this instance and soon realized I was having issues with posts displays. Curiously, I wasn't able to see any of the admins and several communities I browse with my main.

At first I though this was something about updating my settings or the account being too 'new', but I soon realized that several people have been posting with different language settings and that the default "Undetermined" is acting as a filter.

This is what the Community looks like when I have "Undetermined" on

And this is when I select "English"

Both Ada and Kaity can't be seen in the first mode, and I assume the same would go for anyone that uses the same setting as them.

Hi! It looks like the Hot and Active feeds aren't updating, at least for me. I was under the impression that a PR that fixed that got merged with 0.18.1, so I'm wondering if it's some other issue?

Does anyone know what might be happening; are the admins aware of the issue?

Thanks!

hi folks! :) im trying to make a community, but every time i hit the create button it makes a tiny loading circle and immediately craps out not even a second later. i tried making the community name shorter because that seems to work for other folks but even within the 20-character limit, this is still a problem. even when excluding the add images steps, it's still doing it. is my account too new or something? :0

Is the settings page broken for anyone else? I've tried to change my language and enable 2FA on both Firefox and Ungoogled Chromium. The button just spins for a split second, and then nothing. The language settings worked before the upgrade, so I'm wondering if anything broke?

I haven't found any fashion communities here on blahaj (and I miss oldhagfashion) so I created hagfashion and tried to make a post (twice), and I can't see them. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Figured it out...I needed to have 'see read posts' checked in my settings.😅

just 2 words, white mode please make it dark just like the upper part of the ace flag

We will be down for approximately an hour as we migrate the database server and address the current performance issues exacerbated by the concurrent twitter outage and reddit migration.

This will also impact blahaj.zone

I really really don't want any more posts from 'yiffit' coming across my feed. No hate to furries but I really don't wanna see sexual furry content.

How are you today? Hope yall are ok, happy wrath month

And please remember to practice self care. Straighten your backs and hydrate.

Remember to praise the patron deity of all trans folk, Blåhaj :3

I can see this taking up a lot of time! The interface for managing them isn't exactly snappy, but, it's more than we had before! :)

Do votes and comments not always federate with other instances? When I view the same post in different instances i.e. this instance and lemmy.world, they number of votes and comments are different. Is this because of some instances we are blocking?

Example:

We will be adding some extra buffer to our hardware and upgrading the the 0.18.1 release candidate in order to prepare for the possible membership surge.

SOLVED: Our subreddit had a longass name, and Lemmy has a 20 character limit

Hi! Reddit mod from a large-ish but well-known subreddit looking to move things to the Lemmy-verse but for some reason my and my co-mod have had absolutely zero luck for the last 4 days creating a community on any Lemmy server. Whenever we try to create one, we just get the little spinny button of death and it's never created.

Yes, even here on Blahaj.

Are we cursed?

We managed to create a magazine on Kbin (still glitchy but it's the only one that worked) but we're worried that if we don't snag that exact name on Lemmy, someone else will pounce on the name and grab it for clout, which would be very distressing because we've worked our asses off trying to grow that community.

What are we doing wrong? Are our usernames not cute enough? Did someone snag the name and is hiding it from us?

Help, we are not good with computers.

About a week and a half back, Jerboa on the Play Store received an update that added 0.18 support and started displaying a similar message whenever you logged in, but didn't actually block using the app or posting, but certain features were not working correctly.

As of the update yesterday, Jerboa crashes unceremoniously if you happen to be previously logged in on lemmy.blahaj.zone, and prevents fresh login with the message above.

I'm a bit worried about how the Jerboa devs are handling updates ☹️

Hello queer friends, So a few days ago I left reddit and I started looking into the fediverse as an alternative but the more I read the more confused I got XD So I would like some help please. I did read the "The Queer Guide to Finding a Fediverse Server" which was helpful but I would like more information.

I have come to understand that mastodon, kbin, lemmy and others just work as front ends to the fediverse so it's more personal preference?

I also found bookwyrm and since I have a goodreads account is it a good switch? And how would I go about connecting that to what ever front end I choose?

I have not decided what front end I will use, I know mastodon is the most used one but it's UI feels to much like twitter and I detest twitters UI. I wish there as something like tumblr but Lemmy is the one that is closer to that right even if it's modelled after reddit? Or I might just make it easy for myself and stay here I don't know.

All I know is that I'm currently feeling like the gif of that blond dude with the handlebar moustache saying "WTF".. XD

Also ELI5 because I'm not techy and I have dyslexia. I will probably ask more questions in the comments..

Tomorrow, reddit will be shutting off 3rd party app access. If the twitter migration is anything to go by, that means that the wave of new users coming in the next few weeks will be much bigger than the wave we saw earlier this month.

Our lead techy admin @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone is also recovering from broken bones and surgery, so she will be slower to respond to issues :)

All of that being said, we're as prepared as we can be. We're currently running our instance on hardware with excess capacity to spare, but who knows if it will be enough.

So, good luck to all of us, and see you on the other side :)

Hello everyone, I wanted to let you know.. I'm here to make a mess and sparkle rainbows all over the place! 💖🌈

Hii! =D

I saw the thread about difficulty signing in on Firefox. Now I can't sign in on Chrome. I cleared the cookies for all lemmy stuff. No help.

I'm here on Liftoff, but no love on the web ☹️

When possible, I think the server needs to be updated to be supported by Jerboa

Not sure though

I haven’t been able to sign in on Firefox desktop ever since the new upgrade/migration. I’ve tried disabling extensions but that hasn’t worked either. I’m on version 114.0.2 of firefox


EDIT: Resetting my password seems to have fixed the issue
