They’re all bot accounts.

You’re welcome. I think there should be a better way to communicate a removed or banned community. Maybe like a “removed/banned community for X reason” sign instead of the “community_not_found” error page.

I’m guessing the community was banned and purged by lemmy.ml.

edit: Their modlog says that they removed this community.

Not possible at all right now. GIFs can be converted to video format depending on the server configuration.

One tool that I liked from Reddit was manually approving posts from accounts under a certain age or karma threshold. I hope we can get tools like that one day.

I believe those bans are people who are banned from their home instances and can’t interact with the rest of Lemmy with that account as a result. If I ban another user from a different instance, that doesn’t mean they’re banned everywhere but only from my instance. Correct me if I’m wrong.

The favicon is the instance icon. You can change it in Admin Settings > Icon from the web interface.

20 iirc

It’s possible they purged it which completely removes it from the db.

Video hosting is very expensive. Not only does it consume so much disk space, it’s difficult to transcode these videos. It needs a lot of CPU power or a capable iGPU/GPU which most instances probably don’t have. I would love to have short videos on Lemmy but I’m hoping there are lots of available encoding options in place so we can fine tune it to fit our hardware.

For now, I think a good solution is video embedding and a better “player” for the front end. I’ve tried a few apps and I can watch videos from catbox.moe seamlessly with them.

It generates full size images if I’m not mistaken. At least in my instance, that’s the case. Using WEBP and setting resolution limits with pictrs helps reduce the storage costs but this applies to all of your images. It isn’t consistent though. Sometimes it doesn’t generate these images, sometimes it does.

There’s a PR for it. Hopefully we get it on the next update.

This is gonna be a weird share. In highschool, we had a class where we had to identify hurtful stereotypes pushed by advertisers and we used this ad. Part of the activity was to modify the ad in a way to “fix” it. Since we had no photoshop skills, we added mustaches to the women and changed some text like removing “babe-magnet” and erased “WO” so it’s just “MEN”. It was pretty dumb but we thought it was pretty funny.

I don’t think there really is a way. The upload limit is defined by nginx (or any webserver) and the pictrs config.

It’s disabled on lemmy.ml - yes.

You need access to the database and admins can just outright refuse to do anything about locked accounts.

Admins can if you ask them to.

You can try disabling 2FA if you’re logged on to your lemmy.ml account from another device. Otherwise, try contacting one of the admins. They can remove 2FA for you.

I was getting posts that are months old when I sorted by Hot. They fixed it and now posts are actually “Hot”.

edit: If you’re asking how they fixed it, check this issue.

I believe that’s something only admins can set for the entire instance.
