MrKaplan Mod , in What's changed in the Alexandrite interface?
@MrKaplan@lemmy.world avatar

The !alexandrite community is probably a better place to ask this.

a.lemmy.world just runs the latest version of alexandrite, although there haven't been any updates recently.

ikidd OP ,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

I cleared my cache recently, maybe there was a cookie in there that isn't being created in later versions?

Didn't realize there was a /c/, I'll post in there or create a github bug.

Thanks.

Edit: hooboy, 7 mo ago is last post, I think I see where that's going to go.

if everything works people typically don't post.

although @sheodox hasn't had any activity here recently, that doesn't necessarily mean he's not active. also, there might be other people who had the same issue and found a solution, which there probably is one if this just started recently.

or maybe there won't be a response, but you won't find out if you don't try.

Hasn't been updated since March 4th at least that's what github shows...

MBM , in We have GOT to do something about these bots....

You're getting a lot of downvotes in this thread, are people trying to be funny or am I missing something

Lost_My_Mind OP ,

I think they're trying to be funny. I've also noticed a mild uptick in downvotes overall. Used to be 1 downvote per comment. Now it's like 2-3 per comment, but it's not consistant. So I'm thinking that'll die off when they get bored. It doesn't feel like automatic bot downvote style.

Here is a thread from my instance discussing the problem: https://aussie.zone/comment/9484368

MrKaplan Mod , in We have GOT to do something about these bots....
@MrKaplan@lemmy.world avatar

looking at your recent comments from the last 3 days, many of your comments don't have any downvotes. am I missing something?

Pronell ,

Have they lost their mind?

Lost_My_Mind OP ,

Here's a good example.

https://lemmy.world/comment/10869251

Posted on a post that was last commented on 26 days ago. I post that comment, and now within 2 minutes, downvote. Another different comment in the same topic, same thing, within 5 minutes.

Lemmeenym ,

I would assume "on the ropes" was a reference to Andre being a wrestler. Don't think it was meant to be about his death.

Lost_My_Mind OP ,

He made it sound like it was a dark joke that he was appologizing for. To my knowledge Andre didn't get involved in anything dark. So death is the first thing that comes to mind for me. I probably am wrong, because either way I still don't get why the joke would be funny in either case.

this doesn't seem to be targeted against you, just someone not liking the comment. some people order their feed by e.g. active, so such cases will show up quickly.

Gnugit , in We have GOT to do something about these bots....

Since the new update some instances are counting votes at zero.

Lost_My_Mind OP ,

I'm not sure how you see the upvotes/downvotes, but on my UI I see in the upper right, the total calculated votes. But in the lower left I see Upvotes, and Downvotes individually. Plus when I post, my upvoting my own comment is automatic.

afk_strats , in We have GOT to do something about these bots....

Are you sure you're not just on someone's bad side? Why do you suspect this is bots?

Today ,

Someone commented the other day that they thought their ex was following then and down voting every comment. I do sometimes see posts or comments with one downvote and wonder why.

Lost_My_Mind OP ,

Because it's so consistant. Exactly one downvote on most of my comments within minutes of it being posted. I could see if I were on someones bad side, and they did this for like a week........this has been since day 1 of me being here, and it's almost every comment.

The ONLY thing I could think of that would piss someone off to stalk a profile like that, is if someone who uses and loves linux is THAT upset that I don't understand linux. But the consistancy of it is just........I can't imagine this is human. It's just been going on for so long, on too many posts, and almost immediately after posting a comment. You'd think they'd give up if it were a human.

afk_strats ,

I went through your comment history and I think you pass the vibe check, as in, there's no reason someone should down vote by default. I think something is up but a bot targeting a random account seems weird. Which client do you use?

Lost_My_Mind OP ,

Mostly my phone. I just use the samsung browser and go to the site directly. No app. Right now I'm on my tablet. Same concept, samsung tablet. Samsung browser.

Oddly enough, I can't use my PC at home. Firefox just will not load Lemmy, and I don't know why. It loads parts of it......but the bulk of the page is just an endless spinny circle.

Hi,

It could be that there was a short term issue on the backend, did you select a language? Do you use a vpn?

Zombiepirate OP , (edited )

Thanks for the feedback!

I did select a language, and I do use a VPN.

I was not aware that a VPN would interfere with lemmy.world, as it works fine with other instances.

Is there a way to use a VPN with this instance? I live in a place where the local government has taken an interest in people's web traffic, so I don't want to go without it.

blarth ,

I refuse to use an account on .world; this instance seems far too interested in deanonymizing users. Unable to use proton mail addresses or other temporary email to create accounts, VPN restrictions…what is the reason for this, .world admins?

dr_jekell ,
@dr_jekell@lemmy.world avatar

People were using everything you are complaining about to spam CSAM onto a number of communities.

The admins had to take measures both to protect their users (from having to see that material) and themselves (legally as how Lemmy works the images are stored on their servers in Germany).

Youreabanana ,

don't forget the random unexplained bans.

Check that your account is not marked as a bot (in your account settings).
Accidentally turned that on few days ago and all kind of stuff appeared broken after that.

s38b35M5 , in Reset password button doesn't do anything!
@s38b35M5@lemmy.world avatar

What do you mean, it doesn't work?

Works fine for me. Got the email in 1s. If the email doesn't match their records, I'm assuming it either doesn't send it, or you wouldn't get it, as it isn't the email you actually use.

Also, what about your SPAM folder? Why not email the admins before making a silly post like this...?

jeffw , in Reset password button doesn't do anything!

You’ve been with .ml for 6 months?

Hardy OP , (edited )

Yeah, why what’s wrong, nobody told me anything bad about it , I haven’t been living under a rock.. enlighten me pls.. all I heard that the mods there are tankies so..don’t want to be under their rule..

jeffw ,

Your account isn’t new and you’re still logged in. Why do you need to reset your password if you’re in your account?

Hardy OP ,

Because i want to switch to Lemmy.world instead of .ml i had already registered in .world but i seem to have my password incorrect and I can’t log in again because reset password button doesn’t do anything ..

jeffw ,

What browser are you using? I just tested it and it worked fine for me. I got the email too

Hardy OP ,

Vivaldi im going to try again

jeffw ,

Maybe try a more common browser? I’ve never had issues with Firefox

Despair , in Potential spam communities
@Despair@lemmy.world avatar

Another link spam community:
https://lemmy.world/c/arefesdgedsh
User:
https://lemmy.world/u/sherinacolla
There doesn't seem to be a way to directly report users/communities set up for spam like this.

CommunityLinkFixer Bot ,

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !arefesdgedsh

LibertyLizard , in Request to mod [email protected]
@LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net avatar

Also don’t forget !climate for those unaware. It is quite active. Might make sense to focus content there even though it’s a separate instance.

Of course, if you specifically wanted a similar community on Lemmy.world, then feel free to ignore this.

kersploosh , in Request to mod [email protected]
@kersploosh@lemmy.world avatar

!climate was just resurrected a few days ago, so now we have two redundant climate communities on this instance. Would it make more sense to lock one of these communities and direct people to the other?

If you really want both communities open, then I can give you the mod role for !climatechange. The current mod definitely appears to have left Lemmy.

Blackbeard OP ,
@Blackbeard@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I didn't even think about that. Yeah lock climate and direct to climatechange, since it has more subscribers.

kersploosh ,
@kersploosh@lemmy.world avatar

!climatechange is now yours. Since you also moderate !climate I'll leave you to lock it if you like.

kersploosh , in Request to mod [email protected]
@kersploosh@lemmy.world avatar

Of the three community mods, it looks like xohshoo is still active on Lemmy every couple of weeks. Have you tried messaging them directly? If not, that should be the first step before we consider taking their community and handing it to you or someone else.
