Even on local ( see newest posts at /m/test ), images with alt-text (?) seem to trigger an upload failure.
I've also been having trouble with thumbnails not being generated on the lemmy-side of YouTube links I've posted -- which I initially thought was something on YouTube's end (they made some breaking changes recently) but maybe it's related to this instead?
The 403 was the planned response when you tried to DM any remote user, because federation of message was just not implemented. With v1.7.0 we implemented it and you will not get a 403 anymore
It’s more nuanced than that. If they look at your profile from a mastodon/etc instance, they’ll see the post. If they are on an instance that has someone who follows you and watch the federated/globel feed, they’ll see the post. And a few other specific situations.
Where there such complaints in kbin? In kbin if they downvoted you usually they would explain their reasoning promoting discussion. Anonymous downvoting creates in my opinion less positive environment for civil growth and discussion.
You mentioned that fedia has a very small number of active users. Is there a place I can learn more about this? What is large amount, and what do you consider to be active?
Fedia.io has 422 monthly active users - basically, 422 accounts have logged in within the past 30 days. I suppose I am comparing it to infosec.exchange, which has about 15000 monthly active users. I do believe that fedia.io is the most active mbin or kbin instance, by a factor of 2 or 3, but relatively quiet in comparison to Mastodon and Lemmy.
Hetzner makes their own servers in a form factor that works for their rack space. There are lots of YouTube videos on that. I don’t know specifically why these are failing, but being an old time engineer and knowing the CPU they are running, I am going to bet it has something to do with cooling. Either the main board is getting too hot (I monitor CPU temp and that seemed fine) or it is related to either vibration from the certainly larger CPU fan it needs, or somehow related to how the CPU impacts the power supply - possibly creating noise that ultimately burns out capacitors or something similar.
Apologies for having registrations closed. The moderation tools in Mbin/kbin are very very basic and I keep experiencing large numbers of spam signups, with no meaningful way to handle them until they sign up and start spamming
Hey! Thanks for the response and no worries I figured out spam was likely the reason behind he temporarily closure of new sign up's.
Btw let me know if you are in need of more admins, id gladly contribute to help the server as I have a long experience as mod already on reddit and the fediverse.
You generally seem to need to have at least 1 account from that instance subscribed to your magazine for federation to kick in (which then still can take a bit of time). Same works the other way around. The unfortunate thing is that you kinda have to use external community / magazine indexers to search for them, unless you know the exact name & instance domain they're in, since a search won't find non indexed ones by itself.
Imo one of the largest issues regarding the fediverse.
Yeah, I hope it gets "fixed" at some point ("fixed" because I guess it is by design). For now, I created an account to most large Lemmy servers and subscribed to the magazine so future users find a fuller community :P
