Hey the image uploading at the backend of lemmy is a bit borked right now, restarting the server fixes it for a while so we restart our instance 5 times a day but it can still cause error sometimes, only thing right now you can do is try after a while, or use an image hosting site and post through there (for posts)
We are trying to find a permanent solution to this, sorry for the inconvenience.
welcome. On the side bar on the right there is a pencil button which you can click to edit the community and icon, banners and description.
Top of all time post on lemmy is now about beans.
this is the post: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/559757
Sounds straight from a black mirror episode.
That's a good question, I'll update the post with it an answer to it as well.
On liftoff, assuming you have signed in, at the very top you should see local@lemmy.fmhy.ml. if you click on it, you should see a drop down with instance names and 3 options of subscribed, local and all for each.
Subscribed would show you the feed with the communities you've subscried to, local will show you content from the communities hosted on your home instance, and all will show you every post from every instance we are federated with. That's basically the r/all equaivalent of lemmy and what you should browse to interact with other instances.
No, they are corrrect, I guess I should have added this part in the post too. The way federation works on lemmy is only after someone searches and subcribes to a community for the first time from another instance, only then is the information about an instance fetched.
This is done this way to prevent flooding and overloading the local instance with every single other instance at once (and to not waste bandwidth connecing with spam intances). So if you set up your own personal instance, you'll need to search interesting communities once yourself to view them later (or set up a script to do something like it).
Oops my bad, I'll update the post
huh that's weird it seems like lemmy being buggy, clicking the link worked for me.
Anyway here's a direct link: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/133647
Interesting thanks for linking it. I was under the impression that both platforms couldnt see each other yet. I'll edit the post.
There are many ways, best would be to either create a pull request on github or join us on our revolt instance.
You can create a post here toom but once (if) the community becomes more active it might get buried in other posts.
Sorry this is something happening on our instance for a while. Restarting the server fixed it for a while, so we do that 5 times a day, but obviously that's not the ideal solution. We are trying to find a permanent fix for this, sorry for the inconvenience.
There's https://redditle.com/ if you just want reddit results. I've had it bookamrked and find it pretty useful.
