I thought this was a boost issue, but even using lemm.ee's web site, when browsing to my Nikon subscription (https://lemm.ee/c/nikon@lemmy.world) I don't see any post. If I go to the same community from lemmy.world's own site, I can see recent posts: https://lemmy.world/c/nikon I noticed the same problem in other communities (but I thought the issue was my lemmy client). Can this be fixed?

I used to regularly put images in comments by using ![](). Suddenly that does not work anymore, help!

It stopped working for me (and also another user) a few days ago. Until I post the comment it is fine but when I post it, the url of the image is getting automatically changed into a format that does not work.

Before posting it looks like this:

![](https://i.imgur.com/yFXLOOY.jpg)

However, posting it changes the url into this (non working) url

![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FyFXLOOY.jpg)

I will post the same image as a comment in this thread from two different accounts to illustrate.

How did this suddenly change, I never had problems posting images in comments before?

What can I do to fix this? I like posting images in comments and would be very happy if I could go back to it?

I've observed two issues with certain type of images on lemm.ee.

The first issue relates to external avatars, both user and community. In the Android app Connect they are no longer loading and just show a spinner. Only the avatars of users and communities on lemm.ee itself are loading. It doesn't occur on web. And when using my lemmy.world account in Connect, all external avatars do load correctly. I think this started after the upgrade to 0.19.4.

The second issue is with metadata image, the og:image a page declares. This isn't always shown on lemm.ee. As an example a post I made with my lemm.ee account on a lemmy.world community.

https://lemm.ee/post/31969605 - Next to the title it just shows a generic external link icon.

https://lemmy.world/post/15406863 - Same post but now via lemmy.world shows the image that the target webpage defined as its og:image correctly.

I get a big red error when I try to upload a profile pic. I tried PNG and JPGs made in different editors, and tried both Firefox and Chrome.

Screenshot of error, I can't seem to upload one of those here either lol: https://picsur.techniverse.net/i/126b0d56-b9b7-42af-a335-3e7804407f0c.jpg

Hi! So far I've been having a super great time with Lemmy, but I'm a little confused as to why I'm suddenly unable to upload images. I wanted to post an image in an image sharing thread, but whenever I clicked "upload image", I'd get a rotating circle thingy after selecting the picture file I wanted to upload, which would rotate for a few moments then stop, and nothing happened after that. I made sure the picture was under 100kb but no matter how many times I tried, the picture wouldn't upload and no error messages came up.

I went and tried to make an image post rather than an image comment, and a similar thing happened where it'd seem to be uploading and then when it stopped, it gave me an "unexpected token" "json" error, or an error about deadlines. I was previously able to upload pictures just fine as my submission history will show, and Googling didn't offer much insight. Weirdly enough, when I'm logged in the only posts I can see on my profile's post submission history is just my oldest one and none of the others. I can see all the other post submissions I've made when I log out and look at my profile though. Comments seem to be unaffected.

Everyone else in the image sharing thread seemed to be able to upload pictures directly to the thread, rather than just linking them, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've only ever been using the same device (PC) and browser since creating my account. Thanks in advance! 😃

Update!

Thought I'd take some images, I've also noticed that the main Lemmy icon is broken too...

https://freeimage.host/i/lemmee2.JsmF7ig

https://freeimage.host/i/lemmee.JsmKbaf

I've tried multiple browsers but the issue persists. There have been no changes to my internet connection.

Account is two months old, picture downscaled to 499kb.

So I had made a post regarding sorting posts not working, but I have noticed another issue where some communities just don't have some older posts. I have tried both on web and on android app, and it's the same, tweaked some settings too. A demo video (GIF) showcasing the problem and my account settings are attached in below Imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/8X8AQpI

I've been having some federation issues today. Made two posts on games@lemmy.world but they haven't shown up on other instances.

I've had this account for about a week or so now. but I still cannot upload any images. Granted I have not exactly used it all that much I don't know if that has anything to do with it?

Not trying to start anything, and if this is the wrong place to post about it I apologize, I'm not sure where else to broach the topic, but as a user I've noticed an enormous increase is moderator action today and I'm curious if there was some catalyst that the userbase should be aware of. Prior to today, the modlog shows only a few mod actions most days, and previous entire months can fit within one screenview. Furthermore, most of those actions were locking posts or removing and reprimanding specific offending comments. Yet today there is an entire wave of moderator actions, including such vague notes as "Troll Post" on meme posts with significant engagement.

I promise I'm not trying to start drama, I am just concerned as I love Lemmy and want to see it and the community thrive, and I am concerned about the same issues that plague Reddit could potentially find their way here.

That said, I also understand this isn't a democracy, so if the reply is simply "that's how it is," I guess I'm going to just shrug and accept it.

First of all, thanks Ella & crew for clearing up Lemm.ee's recent image-hosting issues! 🤘

Unfortunately, I note that there are still several post images I uploaded here that went missing ~2 months ago and never did get restored. Some examples: [1], [2], [3].

Whatever. I'll just move them over to Imgur.

As a matter of fact, at this point I'd rather just host everything at Imgur so as not to burden LE with images, which can frankly get pretty big at times. But that's where I just now noticed a seemingly big problem with how LE processes image uploads:

• I noticed that the original 95k community banner which I uploaded a long time ago was turned in to a significantly worse-quality WEBP file at around 250% the size of the original.

• In my attempt today to completely move the banner over to Imgur, I uploaded a higher-quality link today, then noticed the same issues. Also, it seems the banner file got moved over to LE (against my intent) and bloated to ~440k for you folks. Not what I intended, and seemingly not good.

So to recount: whatever process is currently handling image uploads seems to be 1) needlessly re-saving them as less-efficient WEBP's, 2) reducing their overall quality, and 3) the software is forcing all logo & banner content to be hosted at the local instance rather than offering the choice of being hosted elsewhere.

I am having trouble uploading images to posts from my lemm.ee account. I tried doing the same from a backup lemmy.world account I have, and the images uploaded without issue. When I upload directly from the website, I get the error below:

{"data":{"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://10.0.0.3:8080/image): error trying to connect: tcp connection error: deadline has elapsed"},"state":"success"}

This happens with any image I try to upload, including the screenshot I took of the error I transcribed above. Is there any way to resolve this so I can post images from this instance again?

They've run off somewhere the past few days I think, and I tried a hard refresh of the site on desktop with no change. Also looked via app and the lil' Lemmee's disappeared there as well.

It's nbd, but has had me wondering.

It is showing unread messages but I have no unread message.

I noticed a distinct lack of response to comments and looking at the threads from other instances shows that my comments aren't appearing outside of lemm.ee, and going to the link I shared shows there are 0 up-to-date instances with lemm.ee.

This happened around the big update in December, too. Not sure what the cause is, but here's hoping it can be resolved soon!

*Dunno if this info would be helpful, but the last comment of mine that seems to have federated properly was from 07:15UTC, and the first comment that seems to be missing was from 14:15UTC. So something happened between then.

I'm trying to understand how post thumbnails work. It seems like other instances like lemmy.world will automatically pull relevant thumbnail images and store them locally:

!thumbnails on lemmy.world

but for the same community on lemm.ee it doesn't:

!no thumbnails on lemm.ee

No real problem if this isn't supported by lemm.ee, but I just want to confirm I'm not missing any settings on my end.

I know I can go to /instances to see a list of blocked instances but is there a log or something that lists why an instance was blocked?

For example xrs.cx is on the blocklist. I’ve never even heard of this instance and just picked this one from the list at random. When I go there it just seems like a tiny, run-of-the-mill instance. Not saying I don’t trust lemm.ee admins but I’m just curious.

I love this instance and am definitely not trying to create more work for anyone! I just didn’t know if this already existed or where to look.

Hi.

I was in a community I moderate and, suddenly, I saw it was "deleted by the creator":

!

It's !biblia.

All the posts (2) vanished. Just happened.

I say suddenly because I don't know what happened. Probably I clicked on the trash can at the sidebar (that I didn't even see, had to confirm what is in the sidebar by going to another community);

!

no confirmation asked, I saw nothing. Strange that a misclick can operate this devastation.

I ask that to the admins that, if possible, the community !biblia shall be restored with the posts. Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,

Basically title. I was just wondering if you were aware or if we should raise this.

I'm a mod of /c/conservative and we have a troublesome user who keeps making new accounts to evade our bans.

Please, IP ban him. I can give you the details.

I've noticed a distinct degradation in speed on lemm.ee since the upgrade.

The website seems fine but any app appears to struggle with the lemm.ee site.

The only exception appears to be Voyager app and it may be that as a web app it doesn't appear to have the same problem.

Jerboa can't login, says can't connect to instance, this is not a specific v19 issue as I have an account on reddthat.com which is also running v19.0 and that logs in without issue.

Voyager struggles to load my profile.

I migrated here from fmhy and then feddit.uk after it appeared to be abandoned, I'd really not like to migrate again but it's starting look like that's the only option ;-(

Am I able to do this on lemmy?

I just noticed that all of my comments for the last few days don't show up in the parent instance of the post. It is happening in several different instances, so it seems like it's probably an issue on the lemm.ee side of things.

So far comments aren't appearing in 'Lemmy.world', 'Lemmy.ca', or 'Sh.itjust.works'

While looking into this, I also noticed other lemm.ee users posts that aren't appearing when switching instances.

*Suddenly got some interaction with the lost posts, as well as a few comments from 'lemm.ee' on the other account I've been using, which matches up to sunaurus's post on updating to 19.1. Glad to see things appear to be working as expected again. Hopefully 0.19 doesn't have anymore surprises for us!

I cannot log back in since the update. Liftoff does pretty much the same, but it doesn't crash, it just stays there trying to log in.

Clearing app data hasn't helped. What's going on?

This is the same account I'm trying to log in with, and works fine via web broswer. I'm entering my username, not my email.

Edit: okay, fuck me, I though F-Droid was keeping the app up to date, but Auroa Store just showed me that version 0.0.55 was available. Now it works...

EDIT: From a comment by @Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl in the original post:

EDIT-2: Another comment by @maegul@lemmy.ml:

From my quick glance it was 4 days ago on the lemmy.ml mirror, which seems behind the most recent posts on the actual community.

I'm only seeing Next on my android, no more Prev button... anyone else. Is going backwards not a thing anymore?

EDIT : I WAS SIMPLY AN IDIOT

EDIT: Sorry all-- I was having a pretty good meltdown and health issue that day, not properly understanding the issue and the responses. Apologies for my testy replies, and thanks for treating them with the respect they were due.

Just now I tried adding to our community's [FAQ] (Where can I pick up such comics, both in physical and digital format?).

Yet for some reason: Amazone.es, Lireka, Rakuten, Momox, AbeBooks, FNac and Giver Joseph ...are now producing the message below, also killing the links:

>PAGE NOT FOUND > > The page you are looking for does not exist. > > Click here to return to your homepage

and now:

> Error! > There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room. > > If you would like to reach out to one of lemm.ee admins for support, try the following Matrix addresses: @sunaurus:matrix.org > The server returned this error: {{error}}. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error__**

Just to be clear: as you can see in the link code, in NONE of those outgoing links (as usual) did I attempt to draw back to my native instance (lemm.ee).

By comparison, look at how all the other outgoing links worked perfectly fine across the very same post: https://lemm.ee/post/2890991

What the heck is up with all that, mates...?

EDIT: Okay, instead of implying: well, the URL protocol has changed, WHERE THE heck WERE YOU? The protocol did NOT change in that regard, call me crazy?

EDIT2: And if what the genius brigade said was actually true, then why doesn't the fix work...?

I have been noticing it taking longer loads times since today...

Tested using Sync for Lemmy mostly, but also happened with Voyager.

It appears the recent update broke this too. All my read posts are still showing despite having "Show Read Posts" turned off. I've tried turning it on, reloading, and turning it off, clearing cookies, clearing cache, etc. Seems to be something on the server side.

Our specific sub is this: https://lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels

There is nobody better than my co-mod Nacktmull to carry on our community, but unfortunately, mod-powers are surprisingly-limited in basic-nature upon Lemmy, seemingly.

Regardless, could my co-mod "Nacktmull" please be elevated to the same level as my basic mod powers? Again-- I'm the creator of the community, and main content-contributor.

Im trying to upload an image for a community icon, i kept shrinking an image and now its 17kb and still not working, what could I be doing wrong it's a jpeg, it keeps saying Uploaded image is too large

But I've done this before with no problem... TIA

Edit: I've tried from my pc and my phone browser, both say img too big.

SOLVED: lemm.ee has blocked image uploads :(

I have already sent a message to @Sunaurus in hopes of removing 2FA from my account but I'm making a post here in hopes of either helping myself or others.

It seems this is a common occurrence, I think I clicked "enabled 2FA" on my (other) account in the hopes of setting it up. When I tried to log in it asks for my password and 2FA (which I hadn't set up).

I've read that resetting your password removes 2FA, however I've been unsuccessful when trying this.

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

Checked between here and the same thread on a different instance and noticed sorting comments by old doesn't seem to be working here; that is, selecting the option on the web interface displays no comments whatsoever instead of sorting their display. An odder issue that I'm not as clear on is older comment fetching/display. In one case I found them not showing up here, but also not on the thread's home instance either, so I'm not sure what's happening there.

In another I found them not showing up here, but they were showing on their home instance (different from the first, which may be why the difference).

As the title suggests, when I make a post that has an & in the title, it gets turned into &

I added a mod, turns out he's having trouble seeing reports, with at least one being completely invisible to him. Do I need to do something on my end for him to see it?

I went on a mobile app to check a post I made and it said “No posts.” I used the mobile web browser to check my profile and it again shows comments, but not posts. I checked the mod log for my username and found nothing.

I can view the actual posts from an account on another instance, but seemingly not from the actual lemm.ee instance. Is this some sort of server error or were my posts removed or something? It’s very odd.

It's broken on every instance, so spread the word.
