OK, then I just wait and stop using this account until such feature gets implemented. Deletion is not an option as it would also delete all posts/comments. At least local ones, maybe even posts/comments on other instances. Dunno, if the User/Delete Activity is propagated to other instances (yet).
Bye and Thanks for all your hard work!
No, I meant lock as in disable login, remove email address, 2FA and freeze all content. This feature might not yet exist in lemmy but it probably should be implemented. Apart from a user leaving this might actually be required to properly handle a user passing away.
I thought beehaw.org defederating from us would not affect post/comments on shared source instances, e. g. lemmy.wtf, which is neither defederated from beehaw.org nor us:
https://lemmy.world/post/149743
Why do I see posts/comments from beehaw users on communities outside lemmy.world and beehaw.org?
That's because the "true" version of those posts is outside beehaw. So we get updates from those posts. And lemmy.world didn't defederate beehaw, so posts/comments from beehaw users can still come to versions hosted on lemmy.world.

After the group successfully verifies and wraps the received activity, it sends it to the inboxes of its followers. Followers then use the outer
Announceactivity to verify that the content was really approved by the group. After this step theAnnouncecan be discarded and only the inner activity shown to users.
Cloudflare Challenge?
Since lemmy.world is now behind Cloudflare, is it possible that federation is hit by Cloudflare Challenges as described here?
No federation from source to lemmy.world

No federation from lemmy.world to source
- local copy on
lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/comment/1749875 - original source: https://lemmy.wtf/comment/761591
Note that I pulled my post to the source instance by searching for it from there, but updates/edits are still not federated. This post also has a reply from a lemmy.zip user which hasn't been federated to lemmy.world yet.
For the past days I've noticed that posts/comments I make on my lemmy.world account are not (or rather very slowly, if ever) federated to the source instance of the community and post/comments that are on the source are not (or rather very slowly, if ever) federated to the local copy on lemmy.world.
The result is again (as it was before 0.18.1) that lemmy.world users are living in a bubble in which they see each othery posts/comments but nobody else does.
Is this a known issues and is this going to be addressed?
How much time does ArenaNet expect us to spend on Festival Activities in a week? This year's main incentive are probably the additional Sun-Grown Weapon (Skins).
I finished (Annual) For Winds Customs for the first skin at around 100/200 of the weekly progress after about 4 days of doing little more than completing the festival dailies. From there on it gets pretty tedious to get more skins, but you can only get 1 annual + 3 (or 4, ouch!) weekly chests anyway this year. Then why make it so time-consuming (and boring) to get them?
I'm going to get a few (probably 3, e. g. Longbow, Greatsword and Hammer) for my Ranger to complement the look of his Back item.
So, how many skins are you planning to get this year?
Even more single player content?

And here is MightyTeapot's video of the fight/kill for comparison. We all love playing circus horse simulator, right? And maybe the Axe Skin (reward) is just a placeholder.

There is actually an ongoing discussion on GitHub about caching/proxy-ing image resources to improve performance and hide user IPs, etc.:
I've watched roughly half of the guides and I'd say they are a bit too much for a new player and actual experts will probably know most of the stuff being said ....
... but for a Casual Guild Wars Veteran like me they really hit the spot. There are still so many builds and parts/aspects of the game I haven't tried that I immeditely felt the itch again.
What a great game was and still is Guild Wars 1

Updates to the Specter and Scourge builds postponed after the July 18th patch for obvious reasons.
The user has been banned but those communities have not been deleted yet (for whatever reason).
@ruud@lemmy.world Deleting those communities takes one SQL statement and hence less time than creating them, right?
It appears to be working now ... did not change anything on my side ... it just suddenly worked. ... but everything is so painfully slow ... and I also had at least one case where I was automatically logged out again after about 2 minutes ...
I have to go through the "forgot password" procedure everrytime I'm relogging, i. e. after deleting the lemmy.world site data in my browser.
I can use (enter and verify) the same password without problems, but a normal login is curently not possible.
Update: I was able to login now. Did not change anything on my side. It just suddenly worked. Fingers crossed.
I'm not hating it at all. Stuff like this just happens. Lemmy (the software) as well as this instance was pretty much overrun by a stampede of new users while trying to make its first baby steps. What would you expect?
Not too long now until lemmy-0.18.1 gets released ... and it has support for Captchas restored.

Notes:
- Both the Backend as well as the Frontend have a rather convoluted commit history (UI much worse than BE). It almost looks like
git rebasedoes not exist.
@ruud@lemmy.world Whatever you just did ... was good! I'm noticing that (changes to) posts and comments are now pushed much faster than before.
@VioletteRei@lemmy.world Are you also noticing a difference?
Also, Captchas have just been merged to LemmyNet/lemmy:main ➡ https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3289
And the first Relase Candidate 0.18.1-rc.1 has been tagged. 🙂
Well, it was fun while it lasted. The bubble is back. It's like being diconnected from the rest of the fediverse ...
... and merged to LemmyNet/lemmy:main 🙂
That's pretty much what I yesterday called the lemmy.world bubble.
@ruud@lemmy.world Is there anything we/you could do about this until 0.18.1 is released with support for Captchas?
... or it's the federation_worker_count setting which is still too low on lemmy.world?
Though I think increasing this value is no longer required on 0.18.0 instances due to
https://github.com/LemmyNet/activitypub-federation-rust/pull/42
Which means that upgrading lemmy.world to 0.18.0 would probably solve this isuue, but I can fully understand why lemmy.world waits for Captchas to be restored (hopefully in 0.18.1).
I'm noticing that new posts, comments and especially updates to posts and comments and votes are not pushed to the origin of communities which lemmy.world users have subscribed to. Or at least it takes many (>> 10) hours.
Just pick a random community that is not local to lemmy.world and compare the local copy with the origin. I would be surprised, if you don't find tons of comments from lemmy.world users which have not been pushed yet.
The result is a lemmy.world bubble in which lemmy.world users see posts and comments from each other but nobody else does.
- Did anybody else notice this?
- What is causing this?
- How can it be fixed?
Not too long now until lemmy-0.18.0 gets released.
Looks like Captchas have been restored after they been initially removed from 0.18.X and then removed again. It's getting funny!

TL;DR: lemmy-0.18.0 has been released without support for Captchas 💣
It might be a good idea to have a Mastodon Account for the lemmy.wtf instance. Especially in case the lemmy instance goes down (like now).
Does anybody know why and when thumbnails for YouTube videos are shown or not? It appears to depend on the lemmy instance the posts are served from:
Without Thumbnails
- https://lemmy.world/c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf
- https://lemmy.wtf/c/guildwars2
With Thumbnails
- https://feddit.de/c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf
- https://lemm.ee/c/guildwars2@lemmy.wtf
Update: It's not only YT thumbnails which aren't shown. This is your post about the free 24 slot bag as shown on lemmy.wtf (without thumbnail), lemmy.world (without thumbnail) and feddit.de (with thumbnail):
