comment was restored instantly since it shouldn’t have hit that message (ill probably try to get piss removed from the check). Just a way for admins to be able to check messages to prevent new accounts from instantly harassing people after sign up

if you mention a lemmy community in your post the post gets sent to show up in the lemmy community. Comments are automatically federated if you comment on a lemmy post.

lemmy posts are all federated to mastodon though if the servers know about each other

im saying the posts and content are fine, just dont swamp every other type of content with it. Give breathing room for other communities and other people in this community to be able to have things surface. You can still post things hence why you havent gotten any moderation action here past getting your flood of posts removed.

some users can like attribution to reddit a lot of others dont. Not everyone has the same opinion or is the same person

yeah but ideally it wouldnt be. People come here to escape reddit they dont want to be reminded of it. Just warning that if you post with it youre going to get a lot more complaint comments

4 posts were still left up from your batch after I cleaned up some to clean the home instance feeds and them the mods trimmed it down more (from 19 within the same small window of time). Just make sure to spread posts out so theyre not all posted in a chunk (and dont use camelcase for titles or have connections to reddit). This post is more than a day after the other ones so would be fine

that still automatically pulls the content even if its manually reviewed which makes it go out much faster than any people manually making memes would be able to post at

just space things out so youre not doing more than a couple a day here and dont just copy titles and stuff 1 for 1

Just a measure to make sure this stays a human zone and not bots spamming everyones post feeds for all the different communities without any sort of curation

When posting in communities in the instance please follow the automation guidelines (Section 2 and 3 match the most) https://legal.programming.dev/docs/automation-guidelines/

Notably the section that says 75% of recent content should be human created not automatic and accounts with automation should be marked as such

It tends to make each individual post do worse as well when theyre spammed like this at once

edit: Just saying this here for transparency, I removed half of the posts so that theres 9 now instead of 19. Leaving the rest this time but if theres more feed spam I would be reducing that to match the guidelines more instead of leaving a bunch like here (mods of the community can determine whether to handle this batch more but this clears up the general instance feeds)

outbound federation was down here for a bit. meme is kinda out of context now since it’s working again lol

the bots still a work in progress, the removal for now still removes it for local users before an admin can look at the content for communities it can’t be fully removed from (false alarms then get unremoved though)

cant add for a bit unless the user has a post or comment

should have access to my script to do it without that soon (just in exams atm)

I think the advantages of multiple communities outweighs the advantages of consolidating. Especially since things can be cross posted between the multiple communities easily

No longer able to access the content is referring to the federation. And the difficult to move off is referring to for example communities that have been attempting to get traction to move off of lemmy.ml

Not posting in the community doesn’t mean people there don’t interact with it. I have beehaw as an example on hand but im sure there’s other federation examples

I think its the kind of subject matter that fits programming.dev well and relying on outside instances for programming content with no mirror on our own site makes us too reliant on those other instances if anything happens in the future (e.g. extreme case but if that instance goes down. Lemmy handles it terribly since the community still exists as a ghost community with no federation but still viewable)

With similar logic we have a lot of the same communities as lemmy.ml communities including programmer_humor, opensource, etc. To give people an alternative spot to the lemmy.ml communities and so that we aren’t overly reliant on other infrastructure we can’t control within our instances subject matter

We typically dont close communities on programming.dev since then theres only one option for things

Ends up having things like people who use the community no longer being able to access the content and being difficult for the community to move off of it if something happens

e.g. beehaw.org is defederated from sh.itjust.works so any beehaw users wouldnt be able to use the community if the programming.dev one is closed

Ah yeah I need to refresh the data, ill do that later

Nobody reported it as down to me, I can bring it back up

Been working on some other projects recently so havent really looked at that site much

We just added a couple more people to have server access and ideally that situation wont happen again

That problem specifially could only be reproduced on the main server so fixes couldnt be tested without taking the entire site down and at some point after the 0.19.5 upgrade (when the issue happened) it became too late to roll the server back since there was too many activities that came in but if it happens again after an upgrade we would roll back pretty much instantly)

dbzer0 does seem like a better option for general privacy discussion though

.ml and hexbear have been around much longer than the other instances so have built up more subscribers

Its still only voters, lurkers that dont do any actions arent counted
