Assuming you have a standard deployment with docker compose, go to the directory with the docker-compose.yml file and run this:

docker compose logs lemmy | less

You might have to scroll for a bit, you can hit / then type mastodon.social then enter to find occurrences in the logs. Jump to next/previous match by hitting n and N/shift-n respectively.

I was able to fetch the comment without issue (https://feddit.uk/post/42810312/22639417), so it could be something in your setting somewhere. You can try to resolve the comment (go to search in the web UI and past the URL for comment), then after you can run the command above and jump to the end (Alt->) and it should say something about why it failed to resolve.

They seem to have blocked Nutomic, so won’t see this.

They completely deindexed Link (spacelawshitpost.me) for not showing appropriate reverence for Charlie Kirk after he died by pointing to their TOS policy on promoting violence, but an organisation that only exists to exert violence on non-white people gets a pass.

It starts in 1337 and goes through until 1837. It probably is accurate to the time, but still I find it funny conceptually.

Was anything changed about how this federates? If no, what protections are in place against someone just patching their instance software to always return an "answer": true on Notes?

Earlier this week, I announced the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory–a project I’ve been working on since June 2024. Hundreds of people shared it on Mastodon and BlueSky. Comparatively, almost nobody on Hacker News ever saw it.

I’ll admit I missed this despite it being posted in !technology@lemmy.world. Lumping Masto and Bluesky together here is weird though given the Masto post got 300+ boosts while the Blusky post got 25 reposts.

Wow, that’s bad. I would hate working with this so much.

of numbers instead of human-readable names

TBF, they have introduced a ‘verified’ system that lets you use human readable names.

Yeah, people are tribal and decentralisation lets people express that in ways centralised platforms don’t. Something, something, tech won’t save us.

Clicking though to community to post and selecting a community from the create post page are same problem rearranged. A user who subbed to ~technology@piefed.social isn’t going to know the difference between !technology@lemmy.world, !technology@lemmy.zip and !technology@piefed.social.

Solution 2 in the post, multicommunities. I’m not sure it actually solves the problem though, as you still have to go to the actual community to post and I imagine multicomms add an extra layer of confusion to that.

Can’t wait for the follow up post decrying PeerTube for only allowing videos, or Bookwrym for only allowing book reviews. Just because it’s ActivityPub doesn’t mean it has to be a Twitter timeline.

Once a major actor in a decentralised network starts to mess with the protocol, there are only two possible output: either that actor lose steam or that actor becomes dominant enough to impose its own vision of the protocol. In fact, there’s a third option: the whole protocol becomes irrelevant because nobody trust it anymore.

You mean like Mastodon? Where’s the angry diatribe about Mastodon not allowing posts to have more than 4 pictures despite other platforms allowing more (Pixelfed allows up to 20 for example)?

They mention SWICG’s data portability spec, I assume they’re referring to LOLA: https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/lola

Just lemmy.org.uk for me.

Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world

Hexbear runs an allowlist, they only federate with instances they select.

Imagine devoting your precious life to making MATE for GNOME 3.

Looking at their Twitter and it’s apparently going to use GNOME. Wonder how that’s going to work with GNOME removing X11 support.

The secure chat option is something called Matrix, which is a separate service that doesn’t integrate like Reddit’s chat. Lemmy just supports being able to set a Matrix account as the place to reach a user.

Armin Ronacher, creator of the vastly popular Python Flask and Jinja framworks, comes out in defence of DHH, saying his racist diatribe about the ethnic make up of London was in fact not racist, and the state of Israel, that it’s apparently fine that it remains an oppressive ethnostate in order to ‘preserve its particular cultural identity’.

Obviously it’d only be a subset of HTML. No website that uses user-submitted HTML (Tumblr, AO3, Royal Road, etc) actually allows the full suite of tags.
