Added the ability for admins to view votes, to prevent downvote trolling.
Please give individual users the ability to use an automated system to request to see these votes. There’s times where I’ll post something that nobody reasonable should show umbrage to and it will get slammed. I want to find out where they’re coming from and clear house.
For privacy reasons, and so that people will vote honestly, I’d like this to stay admin-only (and possibly in the future, community mods). But if you ping an admin, we can look into it and see if you’re being downvote-stalked.
Does this mean we are gonna be able to see comments from other instances? I sometimes see post with a certain number of comments (in the hundreds) but when I open the post I only see a fraction of them.
That sounds correct for the user settings form, but not for the comment / post creation form. Open up an issue on lemmy-ui’s gitbub for this if you would.
Releases are always for backend and frontend together, unless mentioned otherwise. You can check the tags in the git repos, or check the available versions on docker hub.
I totally respect this being potentially a big ask, but does anyone have a TL;DR of what caused or was the fix for the federation issue(s)? I don’t have capacity at this moment to look through Github Issues and PRs, but I’m curious
From the little I saw (and zero Rust, or Tokio (I think they use that) knowledge) … federation workers weren’t persisting correctly whenever it would hit certain errors or problems.
I saw the “502 Gateway” HTTP error message, but I never even closed my browser tab. I refreshed again today and Lemmy.ml was back online! Thanks for your hard work!
lemmy.ml is a lemmy instance run by the developers of lemmy. lemmy.ml is federated with hexbear, so you can read their posts and we can read your posts.
How does lemmy federation work in this case? Conceivably after being restored from backup the lemmy.ml instance could see those few hours of lost history as federated to other lemmy instances and resync it back as the host instance. Obv I’m vastly oversimplifiying things but what happens today?
It strikes me that there is the potential to use trusted remote servers as a means of recovering the lost data. I mean, nearly every lemmy instance except lemmy.ml will have copies of the missing data, and given the hugely redundant availability of that data (including the ability to compare from multiple sources to establish/verify trust), using that data to rebuild missing content seems like it could be useful functionality.
If I understand, federating contents through ActivityPub only works once. Sounds a good feature to re-download contents again, but may introduce additional work as there should be some way to know if a content is missing then another job to rebuild
That doesnt work because we generally cant trust remote servers. Plus we dont even know where to fetch from, so wed have to run a complete crawl of all known instances which isnt practical.
