We have basically no idea what you’re running or how you’re running it, you saying you’re running docker is like saying “I have a server”. But, to be sure you’re running the latest version just use the tag, the part after the colon. So for lemmy, the most recent stable release is 0.18.5, denoted in your image as dessalines/lemmy:0.18.5
Have you tried returning 404 response status codes for the requested URLs? I think federated requests will need for your server to tell them the URLs don’t exist anymore.
I had a lot of trouble (docker install) but it was mostly because I thought I needed to install a database (no, it’s in the docker files), nginx being difficult to configure(had to learn how it works) and the config stuff, like should I keep those brackets, the http part etc etc. Got a lot of help too.
I assume you’re talking about tracking score on profiles ala Reddit? There’s nothing stopping anyone from making their own client or modifying lemmy-ui to do that if someone really cares.
But honestly, Lemmy has enough bots posting stuff that I wouldn’t want to bring more incentive for karma farming in.
!lemmynade will have the option to see your own total score if you wish, and there’s other clients and apps that show you that too. However, it’s virtually impossible to see other people’s scores with how Lemmy works at the moment.
I might be wrong, but I think the general consensus is that showing everyone’s scores would enable a competitive karma culture, and that’s not something a lot of us want.
I’m the mod, my accounts instance is sh.itjust.works and the community (!oddlyspecificplaylists) is on sh.itjust.works. From sh.itjust.works I blocked the kbin spammers account, you can see it in my modlog. Their posts and block are the most recent listed. I’m not sure about defederation.
The spammer is on kbin, and the posts they are spamming aren’t showing up on sh.itjust.works, but they are showing up on kbin (and possibly other instances?) even after being blocked. They were blocked 5 days ago (from sh.itjust.works), and you can see on kbin somehow they made a post 2 days ago. Here’s the direct link, which for some reason keeps breaking the link so you have to cut n paste the address 🙄.
I’m just not sure how I can get them to stop if they are technically already blocked? And if this all wasn’t confusing enough, on kbin it says my community is moderated by the guy who does kbin (ernst) and not my mod account? I messaged him but I haven’t heard back yet.
Kbin has had some moderation federation issues. Ernest has recently delved into some personal issues he’s been having and the community had made a fork called mbin.
Oh ok thank you letting me know this! I was wondering if I was being ignored, but I can wait for when ernst has the time. I put my community on mod post only for now. Not really a solution, but hopefully it holds off the spam? I’m not really tech-savvy so 🤷♂️
Ok, I think it may just be some syncing issues. I can see comments/reactions slowly start pouring in.
I recall a similar experience when using matrix chat for the first time. Everything is synchronizing very slowly for the first time creating very confusing experience for new users.
So I think what you’re saying is that you’ve created a Lemmy instance and joined a community from another Lemmy instance but you can’t see all the posts?
My understanding is that your instance will only start syncing content from that community AFTER someone on your instance joins it. If you’re the first person on your instance to join cats then you won’t see anything from before the moment you joined, but you will get all the content that is posted after you joined. If you aren’t the first person on your instance to join then you’ll be able to see older posts.
Oh I see, thanks. That’s good to know. Content eventually started syncing in, but I had to subscribe to every one of the communities I found first.
Do you think that a search function may be integrated one day directly in the standard UI? Element-desktop for matrix offers searching for communities on other nodes (although only on selected instances).
Upgrade your storage. 160GB is nothing and 1TB SSDs are cheap
You could delete pictures, but then the posts are broken
You could archive old pictures. The pictures will have a longer load-time. Also I don’t think archiving pictures is a feature of lemmy, so you would have to implement it yourself
Edit: I think postgres is so big, because of backups. You could delete those, but that’s risky
Since I currently use Hetzner the only way to get more space is to upgrade the server (at a not inconsiderable cost).
The alternative might be to purchase SSD block storage volumes which are definitely lower priced (5€ per month for 100GB) however it would be interesting to know if there is a guide for Lemmy for this or if others have had positive experience doing this.
Since this problem I think is quite common (at least from reading a few threads and comments around) it might be interesting to create a guide especially regarding the part of having lemmy use this/mounted volume instead of the default one.
I in the meantime will try to look around for some information on how this can be done, any advice is definitely welcome.
