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).
Has it been more than a couple of days? I think the webfinger certificates are kept for 24 hours or something like that, so any changes in the certificate associated with your old user (used for signing updates) will take some time to expire and then update.
So, it'll still take a little while before it settles down, but I've seen other people in the admin chat do the same thing and it eventually recovered.
As for the subscriptions, part of the problem is the remote instance thinks you're already subscribed. I think if you unsubscribe and resubscribe it may go through, but you may also just need to use a new account name.
Not sure if social media in general has failed. That particular point can be solved at the community level.
Create or join a community which by it’s guidelines restricts posting paywalled or otherwise bad content. Which explicitly encourages posting “liberated” content. Have moderation. Problem solved. Moderators will remove all which you dislike. All that remains is the solution you want.
This can also happen if whoever you’re replying to deletes their post or comment. It gets rid of the whole tree. People do this when getting trampled with comments or replies. Especially if they’re negative.
Well that’s the thing. I didn’t say anything. Or can’t find what someone thinks I said. Usually modlog links to posts and comments where the violation happens.
My previous comment threads on the community relate to: Canada fucks up yet again, rich people go to space joke, Taiwan joke, democracy indices. Before that nothing for multiple weeks.
There are regime fans in the users, but this is a mod action and calling me a sinophobe is pretty derogatory considering all my love and hope for the culture and people in China
Calling it now: You said something along the lines of “Fuck the CCP” without realizing the history behind that phrase. And yes, it’s use is intended to be barely-disguised sinophobia with an air of plausible deniability. Reddit fascists do that shit all the time and libs fall for it every single time. You’re allowed to be critical of China as a government but what isn’t OK is using what amounts to a nazi meme to do so.
Yeah no I don’t do respectability politics. If all you have to say is “you’re being mean” to a genuine attempt at helping you understand what may have gone wrong than you don’t sound like the kind of person the mods want to keep around. And now thanks to this, everyone is going to walk away thinking you’re some kind of racist so good job on that 👍
My advice from me to you is cut the crap unless you want to be chain banned from the entire federation. Nobody wants to put up with that.
I don’t know what’s going on here? I appreciate your help and was discussing it — the things which apply and which don’t. What do you mean with this reply? Is it meant for some other thread? Who called you mean? What is the racism sentence there?
All post histories are public. Anyone can see what’s true. Or even give a link
This doesn’t work if you are banned as it prevents you from logging in. Being able to log in and not post is a more user friendly banned state and would allow them to delete their account themselves.
Side question, deleting your account or purging a user would delete all of that users comments correct?
As others have said, it currently does not. A workaround that works pretty well, and which I use, is to create accounts on multiple instances and use them as “multi-lemmies” by moving your subscriptions between them according to theme, topic or whatever else you want to group by. A password manager like Bitwarden can help with generating passwords for and keeping track of the different accounts.
