Geddit
I think many of you may have seen this very unpleasant ‘person’ that kept spamming some hateful content in multiple communities. The account has been purged along with all posts. Well keep a close eye! Sorry about that, this place should be a friendly platform for anyone
mstdn.social
Geddit seems to have trouble showing OpenGraph images on new posts. These can be YouTube thumbnails, previews of the blog posts, etc. Many other instances seem to pick preview images on the fly. What it means for me if that if I share the post itself from Geddit, it will be only plain text until the user clicks. It's a minor inconvenience, but sometimes it just hits hard on the promo department, you know. Checking if the Mastodon post of @stux's stickers will show up image here or not... I'm positive it does not show `og:image`, even though site clearly has it.
I'm kind of new to lemmmy and I could find the answer anywhere but it seems my geddit.social all feed is old. It stays with posts ab 2-4 days old. At one point the top post was like 2 weeks old. While Lemmy.worlds all feed is updating way faster. Why is this? If I want faster feed should I switch? Thanks
Now that we have clients like geddit that don't use the api, might a logical next step be to try to create a lemmy instance and/or bot that mirrors posts from reddit to lemmy? Has anyone started work on this kind of project?
I created c/hmmmtexts and users that hit the subscribe button get the 'Subscribe Pending' response. I don't want to review/approve subscribers. And I don't see any way to defeat the requirement. Any ideas on how to turn that off? Thanks. Edit: Approval appears to have come automatically in time. Hopefully, this won't cause would be subscribers to back off when they see 'pending,' as though they were subject to scrutiny.
Ok, I've joined [@geddit](https://geddit.social/c/geddit) , with [@stux](https://mstdn.social/@stux)
For now I've setup a "mobile" client for Lemmy instances on [https://m.geddit.social](https://m.geddit.social) --- You can find the source code here: [https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef](https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef)
Just updated [https://geddit.social](https://geddit.social) to [#Lemmy](https://mstdn.social/tags/Lemmy) v0.18.1-RC10 & UI v0.18.1-RC11 Hopefully this solves the memory issue [@geddit](https://geddit.social/c/geddit) [@stux@geddit.social](https://geddit.social/u/stux)
Lemmy kept running out of memory and SWAP on v0.18.1-RC9 Even with 1 container and Postgres limited it would crash after x hours because it ran our of memory. Just updated and not keeping an eye out so it won't happen again
The past few days Geddit was not super stable and crashed every few hours. It took some testing and input from other admins to create a more optimal setting for the instance! The platform should be a lot more stable now
It took a little while but the domain has finally been cleared with Maigun from the recent spam attack. We now send confirm mails from our hostname again, cheers!
Our Lemmy instance on [https://geddit.social](https://geddit.social) is back up btw! Like often something weird caused the issue, on that more here [https://geddit.social/post/153257](https://geddit.social/post/153257) [@stux@geddit.social](https://geddit.social/u/stux) [@geddit](https://geddit.social/c/geddit)
When upgrading Geddit to the latest Lemmy release I took some tips from @ruud@lemmy.world for a better infrastructure to prepare for future people joining (maybe)! --- We use Docker for running Lemmy and now have multiple containers for each serice to speed up the platform. - Lemmy (backend) has now 4 containers - Lemmy UI (front end) has now 3 containers Everything is balanced with a nginx proxy! --- The service should work as expected again but please let me know if you find anything that doesn't work (fully).
After upgrading Geddit.social to Lemmy v0.18 the whole platform broke.. After many hours of editing configs, debugging and trying out various fixes a little database query to remove the "site icon" fixed it and now are back online! I'll keep an eye out on further issues..
Hi! I encountered this problem trying to log in at jerboa app. Is that okay? Also this is my first post here so sorry if i did anything wrong!
Also, our [#Lemmy](https://mstdn.social/tags/Lemmy) instance ([#Reddit](https://mstdn.social/tags/Reddit) alternative) can be found on [https://geddit.social](https://geddit.social) :lemmy: [@stux@geddit.social](https://geddit.social/u/stux) [@geddit](https://geddit.social/c/geddit)
During the last few days I stumbled accross mulitple links to Lemmy subs or specific threads from other Lemmy instances where I was able to read comments although I wasn't logged in, since I don't have an account there. But when I try to lookup the same subs/instances via our beloved instance Geddit, it says that there are no comments, although I'm able to see the initial posting. Did anyone here experience something similar?
Just ran the spam account removal script on our database and it seems most of the spam accounts have been removed now.
All my content on the front page is 3 to 4 days old, and I've tried swapping between Active and Hot, both have the same result. I've also tried swapping from Local to All, didn't fix either. I know plenty of my communities I subscribe to have newer posts, yet my feed hasn't been updated in days. Is this a server issue? Have tried the website, and two different Lemmy apps and it all persists so it seems to be server-side.

Hi all! As many of you know an important feature has unfortunately been removed in the latest release of the Lemmy software, the captcha. The argument for this was that it doesn’t stop spam bots since some can solve captchas also. And I do concur that indeed some bots can do this, still many of the bot software out there cannot however. The developers of Lemmy also acknowledged this and they are working on adding back the captcha in version 0.18.1 so we will withhold updates until that release. Another important features on batteling the current spam waves are email validation and a lower rate limit number for signups. This can all be managed from the Lemmy admin interface 👌🏻 I hope I informed you on this and if you have questions please do ask in the comments♥️
Thunder now has a test flight app for iOS along with the AltStore option * [Test flight](https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B5) * [AltStore](https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder) Posting from the test flight install!

As you can see, there is a massive spam wave going on on Lemmey based instances. This can be avoided by enabling CAPTCHA with signup and also LIMIT the registers per X seconds! Currently the accounts are idle but this can change soon.. Please take action NOW!

Why should you know this? You might be used to Reddit where you can’t edit titles. When a post is edited (title or otherwise), a little pencil icon is shown to tell you it’s edited, just like comments.
Added the geddit.social instance to Fediverse Observer to keep track of some data.
An amazing tool for Lemmy users! Thanks to @inventa@lemmy.fmhy.ml & @alex@geddit.social
As you can see in c/Ukraine, the banner is of a pretty bad quality. This is the result of automatic conversion from png to webp. Maybe consider making it less aggressive? P.S. Setting the banner is a pain in the ass. So, sorry about a bunch of uploaded images
Anyone else having issues posting comments? I seem to be able to comment at the top of the thread, but replying to comments it just spins on the posting. Might have been a thread on the mstdn.social account from [@stux@geddit.social](https://geddit.social/u/stux)
Don't you agree it's super annoying it opens in the self tab?
Are you be willing to help out moderating Geddit?
Copypaste of /kbin @@ adress did not work. Replacing first @ with ! too Copypaste of https://kbin.social/m/Cats too.
