It’s a known bug in Sync with Lemmy 0.19.5:
https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/539

lemmy.world is still on Lemmy 0.19.3.

Waning testosterone has some advantages: no more acne, cooler emotions, fewer irrational thoughts. I once heard someone say that young men go through years of testosterone poisoning, and I get it now.

I finally started lifting seriously. I highly recommend it. I look better, feel better, and a lot of little aches and pains that were starting to creep up on me have gone away.

A few gray hairs in the beard looks really sharp.

At one time they had open registrations, so spammers were taking advantage and setting up shop there. It looks like the instance now has a sign-up application. I have unblocked them. Thanks for noticing!

This is a good opportunity to remind users about our Fediseer profile: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/sh.itjust.works
We try to keep our Censures list on Fediseer up to date with the sh.itjust.works instance blocklist. That way we can leave notes in Fediseer explaining why each instance is blocked.

Give me streetcars, give me subways, give me walkable neighborhoods and bicycle paths, but you can keep your buses.

That’s Mira the Archaeologist from TaleSpin. I agree she looks a bit like a bear, but I think she’s supposed to be a fox in the show.

If you’re interested in taking over Best of Mastodon (or if anyone else expresses interest) then I can certainly unlock it.

No, spam wasn’t an issue. This community was simply looking abandoned; I had a “seeking mods” post up for six months and got no responses. It’s also another case of Lemmy community fragmentation. Hopefully having fewer, better-moderated communities for a given topic will drive more user engagement than spreading posts over lots of little-used communities.

In hindsight I should have pinned an explanatory post beforehand so users could weigh in. I will do that in the future.

Happy midsummer!

I visited Sweden years ago. On the trip I was invited to join a family’s midsummer party. It was lots of fun!

I hope I can go back some day. It’s a fantastic country.

Thanks for the heads-up. They’re gone now.

I’m definitely interested in hear other people’s opinions. Posting something in the Agora seems like a good idea. If nobody in this thread does it then maybe I’ll put something up myself in a few days.

For now, @imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works’s suggestion is the way to go: PM one of us admins on a case-by-case basis and we’ll help out.

In the long term, maybe we should set some criteria for identifying dead or unmodertaed communities and locking them? Our instance has hundreds communities, many of which are hardly used and likely abandoned by their creators. I made an effort some months ago to find active mods for the busiest communities, and remove communities with no assigned moderator. I’m not sure what to do with the rest of them, if anything. They aren’t causing immediate problems. And confirming the activity status of every mod is one of those dull chores that has lingered at the bottom of my to-do list.

Some of the instance admins have been poking at this lagging federation issue for a few weeks now, trying to figure it out.

The Reddthat admin noticed that Lemmy’s federation process can’t seem to meet demand in some cases. Reddthat has had trouble staying current with lemmy.world due to the network latency between Europe and Australia: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/9807807. I understand that lemmy.nz has seen this, too.

Another thing that has been noticed is spamming of actions from kbin instances. It looks like some process gets stuck in a loop on the kbin side. https://lemmy.world/comment/8961882

I’m sure there are other contributing problems that still aren’t well understood. This software is a work in progress, after all.

This is art 🤌

When I first put roadrunner and coyote on for my kids they laughed so hard we couldn’t hear the TV. Good times!

The lawnmower will find them, along with the half-dozen lost Nerf darts.

Or, if you’re partial to German, there’s Barbara selling rhubarb pies:

I would bet dollars to doughnuts that sign was mixed up by some drunk Tufts undergrads.

It looks like either a bug or deficiency with kbin. kbin has a message feature, but I haven’t been able to send messages between kbin and Lemmy.

Secede

This is even better than I imagined!
