It was being used to ddos the site (and wasnt being maintained) so was turned off

Can you link to the post thats having issues

Should be back, federation might take a bit to catch up though

There seems to be some sort of issue with pictrs atm which is messing everything else up, trying to fix it but I might have to wait for snowe to manage the object storage

Might have something to do with peak activity times affecting it, ill see if I can speed it up more

Yeah we added another admin onto the team

cant add for a bit unless the user has a post or comment

should have access to my script to do it without that soon (just in exams atm)

Yeah it uses a system similar to github actions

The forgejo instance here is meant for repositories related to programming.dev and the fediverse

Cleared all the spam repos so you shouldnt see any more, will do a more permanent solution later (will see if I can do an application process using a third party form system since forgejo doesnt have that built in)

Yeah I havent gone through and cleared it in a bit since there isnt much of a point to due to it being mostly used internally only rn (and forgejo makes the process very annoying unless you do it directly through the db)

Ill purge things and adjust settings again soon

I couldnt find anything in the post details from looking at it that would differentiate it from other posts

Cant find anything that would cause this in the db. Thought the dates got messed up in federation but they seem to be perfectly normal. Still pinned even if I manually change the date to a year in the past

Im assuming something got messed up from the nodebb->lemmy federation

Im going to remove the post as thats the only way I see to get rid of it

I think the advantages of multiple communities outweighs the advantages of consolidating. Especially since things can be cross posted between the multiple communities easily

No longer able to access the content is referring to the federation. And the difficult to move off is referring to for example communities that have been attempting to get traction to move off of lemmy.ml

Not posting in the community doesn’t mean people there don’t interact with it. I have beehaw as an example on hand but im sure there’s other federation examples

I think its the kind of subject matter that fits programming.dev well and relying on outside instances for programming content with no mirror on our own site makes us too reliant on those other instances if anything happens in the future (e.g. extreme case but if that instance goes down. Lemmy handles it terribly since the community still exists as a ghost community with no federation but still viewable)

With similar logic we have a lot of the same communities as lemmy.ml communities including programmer_humor, opensource, etc. To give people an alternative spot to the lemmy.ml communities and so that we aren’t overly reliant on other infrastructure we can’t control within our instances subject matter

We typically dont close communities on programming.dev since then theres only one option for things

Ends up having things like people who use the community no longer being able to access the content and being difficult for the community to move off of it if something happens

e.g. beehaw.org is defederated from sh.itjust.works so any beehaw users wouldnt be able to use the community if the programming.dev one is closed

!emacs@programming.dev exists already

Ill go through and remove the hides from the communities that dont have bot content anymore

Not possible in lemmy atm past just rehiding everything from the instance every so often

edit: just did another round of hiding things from lemmynsfw, should be reflected in the hidden communities doc

I had @icon there and the cache didnt fully update yet

Ah yeah I need to refresh the data, ill do that later

Nobody reported it as down to me, I can bring it back up

Been working on some other projects recently so havent really looked at that site much

We just added a couple more people to have server access and ideally that situation wont happen again

That problem specifially could only be reproduced on the main server so fixes couldnt be tested without taking the entire site down and at some point after the 0.19.5 upgrade (when the issue happened) it became too late to roll the server back since there was too many activities that came in but if it happens again after an upgrade we would roll back pretty much instantly)

dbzer0 does seem like a better option for general privacy discussion though
