Hi Everyone!

We've setup a shared account to simplify the process of contacting an admin.

Rather than messaging several of us, you can now contact @admin@lemmy.ca and we'll all be notified.

A link to this user is also available in our main sidebar on the home page.

Developer is targeting individuals with a blacklist he maintians, enabled by default. Dev can do what he wants, but I'd like my home instance to consider removing it as a front end.

To be specific, I'd like to link the fedecan pages for alternative UIs, finding communities, and the privacy page. They are well made and very clean.

I completely understand if this is not ok. I'm not trying to steal credit, so I thought I'd ask first

Hi @admin@lemmy.ca, the mods of !ndp@lemmy.ca don't seem to be active on Lemmy for more than a year: @leftwingmememachine@lemmy.ca and @MarkG_108@lemmy.ca and the community has a pretty dated banner and pinned posts. Since the new leadership, it's becoming more active, so I want to volunteer to help run it. Is there a process to do it?

I need ideas or help trying to delete a post that appears on Lemmy.ca. Some background info: I made the post in early 2025 with my lemm.ee username. The post was created on Lemmy.one. Now the post only appears on Lemmy.ca. I would delete it myself but lemm.ee was deleted and I cannot login with my old username & password. Any help is appreciated.

All the icons got all big and wonky. I even had trouble making this post.

Decided to check out the site above and I'm not sure if I'm reading things correctly, but it looks like we're running behind Lemmy.World by a significant amount compared to the other major instances. I'm also noticing the scores of my posts in a Lemmy.World community is not updating despite receiving upvotes.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues or any odd issues in general?

Is there an option to pin a community in my home page so I can just click on it instead of searching for it?

I can't see any content from https://lemmy.ca/c/progressivepolitics@lemmy.world even though the community is right there https://lemmy.world/c/progressivepolitics

Instead I see a "Error! There was an error on the server" message.

As far as I can tell from my modlog and the modlog of the community I haven't been banned.

I can see other lemmy.world communities, like for example https://lemmy.ca/c/world@lemmy.world so I don't think some kind of block at the instance level has happened.

What is going on?

Hi, I know the past few weeks have been somewhat challenging for mods given the rhetoric around certain events.

I can say some rather inflammatory things.

I noticed that there is a gap in my history, I know I posted certain things, some not so nice, and I would understand their removal.

However, there's nearly a month gap and absolutely no mod log regarding any comments I've left.

Did I get Pam Bondi'd? Or something.

The last modlog entry I see is from 2 months ago.

@lemmy_ca_support hi... is one of you the owner of @MVOverpassDWI ? I just realized it hasn't posted in months and wondered if it was abandoned or just needed resetting. Thanks and sorry if I got the wrong people

Just happened to https://lemmy.ca/post/50881857.

Logged out and back in and still seeing the problem.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

A few days ago my main account ( @irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) and a few of my alts were banned for vote manipulation. (https://lemmy.ca/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=20988171)

While i did upvote 2 posts with the alts, they were both by a friend, and I knew the posts were going to get downvoted anyway. I have since removed the votes (that i know of).

There could be a few posts I upvoted by mistake on an alt without realising I already voted on it.

How I am supposed to re-toot (boost) previous post from another instance of fediverse, when my home instance of fediverse not showing those posts ?

One feature I miss from reddit is preventing my inbox from being cluttered by responses to comments that I don't care to read.

Seems to me that any comment that goes about +50 inevitably attracts commentors that are better off ignored. The inability to turn off inbox replies for a controversial but upvoted comment results in spam that reduces incentive to participate in the community.

Me personally, I find negative comments easier to respond correctly to when they're presented in the context of the other comments as opposed to isolated in my inbox.

As such I believe this feature contributes to higher quality participation overall.

RESOLVED: Seems language undeterimed was causing the issue. Hitting back in the browser (in old.lemmy on chrome) retains the post contents. All I had to do was select English and resubmit.

.....

Yea I just spent like an hour typing out a submission and when I hit submit it just dissapeared.

I honestly am so disappointed.

Can someone help me figure out what happened? Was it because I didn't select a language??

Every time this comes up on my feed, generally from an ani.social account, my a/v says dangerous site and blocks the URL but that popup is getting annoying, how can I block this url from lemmy (default webpage/summit app). I have blocked the instance ani.social and 2 of their comms animemes@ani.social and ANI.SOCIAL META@ani.social. Now one of the 196 comms has the same url link from someone on ani.social. Can't turn off that notification as this is a work pc using shudder Nortons

I didn't want to make a sequel to a previous question which got discontinued for the very reason that one of the people in question began attacking the question itself in ways that are relevant here, but I've run into an issue and was wondering where the line is drawn. Because people know the person in charge of the fedilore community won't do anything about things when they occur (usually based on whether they are partial or not in a situation), some individuals have begun amassing as large a mob as they can to incite matters about me (of note, the majority of what they are saying is slander and/or taken out of context) even when absolutely irrelevant, with at least one of these individuals taking advantage of being invisible in certain instances. Where are the lines drawn, and may something be done?

The link on the sidebar of https://lemmy.ca/ is linked to lemmy.ca/c/support

Trying to connect to Lemmy.ca from Mexico, since about yesterday, I'm getting a connection refused. I have to VPN to Canada to use the site.

Is this normal behaviour?

Using Voyager, so maybe an issue with how it's communicating with the picture services?

This could be happening with other instances but I've only seen it with lw. Occasionally I'll make posts into lemmy.world communities that just don't federate. It's not delayed federation -- the post always exists in that community but only on the copy of it here and only Lemmy.ca users can see it and interact with it. It's kinda like a secret Canadian version of the community, I guess.

It's more of an inconvenience because it happens fairly infrequently but is this a known problem? Is it resolvable?

Edit: this just happened with the last story I posted to c/world. When it wasn't on the actual l.w page, I deleted it, reposted it, and it worked fine. In the past though, there have been stretches of up to a few hours where nothing makes it off the server.

In settings, I've checked 'open links in new tab', but it doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

ETA Someone suggested I try a different interface, and turns out it works fine in alex.lemmy.ca, just not lemmy.ca. So problem is at least kind of solved! Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to help!

Link posts from thetyee.ca appear to be previewing the Cloudflare captcha challenge "Attention Required! | Cloudflare" prompt instead of actual content.

What it looks like (two examples - this seems to be a consistent problem for thetyee):

(from https://lemmy.ca/post/39053782)

(from https://lemmy.ca/post/39058782)

What it should look like (a different post):

My guess is that the rich link preview is generated in Lemmy's backend, and Cloudflare thinks that the IP address of lemmy.ca's host is full of bots.

No educated guess on the solution, though, but I'd guess that other Lemmy admins have seen sort of thing too.
