Hello World,

Due to maintenance at our hosting provider Hetzner, there might be an outage of lemmy.world between 03:30 and 04:30 UTC on November 25th. (What's that in my timezone?)

We're aware of ongoing federation issues for activities being sent to us by lemmy.ml.

Hello World,

We would like to address some of the points that have been raised by some of our users (and by one of our communities here on Lemmy.World) on /c/vegan regarding a recent post concerning vegan diets for cats. We understand that the vegan community here on Lemmy.World is rightfully upset with what has happened. In the following paragraphs we will do our best to respond to the major points that we’ve gleaned from the threads linked here.

Hey all,

Hello World!

Hey everyone,

Dear Lemmy.world Community,

Hello everyone,

Hello there!

Hello Lemmy.World users,

Hey all, We are planning to do a Docker upgrade tomorrow 6/30 Sunday, around 1800 UTC. The whole site will be down during the upgrade, but should only be down for a short while. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Thanks!

Hello world!

Currently we have an images issue. Our Wasabi (S3) account was disabled because of some illegal content that was found, we’re working with them to get the account re-enabled and the content removed.

Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. If you encounter an issue where you cannot post or comment, but voting is functioning correctly, it is most likely because we have implemented a block for VPN & Tor users. If you are using these services, you can still take part in activities such as voting, reporting posts, and performing other passive actions on the site. We implemented this restriction because of users posting illegal content.

Hello World,

Hello World!

Lemmy.world is temporarily disabling open signups and moving to an application-required signup process, due to ongoing issues with malicious bot accounts.

Hey everyone, so as I’m sure everyone is aware Lemmy.World has been experiencing several outages throughout the last few days.

Lemmy.World is looking for 4 new Systems operators to help with our growing community.

We recently received a message from a concerned Rammy user regarding their instance not having an active admin team.

Hello world!

Earlier, after review, we blocked and removed several communities that were providing assistance to access copyrighted/pirated material, which is currently not allowed per Rule #1 of our Code of Conduct. The communities that were removed due to this decision were:

Hey everyone,

Over the past few weeks we have been receiving large amounts of activity requests from kbin instances, primarily kbin.social. The issue is intermittent and the root cause is unknown. It appears as though some process occasionally gets stuck in a loop on the kbin side. For example, a legitimate user may upvote a post in one of our communities, causing kbin to send an upvote action, then an undo action, then an upvote action again, an undo action again, and on and on.

[Update - March 3rd 2024 , 21:14 CET]

Hello world!

Hi all, We will be attempting to migrate Pict-rs tomorrow starting at 1700 UTC. Between now and 1700, image uploads will be disabled to try and avoid any data loss. You will still be able to like, comment and post until then. During the upgrade window, Pict-rs will be offline, so viewing images might not work. In theory CloudFlares CDN cache should cover us during the window, but YMMV. Hopefully everything should go smooth, but we do our best to make sure we have backups!

Hello World!

The results are in!

Edit : OK so the outage was less brief than expected. The upgrade of the 3GB pictrs database took over 1 hour, and the version 0.4 database is now 14.5 GB… But anyway, it seems to be working alright now!

EDIT: The update is done - Lemmy Host now running 0.18.5

Calling all Minecraft adventurers and builders! We’re thrilled to invite you to embark on an incredible journey on the lemmy.world Minecraft Server. Get ready for an immersive experience like no other, where creativity knows no bounds, and the possibilities are endless.

Hello everyone,

Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.

Edit: Upgrade finished

There was another attack going on (as you might have noticed). We’re working on a fix. In the meantime, we’ve blocked the listing of comments, so we at least aren’t down, but it did break comments.
