Ugh, a reminder that my note-taking could use some work.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Extra compositions to listen to:

David Maslanka: Traveler, for Wind Band, Piano and Percussions (2003)

Haydn: Symphony No.45 in F-Sharp Minor "Abschied"

[Guo Zu-Rong/郭祖荣] Essay for Piano No.6 (Score-Video)

You can listen to these while you're reading for better concentration or relaxation, as I've said before.

Enjoy!

(And don't forget to post your own favorite classical compositions.)

@meta What's happening @ https://lemmy.ml/ ? It's been returning "bad gateway" for almost half an hour now 😕

Noob question

I frequently notice typos, grammatical errors, poor wording, etc. in my comments shortly after posting, so I edit them. Do those edits get shared among servers as quickly as the initial post did?

Title. With so many communities on .world, the feed feels very sparse without them.

On my main (@[email protected]), I moderate [email protected]. I thought I’d kinda federate my existence on the platform by creating this alt on lemmy.ml, but when I search communities, while I can find some other lemmy.world ones (validating that .ml/.world federation is working as I understand it), technicaldeathmetal isn’t found. Am I doing something dumb as a user? As a mod? Have I misunderstood the intent of this instance, and I’d be better off trying the same thing from elsewhere? TIA

It seems lemmygrad.ml is federating with them and I was just wondering if this instance will too. I used to browse r/chapotraphouse before reddit banned them and I didn't know the community was still alive in hexbear until recently. I'm sure a lot of leftists in this instance would also benefit from being able to browse hexbear contents

Reference, June 4, 2023: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2910

Questions:

1. Lemmy.ml was crashing every 10 minutes of every single day since May 25. Do you dispute this claim I make? Server log Evidence?

2. June 4 issue 2910 was on Github and the same developers who run lemmy.ml put a tag on the issue June 4.

3. Did it say server-crashing topic?

4. Were you aware of the end-of-June Reddit API change?

5. When was the issue fixed, date and who?

6. Did you ask PostgreSQL communities on Lemmy for help? Which posts?

7. Is lemmy.ml a developer run instance? Is this your idea of "supported" example of Lemmy's rust lemmy_server code?

Please explain. Like PostgreSQL EXPLAIN?

Was this what was given as an Issue 2910 to you on June 4, 2023?

My apologies if this is a known issue or dumb question. Is there a reason that when subscribing to [email protected] there are no posts showing up? I am subscribed to it as a user of lemmy.ml but nothing is there. When I browse to https://lemmit.online/c/superstonk there are many many posts.

Previously this post title was "2fa doesn't work"

Hi, I enabled 2fa about 2 weeks ago, it seemed to work but now I can’t log in, it doesn’t say anything, I just see 400 http status in browser’s debugger (F12), i have only this Jerboa session logged in and no browser session to disable 2fa

EDIT: weird, now it doesn't ask for my 2fa (admin godly intervened?), just straight refuses to log me in, no error message, just HTTP 400 in console, password reminder email doesn't come too Imgur link

Apps say incorrect_login

UPDATE so yeah, it was a 2fa problem, new jerboa has a corresponding toggle in the account settings, so I disabled it and can log in in other clients

First off, please bear with me before shoving something down. Totally aware that lemmy.ml has been experiencing a significant surge in traffic lately.

This is my (sort of) test account, and I wanted to get a new account name that actually represents me. It’s been almost 2 days since I signed up, and the process seems to be stuck in limbo. Not sure if that’s because the username and email address I attempted to register are too cryptic and come off as a dummy.

What’s worse is that I mistakenly used the wrong username during sign-up, and now I’m eager to reclaim my email address.

Yes, while I could have easily created an account on another instance and still interacted here, I have my own personal, complicated, and admittedly silly reasons for wanting to have my main under this domain.

All I wanted to know is whether lemmy.ml will open up again in the future. I don’t mind waiting if it will. And not sure how can I reclaim my email address.

I just think it’s a bit crazy to see a pro Russia admin use this community to spew misinformation.

** Update: I still haven't heard from any mod, but the user did get back to me though they weren't very receptive to the frustration. However, I did find out that you can remove others as mods but the option is hidden in having to click into one of their posts. So, this unique situation is resolved, but the appointing of a mod without checking if the current community is actually abandoned should still be addressed.**

A user posted on !community_requests claiming that a sub I'm a moderator of had no active mods despite the fact that I have actively been posting on there and holding a moderation discussion with the community this week. At the time of request the account was only a day old. Still, an admin proceeded to make them a mod in our community.

As far as I can tell, this was a mistake on both the user and admin's part.

Within an hour of the new mod appearing I responded to both the admin and the user politely asking them for answers about what happened. I also privately DMed the user on Matrix asking them to demod themselves and put a post up in the community petitioning to become a mod instead of just sidestepping the people who are already there.

It has now been nearly 8 hours and no admin has gotten back to me, and the user hasn't responded.

Even if this is a mistake, it gives me a lot of pause. The fact a one day old account could come and claim our community was abandoned, even though clearly it was not, and be given mod powers for hours upon hours after the mistake being reported is really scary.

Again, I think this was a mistake on both the admin and user's part, but there needs to be a better process to deal with this going forward. I'm really disappointed.___

Where can I donate to lemmy.ml instance?

Is there a roadmap I can consult?

Right guys?

Hi everyone, if this is not the right place please let me know.

I was trying to log in on the lemmy.ml insrance on the web but there appears that the api is returning 404 errors and not letting me log in.

The error appears on console in dev tools and reads that the POST call to https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/loging is getting a 404 error from the server.

I have tried Brave, Edge, and Firefox with the same result.

Lemmy.ml seems to block access to any requests with the specific user agent string "kbinBot" (and not just "Bot" or "Kbin", so it seems very deliberate), which means the ~51.000 users on kbin.social don't see anything new happening in Lemmy.ml communities.

It's been brought up a couple times, but no lemmy.ml admin has commented on it yet.

I think I was using the web page just before and after the update, and quickly noticed that things were much nicer to use!!

Thanks to the devs and admins here. Awesome to see the work!

I keep getting network errors. Can't post anything, load any threads, etc etc. Is this a Lemmy.ml problem, or a me problem?

Does this apply at all to Lemmy users, or is this just internal?

Once I hear back about the responses I have submitted, I will update you all. It is most likely best to just add an option inside of the app to either delete the account through the API or to direct the user to the correct location on the website to do this.
