I've noticed for a week or so now that Sopuli has somewhat frequent (almost daily) issues with gateway timeouts. I guess that "web facing" process crashes for some reason, but this got me wondering if the issue is known problem with lemmy or something else and more importantly is there something we could help with?

For couple of hours browsing New/All the feed is filled with spambots advertising porn on a very shady domains. Lemmy doesn't seem to have option to report users so I've been just blocking them (there's not THAT many to block after all) but that got me thinking what would be the best way to report spam accounts and how reporting posts actually work.

If I report a post on sopuli does the notification go to admins at spammers home instance since I don't think sopuli admins can do much for individual users on other host? And if there's any tools (existing or planned) which would help with situations like this?

Sopuli was upgraded to Lemmy’s version 0.18.3 that was released several hours ago. The instance was down several minutes but otherwise the upgrade went well.

Sopuli päivitettiin Lemmyn versioon 0.18.3, joka julkaistiin muutama tunti sitten. Instanssi oli alhaalla jokusen minuutin, mutta muuten päivitys meni hyvin.

My feed is currently being flooded with r/place spam that I could easily hide with a content filter like I did on reddit. Would be really nice to get this feature on the blocked-page.

I made a post on a community on lemmy.world : https://sopuli.xyz/comment/1128916 .

A reply was made to this post that can bee seen when viewed from lemmy .world : https://lemmy.world/post/1354014 , but not when viewed through sopuli.xyz : https://sopuli.xyz/post/1218178 and I did not receive a notification of this.

I also noticed that a number of this users posts were missing when viewed from sopuli.xyz : https://sopuli.xyz/u/[email protected] they can be seen when viewed from lemmy.world : https://lemmy.world/u/setsneedtofeed .

I have notified the [email protected] and he is contacting the admins at lemmy.world and I thought I should do the same with sopuli.xyz as I have no idea where the problem is occurring.

Thanks, if there is any other info that might be useful let me know and I will endeavour to help.

Moi!

Tykästyin käyttämään Lemmyä wefwef-nimisen web-sovelluksen kautta. Nyt vaihdoin puhelinta, mutta WefWef ei annakaan enää kirjautua sisään Sopulin instanssin. Herjaa vaan virheestä ja käskee yrittämään uudestaan.

Onko kellään samanlaista kokemusta ja onko joku löytänyt tähän ratkaisua? Tai olisiko jollakulla suositella appia Lemmyn käyttöön (Reddittiä sekaisin Reddit is fun -sovelluksella)

Kiitos!

I always missing posts published on my communities as I almost never notice them in my home feed.

I want to receive a notification each time a new post is available on a community I moderate, even via RSS if not possible on the main interface.

During the last few days several Lemmy instances such as Lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone have come victims of hacking. This hacking happened by exploiting an XSS vulnerability enabled by custom emojis set by an instance. This way the admins' cookies could be captured. A good recap of the incident has been made here.

This vulnerability doesn't concern Sopuli, as we have not enabled our own emojis. Custom emojis set by an instance don't federate with other instances. Even after this incident it may take longer time to enable those. In case you are wondering why you had to login again, I replaced the JWT secret used by the instance with a new one just in case.

Muutaman viime päivän aikana muutamat Lemmy-instanssit kuten Lemmy.world ja lemmy.blahaj.zone ovat joutuneet hakkeroinnin uhreiksi. Tämä hakkerointi tapahtui hyödyntämällä instanssin omien emojien mahdollistamaa XSS-haavoittuvuutta. Näin ylläpitäjien evästeet saatiin haltuun. Tapauksesta on tehty hyvä tiivistys täällä.

Tämä haavoittuvuus ei koske Sopulia, koska emme ole ottaneet käyttöön omia emojeja. Instanssin itse asettamat emojit eivät federoidu muiden instanssien kanssa. Tämän tapauksen jälkeenkin niiden käyttöönotossa saattaa kestää pidemmän aikaa. Jos ihmettelette, miksi joudutte kirjautumaan uudestaan, korvasin instanssin käyttämän JWT-käyttöoikeustietueen varuilta uudella.

It seems it originates via custom emojis.. Does we even have any? I saw some saying that removing them helps for now.

FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked.

Now with all the discussion going on about Facebook joining the fediverse and what to do about it many people seem to be advocating for defederating with them thinking that they're going to grab all your data and this is the only way to stop them.

I'm not especially educated on the subject but my understanding is that this is not at all what defederating does and also I don't think that's going to stop them from getting the little data that's here publicly available for anyone anyways.

I'm trying to get my head around the entire concept of the fediverse but it seems like there's very few people who actually understand how it works and these people seem entirely absent in these popular threads I'm reading.

Voi vastata myös suomeksi.

Sopuli was upgraded to Lemmy's version 0.18.1 that was released a moment ago. Looks like this upgrade went rather painlessly compared to the previous one.

Sopuli päivitettiin Lemmyn versioon 0.18.1, joka julkaistiin hetki sitten. Tämä päivitys taisi mennä verrattain kivuttomasti edelliseen verrattuna.

Eli www:n lisäys sopuliin näyttää nginx:n tervetulotoivotuksen etusivulla, 404 muuten. Onko tällä väliä, eipä kai ihmeesti, mutta satuin huomaamaan.

I know that's the talk of the minute and the rest of Lemmy is bombarded with arguments about whether to defederate from threads or not.

I'm not looking to start the debates here as well but I'm just curious on our beloved admin's stance about it, are we going to allow federation with threads?

Hi, I hope this is the right place. I have successfully subscribed to some remote communities, but now whenever I view a remote community there's no "Subscribe" button I can click but instead just plain text saying "Subscribe", like the button is disabled or something.

Does anyone know why that's happening and what I should do to subscribe to more remote / federated communities?

Hi and thanks for running this instance.

As devops/infra guy, few technical things sprang into mind:

• are there any (hw) redundancies at server side?
• what happens if current admin gets hit by a bus?
• if instance dies permanently, what happens to its users and posts?
• is the vps virtual or real?
• if the vps is compromised or something explodes, are there any off-site backups?

Thanks.

All this post talks about is on going to an instance on your android favorite browser (mines Mull), click on 3 dots (options) and install/add to home screen, so the instance will show in webview/webapp version

For some reason, when trying to use webview version of sopuli, the wv crashes instantly, but, at lemmy.world or lemmy.ml for example it works flawlessly. Any idea why can it be?

Tomorrow from 18:00 onwards Sopuli will be down for some time. During this time, the Hetzner VPS will be scaled up (quad-core procesor and 16 GB of RAM) and other measures will be taken.

Update 04.07.2023: The maintenance is done and Sopuli is up again!

Huomenna klo 18:00 alkaen Sopuli on alhaalla jonkin aikaa. Tällöin Hetznerin virtuaalipalvelin skaalataan isommaksi (neliydinprosessori ja 16 gigatavua keskusmuistia) ja tehdään muita toimenpiteitä.

Päivitys 04.07.2023: Huolto on tehty ja Sopuli on taas ylhäällä!

Hi,

i'm new to lemmy, trying it out if i like it. One thing that bothers me is how inconsistent the UI is so i made this css to make lemmy-ui more easy for my eyes and thought why not share it. Maybe someone else would like it too.

You can install it with Stylus browser extension or whatever method you prefer.

Be aware that it may break some things, but i will likely improve it if i decide to stay on lemmy.

Added Lemmy Darker @ userstyles.world!

I have recently claimed the community [email protected]. When I browse the original instance, my username is in the mod list. But browsing from sopuli, the mod list is empty, and I don't have access to any mod tools.

I have gotten messages from several registered users that have not received a verification email. Their accounts are not therefore verified, and they have had to resort to logging in through password reset. This seems to a problem that has sparked discussions. If you have not received a verification email, message me and I will set you verified. Check also your spam folders! I also added this to the FAQ.

Olen saanut viestejä rekisteröityneiltä käyttäjiltä, jotka eivät ole saaneet vahvistussähköpostia. Heidän tilinsä eivät ole tällöin vahvistettuja, ja he ovat joutuneet kirjautumaan kiertotietä salasanan nollauksen kautta. Tämä näyttää olevan keskustelua herättänyt ongelma. Jos et ole saanut vahvistussähköpostia, minulle voi laittaa viestiä niin asetan sinut vahvistetuksi. Katsokaa myös roskapostikansionne! Lisäsin tämän asian myös UKK:hon.

Is it possible to improve the Finnish localization? E.g. Joined is translated to "liittyi" ("it joined") which doesn't make any sense in the actual context for "being subscribed". I think "Jäsen" (member) would be better expression for clarity or at least "Liitytty" ([have been] joined).

Another weird one is "Viesti" ("message"/"communicate") for send message button. I think it feels like "a message" as a noun and not as "to message" verb. "Lähetä" ("Send") would be much more understandable for Finnish speakers.

I can only subscribe randomly. Usually when I search for the instance and click the link in search results, sometimes when I click back and forth links.

If I write the url, by hand I just see a "subscribe" text with no button functionality. How can I fix this/subscribe then?

I'm using Brave (Versio 1.48.171 Chromium: 110.0.5481.177.)

I've always used this instance in Italian, set automatically when I first loaded it. Today it is now in English. Is there a setting to revert it back, or is the Italian language no longer supported?

The latest 0.18 version of Lemmy was released an hour ago and Sopuli will be updated to it at 18:15. Be vary of possible instance downtime.

I now also made a Patreon page in case you are interested in supporting Sopuli and ensuring its longevity.

Happy midsummer to all!

EDIT: Holy moly, the UI got a lot more modern and elegant! Tell if you have noticed any performance improvements or something interesting!

Lemmyn uusin versio 0.18 julkaistiin tunti sitten ja Sopuli päivitetään siihen klo 18:15. Varautukaa instanssin mahdolliseen alhaalla olemiseen.

Tein myös Patreon-sivun jos Sopulin tukeminen ja sen jatkuvuuden takaaminen kiinnostaa.

Hyvää juhannusta kaikille!

EDIT: No huh, käyttöliittymästä tuli paljon modernimpi ja elegantimpi! Kertokaa jos olette huomanneet suorituskyvyn parantuneen tai jotain mielenkiintoista!
