Apologies for the bit of downtime. I've just updated Lemmy.nz to 0.19.10 as well as aligning our nginx config with the latest config from the Lemmy repository. We had been running an original one from when the instance started, with some custom changes. Now we should benefit from changes over the last couple of years.

Details of the latest release are here: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2025-03-19_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.10_and_Developer_AMA

Some highlights:

  • Youtube thumbnails should be fixed
  • DMs are now removed when banning user with content removal (i.e. deletes scammer "Nicole the Fediverse chick" DMs)
  • Resolving some language setting issues

I was hoping to solve a video streaming issue but the update to the nginx config doesn't seem to have helped so I need to play with it some more. So there may be more brief outages tonight but I will try things in my test instance first.

Oh, don't ban Nicole... she is almost the only DM's I get

You need to talk to your instance admin about that!

Don't you worry, the accounts pop up so fast that you're still sure to get some DMs.

I'm pretty sure this means that the DMs will be removed on home instance ban. So outside of our control anyway 🤷

But if it helps, it seems we still get the DM:
