Sites back up

Got a lot of information about what it actually causing the issues which should help me automate some fixes for tomorrow + the weekend

There likely will be some more downtime tomorrow if I have time (if not itll be on saturday)

The issue is essentially a chain of issues with one needing to be fixed before I can fix the others. Some tables have duplicates entries which is preventing reindexing (since the indexes are broken). First one im going to try to fix is the post table.

I did some changes to remove a duplicate community to test which is https://programming.dev/c/photography@lemmy.world and ive managed to make it merged and now comments will show if you sort by comments in the community. Posts however still aren't showing up due to the posts table having the issue with duplicates as well. (fixing posts first so I can set all of the posts to the correct community in an automated way later for the communities)

What's with all of the empty communities being created? by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Trending communities is scuffed and doesnt actually show trending communities. Usually if theres a new community made within the last 2 days it shows there otherwise it shows the most dead communities as they are getting large subscriber activity relative to their MAU

Vacant collects a lot of different kinds of communities ranging from unmoderated ones that havent been taken over yet by a new mod team to ones that are admin started to start getting some content on that subject (usually if thats the case ill be posting in it on my other account)

Regarding sublinks and feeling concerned about what is going on with it by Ategon in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nothing would change about the community itself if it goes from lemmy to sublinks. Still accessible on the federation as normal and on version 0.1 the core features should have parity

Reposting my comment I did before:

Sublinks is a drop in replacement for lemmy. In version 0.1 nothing should really be different between the two apart from the default UI looking different

For world Ruud commented about that before and nothings been decided currently on theyre going to handle it (I assume youll see some sort of post in their meta community way before anything happens)

Instance admin updates + Blahaj by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

For the first paragraph: year fair. I'll likely do some more additions to our admin guidelines for expected conduct on non admin accounts and I can do a general expected conduct when participating in the instance (for all instance users) for behaviors that anyone shouldn't do regardless of whether they're an admin or not. Can add that to the support site im making

Most of the pronoun situation just stems from discrepancies in different frontends where the "main" frontend shows it but most people are on mobile apps that don't show it leading to people assuming visibility when that isnt the case. In your second paragraph people who don't realize the discrepancy in these frontends may think they're making it clear as you say

But yeah overall things in the conversation wasnt done maliciously and was able to be resolved fine

There was some other branches other than the pronoun situation although that was one of the main ones pointed out to me for defederation reasons

[Completed] Instance will be down while updating to 0.19.1 starting at 23:00 UTC (mastodon.social)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Ategon@programming.dev to c/meta@programming.dev

Hey everyone! Were pushing through the update to 0.19 now that 0.19.1 is out that fixes the issues with it (outbound federation breaking + show read posts not working)

Said in the previous meta post it would be after christmas but due to something that got noticed about 0.18 (not going to specify what since we and a bunch of other instances are still on it) were pushing it through now

Major Changes in 0.19

Code block support in lemmy-ui (the website) (contributed by programming.dev)
Activity metrics now includes voters (contributed by programming.dev) (this is how our instance was doing it but now all instances do)
Reports are now resolved automatically when a post is marked as deleted
2FA has been reworked to prevent people getting locked out
Users can now block instances
Theres a new scaled sort that can be used (hot sort but takes into account community active users so it boosts low activity communities)
You can now remote follow instances by browsing on another site and hitting subscribe when not logged in (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1875#issuecomment-1727790414)

Theres a bunch of other changes but not relevant to end users or are more minor

NOTE

If you enabled 2fa you will need to enable it again due to the 2fa changes
You will need to log in again due to authentication changes

Code block support is not fully rolled out yet but likely will be in the middle of the event. Try to share solutions as both code blocks and using something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ , pastebin, or github (code blocks to future proof it for when 0.19 comes out and since code blocks currently function in some apps and some instances as well if they are running a 0.19 beta)

This community still mostly has me running it and has 1 other mod but I typically like starting communities off with at least 2 mods. This community is a bit different in that theres the solution megathreads that need to be posted when a new day drops (and then unlocked when the global leaderboard fills up). When it has a dedicated mod team running it ill remove myself so its not admin run

If youre interested feel free to say so below

Note: to be a mod its preferred if your account is within the instance since lemmy doesnt handle cross-instance modding that well and this makes it so you have access to features added to pangora that other instances may not have

Programming.Dev Feature Requests by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah should be fine, dont think any changes made are going to severely overhaul the base structure so everything will be able to merge in (and if it does change then makes sense to branch off at that point)

Yeah it'll be in a github repo. Currently trying to brainstorm a name and then I'll share the repo publicly

Threads and the Fediverse by Ategon in c/meta@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Since snowe is the one building it they would be the one able to give more specifics but since the instance itself is the one building it we have more control over adapting it specifically for polling and stopping bad actors in the context of polling rather than tacking some stuff onto upvotes.

Edit: Deleted the last sentence I wrote and rewrote it here. It will be possible to limit it to instance members only (since we can just not make the feature federate) but it shouldn't need to come to that and it can be tracked what instances has people voting to catch outliers while still allowing active people in this instance with accounts on some others have a say. Again though thats just my thoughts on the polling but im not the one building it

Non-general purpose posts by Ategon in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

getting people who may not know where otherwise to post to then nudge them towards a more specific community for future ones

an example of that would be the python post that was given as an example in the original post where they just asked how to do something in python here and since they were new they just did it in c/programming. Then someone told them about python and the next python help post they did they made in the python community instead

edit: yeah
