Nope, its partly on github, partly on the join-lemmy docs page, but mainly scattered across 4 matrix channels.
I think it does make sense because this is a discussion platform thats very organized and when people google an issue they can easily find it if its here
for some reason this was removed by a mod on ml with no indication as to why it was removed...
There should be a dedicated post every time a new version is released so people can ask questions about bugs\issues they encounter when upgrading their lemmy instance. The support community barely has any activity and theres never an official thread for the latest upgrade. The upgrade instructions are usually vague and then you have to go to matrix to ask questions and nothing is organized and cant be search on search engines.
For example im trying to upgrade from .18.5 to the latest (.19.3) but the ansible instructions are:
- git pull && git checkout 1.4.0
- Read Pictrs’ Configuration Changes
- Amend your vars.yml file to respect the new changes
It doesn’t give any details to where I might find the vars.yml file and it doesnt give an example file of what the file should look like after the correct changes are made.
EDIT: if anyone has the same issue. the issue was that the vars.yml file isnt on the server its on your local machine you run ansible from. located in /(domain)/lemmy-ansible/inventory/host_vars/(domain)/
It’s very strange that a platform that has the best ui for finding fixes to issues etc recommends people go to a separate chat platform to ask for questions that will presumably be asked multiple times since its so difficult to keep track of stuff.
Can we please have an official Lemmy Upgrade thread when a new version is released instead of relying on Matrix?
im going to write documentation for something I don't understand and can't figure out? Maybe if we had a dedicated website we all use that let us upvote good posts we could have a thread about support for the latest upgrade and then we could use the answers on that website (maybe we call it Lemmy) to update the documentation (which is partly on github, partly on the join-lemmy docs page, and scattered across 4 matrix channels)
thats not an upgrade support thread its a thread announcing the release. Notice how no one is posting there asking for support and no where in the documentation does it mention the thread. People are guided towards the matrix instead and theres like 4 matrix channels where people ask questions so its all unorganized, unsearchable on search engines, and no benefit of upvotes
that has nothing to do with this. Lemmygrad is a collection of bootlickers who simp for fascist governments like Russia and authoritarian ethnostates like North Korea
They should've explained that in the post if that was the case. Not make a pinned post that's locked with zero information. Also it would be a frivolous threat considering no website has ever had to remove internet archive links. If they want to threaten someone they have to threaten the Internet Archive not a tiny website like lemmy.world that is protected by section 230 and doesnt host any copyrighted material.
Lemmy.world has somehow decided to become to extreme defenders of "copyright" and decided they will now delete posts that contain archive links in an absurd move that not even corporate websites like Reddit do. Archive links provide a service to provide access to an article long after it is deleted or changed.
They made this post and locked it immediately so no one can comment on how ridiculous it is and they're deleting threads about the decision...

that doesn't happen to any social media why would it happen to tiny lemmy.world? Also lemmy.world isn't hosting any of the "copyrighted" material if its an archive link. They can go bark at the Internet Archive if they have a problem. Which they won't because that'd be ridiculous.
How does one disable image uploads on their server? I want to disable it for a while
I know how reposts work. I know how hashtags work. They’re not great way for discovery especially for discovering smaller accounts. I constantly get recommended tiny accounts posting their gamedev or indie anime work through the algorithm. We can have chronological and algorithm on one feed so its the best of both worlds
If we had an open source algorithm for Mastodon/Pixelfed that learned based on the words in the post and image/video we could have a Following + For You feed that showed you all the posts from people you follow and you could choose to see, say, 1 recommended For You post after every 3 posts from your Following feed. With the option to disable For You posts completely or tweak how often you see these.
Discovering new people to follow on mastodon/pixelfed isn’t great (hashtags are rarely used and make posts look ugly) so I still occasionally use twitter because I often discover new indie animators/gamedevs showing off their project making it really nice to browse the For You feed.
Theres a github issue open about it with other people mentioning it so i dont think its an issue on my end
Its not based on nothing. Its based on reports from multiple mastodon admins and assumed since the lemmy.world/mastodon.world admin is a huge server admin and is yet to deny signing any NDA like others have.
Its clearly not evidence but I’ll take his silence as a warrant canary not being updated until he states he hasn’t signed an NDA.
They signed an NDA so they probably can’t talk about it. Which sucks. (This is known because the larger mastodon servers were approached and the lemmy.world admin runs mastodon.world which is one of the biggest mastodon servers)
There’s been reports of people being in the ML/Ai industry asked to sign NDA’s by facebook and then essentially told to sit around and do nothing to essentially hold their competition captive.
Seems like posts start at in 60 minutes and then start counting down
ah yeah that seems to be it thanks.
using git pull and then running the ansible script to update break the lemmy server because it replaces the lemmy.hjson to have the old pictrs_url instead of ``` pictrs: { url: "http://pictrs:8080/" # api_key: "API_KEY" }
``` is there a way i can fix this so every update doesnt break the server requiring me to use the old helper script from .17.0 and manually update the lemmy.hjson?
Can you give a little overview of what mineclone2 is/includes?
They can migrate to a new account and keep all their followers
Grocery shopping for a recipe you then cook together. Or walk in the park
Because it feels way more like we’re in person when facetiming? Being able to see eachother and show eachother stuff is great. Its much different to discord because you’re focused on eachother not doing other stuff while the video is on the side
The story and work of Gary Bowser is pretty badass and would make for an interesting ama and event on lemmy. Here’s a recent article on Gary Bowser https://torrentfreak.com/gary-bowser-how-a-1980s-hacker-became-nintendos-nemesis-decades-later-230702/

An experimental Firefox fork that enhances focus and increases work productivity due to its hyper minimalistic UI and built-in tools.
Pulse Browser is a firefox fork that includes ublock origin, a sidebar, and a minimalist new tab page and nothing else. Its my daily driver and i wish more people knew about it so the developer could get some help

browsing through All has so much pro-fascist posts coming from lemmygrad that it drowns out all the other instances. I'm surprised they're even federated by default but we should have an option to block instances from All if lemmy is deadset on federating with them just because they are fascists with a red and yellow flag...
(before the Tankies start posting about how they aren't pro-fascism "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy" which all describe the Z movement in Russia they gleefully support in multiple posts)
Whenever I want to find useful information on something i search the thing and add "reddit" to the end of my search. I would love to be able to do that with lemmy but currently it seems like nothing on lemmy gets picked up by google.
Dozens of LGBT social media accounts run by university students,were deleted without explanation.
They apparently announced they would delete all posts related to homosexuality back in 2018 but backtracked after outrage but I guess they've felt its been enough time that people won't be paying as much attention now =\
It's very difficult to want to keep coming back to lemmy with so many communities I'm not interested being on my homepage. I want to be able to discover new communities and posts but have the ability to block certain communities I never want to see
