this is a bug in lemmy-ui. it works in alternative interfaces, e.g. at https://t.lemmy.world/c/إسلام.

the bug report about this was just recently closed due to a lack of external contributions to address the issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2207

that’s answered in the comment i linked

please remove the phishing link from this post immediately. you can defuse it e.g. by putting it in a code snippet and replacing the dots with [.], e.g. netprocesse[.]com.

if you’re talking about the image issue from this post, I have no plans to work on that as we don’t use the image proxy but if anyone wants to PR that they’re more than welcome to do so.

i see. for PWAs that’s expected, for the native app i would’ve expected a consistent UA for all requests.

our current blocks/challenges are explicitly targeting things that pretend to be browsers while not actually being browsers. we try to exclude requests that are expected to be accessed by browser based clients that aren’t directly on the main site. appending to browser user agents still matches our browser user agent detection.

i’m not sure why this was causing issues here though, especially with the login, as that should just be 100% api stuff and therefore use VoyagerApp/1.0 from the native app?

Hi,

this was possibly an unintended side-effect of our increasingly aggressive AI crawler DDoS blocking. When increasing the scope of issuing Cloudflare challenges we missed excluding API endpoints from the rule, that should be fixed now.

This should only have affected clients with browser user agents though, and I see requests with user agent VoyagerApp/1.0. @aeharding@vger.social do you know if Voyager can send browser-like user agents when installed from App Store?

lemmy currently doesn’t have granular federation controls. the only option right now is to defederate from mbin instances, but other instances might still announce your users’ votes to mbin instances. the more hacky way would be to also block federation related http requests from mbin instances to prevent them from retrieving user profiles, which is probably the most effective method that could be used.

piefeds non-federated votes are a user setting for the default value and users have the option for each vote whether it should be federated. see also https://piefed.social/post/982478

as explained in this post, the original implementation of “private voting” has already been replaced with non-federated voting, which addresses the abuse concerns, as it’s then limited to just the instance the votes are cast on.

it’s the software, similar to how you’re using lemmy right now

no notification of a moderation event

lemmy.world has notifications for local users or users in local communities for removed content.

piefed is a fair bit younger, the first commitin the git repo was on Fri Jul 28 02:07:44 2023 +0000. it has only in recent months started really picking up some traction with several lemmy instances already creating piefed instances as well.

did you see an orange/white cloudflare error page or something else? i tried searching for it in our server logs but i don’t find it.

you may however have hit an outage we had for several minutes around an hour before your comment due to running out of memory on the host.

lemmy doesn’t support subscribing to users, but you can subscribe to communities the same way you’d subscribe to other communities from other instances.

what kind of error did you see and what did you click on? a link to a post?

piefed doesn’t support animated media yet, iirc it doesn’t work in posts either

pixelfed supports signing in with mastodon, not sure about others

pretty much, yeah. different people, different programming languages, some feature differences, etc. but still the same content.

nobody needs to move to another platform. both lemmy and piefed show the same content, think of it more like using a different client that also has different features. both lemmy.world and piefed.world will continue to exist.

not that i know of. old.lemmy.world is a whole separate user interface, but a similar look can probably be achieved with themes alone.

no, accounts are completely separate.

piefed does have some social auth support, which is currently also being worked on, but lemmy is not an auth provider that can be used with that. once social auth in piefed becomes more stable we will consider enabling it for supported providers.
