Old post, from before this /c was created.

User count has plateaued at about 420K

Active user count rose significantly between 2/24 37K to 3/24 51K

Hopefully users who signed up last year are coming back to use their accounts.

Maybe because they're tired of ads on reddit?

Should we put together a collection and and buy an ad campaign on Reddit?

I can see it now:

"Ads suck. We're ad-free forever. Join Lemmy."

and

"He'll never get us. Join Lemmy." or "Don't let him get you. Join Lemmy"

When I search for communities about animation on the web interface, I see one called !animation@lemmy.film

There has been no activity in the /c for 6 months.

It's not my native instance, but I can read posts and comments in the /c, and I can even create a post in the /c.

But when I try to visit http://lemmy.film in a browser, I get a "Web Server Is Down" page.

Is the content in !animation@lemmy.film a ghost of cached content on my native instance?

A new post with 1 deleted comment shows as "comment symbol 0 (-1 New)"

... which looks goofy.

But not in this /c, maybe there's some kind of /c setting that shows quantities of new comments?

Maybe I made and deleted the comment too soon after I created this post?

There have been a number of comment spam attacks in various posts in a couple of /c's that I follow by a user/individual who uses account names like Thulean*

For example: ThuleanSneed@lemmy.tf in !coffee@lemmy.world

and ThuleanPerspective2@eviltoast.org in !anime@ani.social

edit: Also ThuleanSneed@startrek.website in !startrek@startrek.website

The posts have been removed or deleted by the respective /c's mods, and the offending accounts banned, but you can see the traces of them in those /c's modlogs.

The comments consist of an all-caps string of words with profanities, and Simpsons memes.

An attack on a post may consist of several repeated or similar looking comments.

This looks like a bored teenager prank, but it may also be an organization testing Lemmy's systemic and collective defenses and ability to respond against spam and bot posts.

After I've saved a post to a /c hosted by another instance than the one that I'm logged into, I can open that post for editing, but I'm unable to save my edits to that post.

For example: I made a post to !ukraine@sopuli.xyz, while logged in elsewhere. Something or other in the webpage link is forcing a download, so I tried to edit the URL in the post, but I can't save it.

This also happened to a post I made to !coffee@lemmy.world where I was trying to edit the text in the post's Body after saving the post.

I can save edits to my posts to /c's on my native instance just fine.

Before I begin, I have to say that this post includes links to an instance, ani.social, that has been defederated from this instance, lemmy.ml, because that's where I discovered this problem.

But in this case, I hope the admins understand that this is worth reporting and investigating, and don't insta-delete this post, because this problem appears to happen with more than that one instance, including sopuli.xyz, which is not defederated from here at lemmy.ml

Let us begin:

With Lemmy account setting “Auto Expand Media” turned on, when I’m viewing community https://ani.social/c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz on my desktop browser, Firefox on Windows, one particular post, https://ani.social/post/1923262 , causes the /c view to ask me to download an .mp4 video from streamable.com:

After declining the download, the space where the thumbnail for the expanded media goes is just blank.

This doesn’t happen when viewing the same /c on .ml https://lemmy.ml/c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

On .ml, I just get a clickable thumbnail of the video.

It’s just that one post.

On other earlier and later posts of links to streamable.com videos in the same /c, I just get the expected clickable thumbnail.

Maybe some kind of corrupted data as that particular post was transferring over?

When I asked about this on ani.social's meta /c, another user reported the auto-download request on ani.social, sopuli.xyz (the /c's home!) but not on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world

CGDCT with mahjong.

Just a generic start.

There's nothing really standing out for me except the art: Those eyes look like they take ages to draw.

The comedy bits where they're imagining things while seated around the table aren't as funny as those in say "Sabagebu!"

I was trying to create a post with the title:

"Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou Sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranaindesu ga. • My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! - Episode 1 discussion"

It let me paste this much into the title box:

"Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou Sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranaindesu ga. • My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! - Episode 1 d"

Then, when I created the post, a red dialog saying "Error: invalid_post_title" popped up in the lower left of my browser.

I suspected that the pasted title was too long, so I removed some of the text, and sure enough, I was able to create the post.

1. If it's going to automatically truncate the pasted text, it should truncate the text to an acceptable length.

2. The error message should be more specific.

Probably obvious to anyone encountering this, and an easy workaround.

Thanks for your attention devs!
