    Hey, thanks for the heads up! In the first thread, is it working again for you? Seems to be working again for me now, but we definitely got timed out a few times yesterday on a few sites, so I am keeping an eye on it.

    On the second link, I’m not sure what you mean sorry. I can maximise the thumbnail in the post on the default UI (are you using an app?). There might be some weirdness taking place with a reddthat image on ani.social post being proxied to us! But it seems OK from my end - are you able to screenshot what the issue is for you?

    Thanks, I appreciate the report :)



  • I would counter and suggest that Lemmy implements a “default block” system that admins can set on their instance, i.e. the 3 you’ve mentioned, plus any others they want. When the account is created, the default blocks are applied (either instance or communities or ideally flexibility to add both).

    Users can then choose to unblock these if they want to engage with that content without moving instance.

    While portability is kind of a feature of the lemmyverse, your posts don’t come with you so likely people wouldn’t want to move off the “default” instance, which would create another problem with centralized instances.

    Thank you for the points and the insight - I do agree with what you’re saying, and I’ll bear that in mind. My absolute priority is to build an admin team that compliment the ethos of the site, and in that vein to continue on with how we currently run it.

    Unfortunately Lemmy doesn’t allow us to split the SysAdmin from the site moderation stuff, which would be on my wishlist for the future of development, but our back-end stuff is certainly structured like that.

    However, I do need to look to the future and make sure there is sufficient technical skill if I were to be hit by a bus tomorrow, and so it is something I need to weigh up.

    One of things I’d like to do is build/train a level of redundancy into the admin team, so that if one person leaves or cannot continue for whatever reason, there is someone who can instead step in to fill the gap. Like you’ve highlighted, some teams can become too reliant on one person for their skills and I don’t want to end up in that position in the long term.

    Unlike some other servers, we’re looking for people that support the current community culture and uphold the rules, and not instead change the rules to fit people 😊
