Feddit UK

Hi so I was in my feddit account settings on browser and I enabled 2FA but didnt see a code to add to authenticator so disabled it straight away, I am now trying to log in on desktop again and I'm met with input for 2FA token.. Can this be resolved?

If I click a post from my profile, it won't load the parent comments. I then click show context but it just reloads the same.

Any ideas?

Seems like .world is where all the big communities are but I'm sure there's other instances with some cool discussions going on

JSON.parse: unexpected character

I keep getting this error code when I try to upload photos, even if I save them from paint. It happens if it's png or jpg. Can someone help me?

Anyone else having issues updating settings or profile? Pressing save doesn't do anything, but works fine on other instances for me.

Hey guys,

Sorry about the absence, have been super busy with life, other projects and the nightmare of buying a flat lol.

Instance should be updated to 0.18.3, as some of you have noticed the website has been periodically down the last few weeks (at most by half an hour at a time) will keep monitoring the uptime after this update but hopefully this partially fixes it

Curious if there is a specific update schedule when the site goes down for maintenance/when the latest releases are loaded or if it's ad-hoc?

In a lemmy.world support post https://feddit.uk/post/788935 it's noticed that some comments are not appearing here at feddit.uk.

Comments made in a community on lemmy.world not appearing on feddit.uk.

But they do show over at lemm.ee

Maybe more of a feddit.uk issue?

Any one got any thoughts?

take a look at what's available at this post on lemmy.world, accessible at https://old.lemmy.world

this is so amazing, it's like a timewarp back to the good days

sourcecode is here https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym, major thanks to @nnrx@sh.itjust.works

if it's not easily implementable, i understand

both links on this page link to https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support

I’ve just made an account here to lighten the load on lemmy.world/support my home instance. My email verification came through straight away (unlike when I previously tried to sign up a few weeks back) and I was able to join local communities without problem. But when I try and join communities on other instances I just get “subscription pending”. These are really large communities which people from here must have joined so I’m a bit confused. Is this a feddit issue or an issue with the host instances? Thanks!

In addition, if a user subscribes to a Feddit UK community the comments from before they subbed won't appear unless they're loaded directly by a user on that instance

Any chance of the feddit.uk instance hosting this along with wefwef?

So last night a XSS scripting attack was found on all Lemmy instances. See the lemmy world update here https://feddit.uk/post/453040

What this means is that hackers could inject their own "script" when any user viewed a comment/post that the hackers made. The hackers would then grab your JWT token with the script so they could impersonate that user. (And perform any actions on behalf of the user)

Luckily, it looks like I haven't been compromised so the site config should all be the same

What has been done about this

I've removed any comments or posts which included the script see here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1895

I would have removed all custom emojis as well but there was none in our DB, this may potentially mean that this site was not affected. Just in case, I've also rotated the JWT tokens so all tokens are now invalid. This means you will have to logout and log back into the instance

Shoutout to @clara@feddit.uk for messaging me about this and bringing it to my attention

Lemmy.world and some other sites are currently compromised. I just wanted to check the security arrangements here at Feddit to make sure we are not also vulnerable?

I am sure asset sizes are subject to change depending on so many factors from app instances, to theming, etc. but I thought it would be useful to have a location where we can discuss asset sizing options the ensure good looking community headers, logos, etc.

I have started by attaching this one, a desktop header. From what I can tell, the default sizing (visible area on standard desktop and mobile) are similar but there is an aspect of overflow when the dynamic resizing happens.

The attached image is 3200x1800 in full and the main 'visible' area is central at 3000x900. This means that header images should be designed with the core elements in that area. You can scale the image as required but hopefully this helps.

Big update this, this update comes with captcha being available which has now been re-enabled for sign up. This means signups are once again open (as captcha should filter out most bots).

Quite a few UI changes in this one and quite a few performance updates as well (mainly around how the database works). If anyone is interested our CPU average is around 8-10% usage and the memory usage has dropped to around 5% usage so the instance is looking pretty stable.

I'm struggling to find a particular community, audiobooks@lemmy.ml

I'm subscribe on another account not on feddit.uk but it doesn't even appear in searches on feddit.uk.

Any suggestions?

Seeing as this conversation is going on everywhere right now, what's the approach to Meta going to be here on UK? Personally I'm all for defederation as soon as possible, what does everyone else think?

Hey everyone,

I've deployed a feddit.uk specific instance of wefwef at app.feddit.uk

If you haven't heard of wefwef before, it's essentially a mobile UI which you can deploy as a PWA to your phone, the link for the actual app is here https://wefwef.app

So that we don't rely on wefwef servers, I've deployed a local version which should be faster as it runs on the same server as feddit.uk so is essentially a second UI to the regular web app as I've limited to feddit.uk only at the moment.

Thanks, Tom

Hey everyone, It seems a lot of people are having issues verifying their email when first signing up as they are not receiving the email.

This is because around 20-30% or emails sent from admin@feddit.uk are being bounced due to being marked as spam. I'm working on fixing this at the moment, (the domain is on a domain blacklist on spamhaus.org)

In the meantime, please send an email to admin@feddit.uk from the email that needs verifying and I will verify the email manually which should resolve the issue.

Thanks, Tom

Does something need to be set on the instance or is that on their side?

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried a couple of times now, and the 'Create' button on https://feddit.uk/create_community seemingly does nothing.

Hi, hopefully @tom will see this. Ive registered on feddit.uk but cant login. I get email not verified. can you please help? Thanks
