Was always a lurker on Reddit, now I’m an instance admin lol so I sort of have to comment and post often.

It feels way more a community on Lemmy though so I’m much more active than I ever was on Reddit I love it!

Yeh just fixed it, I need to find a better way of updating the wefwef site as atm, every update to the instance will break the wefwef site lol. Problem for another day

[–] tom 4 points 1 year ago

Not much to be honest, it helps take the load of wefwef’s own site and this instance should be quicker as well.

Also an advantage for me is that I added a feature in wefwef so I can approve or deny registration applications but the code hasn’t been approved in the main app yet so I wanted to deploy my own version with that in it!

Hey I've just made a post about the verification emails but could you send me a PM with the email in question please?

[–] tom 3 points 1 year ago

I'd be tempted to host it, I already host feddit.uk so I know quite a bit about hosting a decently sized lemmy instance. Not sure if it is big enough for an instance yet but if people want it I'd do it

I'm in the process of buying a flat at the moment and the solicitors are taking their time, I can't tell if that is just how it is or if it's their fault to be honest. The updates we get from them sounds like they are following up enquiries from the seller's solicitors but who knows. We were hoping to complete soon but looks like it might be another month or two before that happens.

I think for some solicitors, conveyancer is low priority as there isn't much money involved and there is no pressure to get it done quickly, which is why it can drag on.

Woo my first big contribution to the app! Looking forward to making more!

It’s working with my nord VPN I haven’t blocked anything around VPNs so not sure what’s going on here

Would you mind sharing a screenshot and possibly a console log of the issue if you can?

[–] tom 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm it might be an issue with the communities then or the way they are stored in our database. I’ll have a look and some test accounts, subscribe to those communities and see if I get the issue as well

[–] tom 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeh I think that might be best creating a new account let us know if that has fixed it

[–] tom 5 points 1 year ago

Lol I love this, until we get a banner which is more "maximalist" which encompasses all aspects of the UK, gonna use this one for the banner!

[–] tom 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Hey, that is very weird and one I can't reproduce myself unfortunately.

I think all I can do atm is wait for the full 0.18.1 release and hope that fixes it otherwise will need to dig into it further

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is link aggregator software that exists in the fediverse, meaning it connects with other “ActivityPub” software like Mastodon and other Lemmy instances. Basically, you can follow and interact with communities here on feddit.uk, on any other Lemmy instance, or even from your Mastodon account!

What is Feddit.uk

Feddit UK is a UK specific instance of Lemmy, ideal for people from the UK or are just interested in following the UK community.

This instance is hosted by me Tom, an experienced software dev based in London. I decided to host Feddit UK as I saw many instances already made for other countries and none for the UK and saw the need for a UK community on the Fediverse. To help the upkeep cost of this instance, please consider donating by buying me a coffee!
