  • Cant find anything that would cause this in the db. Thought the dates got messed up in federation but they seem to be perfectly normal. Still pinned even if I manually change the date to a year in the past

    Im assuming something got messed up from the nodebb->lemmy federation

    Im going to remove the post as thats the only way I see to get rid of it

    I think the advantages of multiple communities outweighs the advantages of consolidating. Especially since things can be cross posted between the multiple communities easily

    No longer able to access the content is referring to the federation. And the difficult to move off is referring to for example communities that have been attempting to get traction to move off of lemmy.ml

    Not posting in the community doesn’t mean people there don’t interact with it. I have beehaw as an example on hand but im sure there’s other federation examples

    I think its the kind of subject matter that fits programming.dev well and relying on outside instances for programming content with no mirror on our own site makes us too reliant on those other instances if anything happens in the future (e.g. extreme case but if that instance goes down. Lemmy handles it terribly since the community still exists as a ghost community with no federation but still viewable)

    With similar logic we have a lot of the same communities as lemmy.ml communities including programmer_humor, opensource, etc. To give people an alternative spot to the lemmy.ml communities and so that we aren’t overly reliant on other infrastructure we can’t control within our instances subject matter

    We typically dont close communities on programming.dev since then theres only one option for things

    Ends up having things like people who use the community no longer being able to access the content and being difficult for the community to move off of it if something happens

    e.g. beehaw.org is defederated from sh.itjust.works so any beehaw users wouldnt be able to use the community if the programming.dev one is closed












  • We just added a couple more people to have server access and ideally that situation wont happen again

    That problem specifially could only be reproduced on the main server so fixes couldnt be tested without taking the entire site down and at some point after the 0.19.5 upgrade (when the issue happened) it became too late to roll the server back since there was too many activities that came in but if it happens again after an upgrade we would roll back pretty much instantly)

    dbzer0 does seem like a better option for general privacy discussion though
