not sure about the yunohost setup, but this sounds a bit like you may be running an old pict-rs version that had a bug that lead to temporary files not being cleaned up. especially newer versions will clean up the temp folders on startup even if some old stuff was left behind previously. which version of pict-rs are you running?

seems like just nobody thought of closing it before, it was already implemented.

this is most likely the case, pict-rs headers allow caching basically forever and don’t include revalidation. i’ll bring this up with the pict-rs dev about changing the default or adding a config option for this.

something like s-maxage should do the job, though it’d probably be up to the instance operator to decide on a sane value for that, as it will always be a tradeoff.

ideally, lemmy would have a mechanism for cache purging, but i suspect that this might be something that people will have to implement themselves using the 1.0 plugin system at some point, as it’s probably not going to become core functionality to support e.g. cloudflare cache purging.

edit: it seems that the 1 year cache is already an override by aussie.zone - pict-rs only sets a 7 day max-age, which is passed on by lemmy as can be seen e.g. on lemmy.ml, which isn’t behind cloudflare, or on progamming.dev, which is behind cloudflare but doesn’t seem to be overriding it.

the unban itself federates, but on community bans the user gets unsubscribed from the communities, which deletes the associated subscription in the db.

skimming over the code it seems to be only happening in case of community bans (including the ones derived from instance bans on 0.19), but it should also remove your local subscription on your own instance. as long as that federates it should still be picked up by lemmy-federate eventually, as your local instance should also have removed that when receiving the community ban.

it might be debatable whether subscriptions should get removed with community bans for public communities, but overall the code logic seems to be there. i haven’t tested this end to end yet.

instance bans currently generally don’t federate and won’t show in the modlog of your home instance, but recent lemmy versions are automatically issuing community bans for all communities on that instance that you participated in, which allows you to at least see this in some cases indirectly.

1.0 will federate instance bans, but i haven’t looked at the implementation in detail yet and i’m not sure if this is already implemented to be shown in the modlog.

I didn’t mean only showing Anubis to unauthenticated users; this was in response to OP mentioning to add this before posting or commenting, which would be the opposite of removing it for authenticated users.

slrpnk.net has some first hand experience for this, as @poVoq@slrpnk.net already deployed anubis in front of lemmy-ui.

it wouldn’t be that complicated to add it to lemmy-ansible if people are interested in having the option.

i don’t see the argument for having this before user interaction though; the main goal of this is to fight malicious crawlers. for authenticated users, solutions like this are completely unnecessary as these can simply and much more efficiently be addressed through rate limits without putting users on low end hardware at a disadvantage and contributing to global warming.

verification emails are usually sent immediately. if there are delays you should check your junk folder, and if it’s not there it probably won’t arrive anymore. depending on the instance you signed up on there may be alternative methods to reach out to the instance admins about this. note that private messages from mastodon to lemmy do not work unfortunately.

this isn’t true. it was incorrectly stated in the upgrade guide but has been removed a while ago. it was supposed to be a recommendation due to some issues with postgres 15. there is no postgres upgrade required between 0.19 releases.

account names cannot be changed.

you can only change your display name, which is available in the settings.

whether display names or usernames are shown depends on the interface/client and user settings where available.

the only way to change the username is to create a new account.

it seems to have become more frequent recently.

i’ve been experiencing the same on firefox and i’ve also heard other people report the same on firefox, which happened around the time of the firefox 129 release. i didn’t see anything noteworthy in the release notes though that’d explain this. it seems like it might be related to enhanced tracking protection and cookie isolation.

this is a lemm.ee limitation, not a Lemmy limitation, so this is the wrong community.

if you look at the instance sidebar at https://lemm.ee/ you can see that it’s 4 weeks.

Retaining old content has value

this 100%. this is exactly why i wouldn’t recommend any communities to be removed if there is still content in there, worst case just lock it.

cleaning up communities doesn’t make lemmy more active either. it may help to make active communities stand out more against inactive ones though.

cleaning up dead communities isn’t a great experience as it is today.

admins could purge communities, but this can cause unexpected breakages with other activitypub software that is more strict about cryptographic verification, as purging a community erases all information about it from the local instance, including the cryptographic private key. purging a community also only removes it on the local instance, so other instances would still have a cached (although possibly marked as deleted) copy of it. this would be the only method that frees up the name to allow creating a new community under the same name later on. locally this would also remove all posts and comments associated in that community, but other instances may think that they have users subscribed to the community and may still have posts and comments in there. this also means if a new community is created with the same name again, the local instance will still not know about older posts, but users on other instances might see them still, and the local moderator might be unable to interact with them at all, e.g. to potentially remove old problematic content.

the next option is removing a community as (instance-)moderator action. this will only mark the community as removed without further impact. regular users won’t be able to access the community on the local or any other instance anymore, but its contents are preserved in case it gets restored at a later point in time. the name is not released and there isn’t even an error message shown when trying to create a new community with the same name.

another option could be to “take over” the community and delete it, which is the act of the top community mod deleting the community (not a moderation action). in this case only the same top community moderator can restore it. this behaves mostly the same as removing it.

none of these options are good to use. imo purging should be avoided in any case, and the other options both require admin intervention to release a community later on and have no user feedback in lemmy-ui at this time, at least on 0.19.5.

for communities entirely without posts it is probably ok to just remove them and restore and transfer them if someone requests them. for communities with content the next best thing might be locking the community, potentially locking all posts if it’s just a small number, to prevent unmoderated new content in that community, and put up a pinned post asking people to reach out if they want to take over the community. otherwise, if the community was removed or deleted, all the posts and comments within them would also be taken down with the community.

for sure, but they’re neither mentioned on https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html nor on the linked CommonMark tutorial.

It’s not even just that. It seems that the extra @ acts as a separator, so you can’t even autocomplete e.g. @threelonmusketeers@sh as that’ll try to autocomplete @sh instead of taking the instance domain as part of the mention.

I’ve raised a GitHub issue for this now: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2652

on firefox, if i type @gedal and click or press tab once it replaces the text with [@gedaliyah@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/gedaliyah) . the behavior is the same whether i hit tab, enter or click the text.

just as great as lemmy-ui

it does, but only if you use the autocomplete feature. it’s also a bit delayed without any indicator that it’s loading.

if you type @gedal and wait a moment it’ll load @gedaliyah@lemmy.world to be selected:
