Aww man, no auto-play of gifs? OK…

!social@links.dartboard.social

Searched for that 👆 and checked the logs… timeout issue…

Thank you for helping me try to figure this out! I’ve tried full and shortcode but don’t get any results.

I’ve searched for communities here on lemmy.ml I know exist via shortcode but not getting any results.

https://hakbox.social

Please let me know if it isn’t working. My block & allow lists are empty.

Will do!

I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.

Makes sense. I wonder how I can reset my password though? The link to reset doesn’t work in any browsers for me. Was my user perhaps banned? Would be slashzero@beehaw.org

Thanks!

I think this is related to my initial signup getting denied and no email notifications being sent out in that scenario. There is a post on beehaw looking for devs to have a look at the code to figure out the issue, but based on what I read in GitHub, it sounds like if an admin denies a signup, the email doesn’t get sent, and then the user is in a weird locked state where they can’t signup again, and the admins can’t modify the user.

tried the big three (browsers), no go.

Yes, I saw the post on that, and given I am a software developer thought maybe I’d take a look, but figured someone else must be looking by now, hopefully.

Yes, but I tried to sign up a few times and let iOS set a “strong password” for me each time so unless there is some way to reset the password…

Yep… login just spins forever. The forgot password link doesn’t do anything.

Man… I really wish my signup on beehaw.org would get approved. I wonder if it has something to do with emails not going out?

Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

It depends. If I know I’ll be picking it up to play again from where I left off in a few hours, I will put it to sleep. But if I’m done for the day, I will shut it down.

I’ve had some issues getting it to turn on from sleep mode though, so tend to shut it down more than put it to sleep.

Time will tell. Given Reddit’s behavior recently, alternatives like lemmy are bound to see a spike in users. Just keep in mind that more users doesn’t necessarily mean good content.

I haven’t heard anything either. They are probably slammed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can still subscribe to and post to their communities from here. You don’t actually need a user on beehaw.org

Open the hamburger menu, then click the search icon and put !gaming@beehaw.org in the search box and click search. You’ll then be able to look at that community from lemmy.ml, and in the sidebar you can subscribe. You can also up and downvote, comment, etc.

Replace gaming with whatever community you are trying to join. Also beehaw.org is just an example. You can “join” any instance that isn’t currently blocked by lemmy.ml AFAIK.

I’ve only been here a day or so, but having to search for the community doesn’t seem that bad? It’s almost exactly like searching for a subreddit to join.

/r/subreddit turns into !community@address, like !gaming@beehaw.org

And once you are on that community you can open the sidebar and subscribe (join in Reddit terms).

Well, my understanding is your user exists on whatever instance you signed up on. You could technically create users on every single instance, but that is not necessary. You only need one user to exist somewhere, and then you can subscribe to, and post to communities on other instances.

For example: from lemmy.ml, if you search for !gaming@beehaw.org you can then open the sidebar and subscribe to, and post to, the gaming community on beehaw.org with your lemmy.ml user.

!gaming@beehaw.org is not the same community as !gaming@lemmy.ml
