Someone made a post that is at least irrelevant to [email protected] and is asking people to pay money for their ebook, which would be considered unsolicited advertising, i.e. spam.

edit: If you want to appoint me as mod, that's fine, then I'll take care of it.

Sorry if this is not the right community for the question - this was the first one that came to my mind. I'm just wondering if I'm misinterpreting the meaning of the word 'local' in this context; or this is somehow pretty normal and due to the algorithm (in which case I'd like to know this algorithm a little more); or maybe because it's a bug.

UPDATE: I just reloaded the site, thinking I might have just pressed 'next' one too many times, making the algorithm run out of ideas. At the moment I don't see any more Evanston content, however, this has happened several times before, this is why I decided to write here, because it was the 4th/5th time already.

I hope, this is the right place to ask:

I have the sub [email protected]. Now, in my profile, there are two of them; the former and also [email protected] (deleted by creator), which is empty, and I am not even a member, yet I am the moderator.

Might as well be my mistake, but I never noticed it before, so I guess it's a new thing?

Maybe the empty sub could be purged?

How can I turn off "Reply from $user" emails from [email protected]?

They can get annoying when a post gets popular and receives a lot of replies.

[email protected]

Mod hasn't posted in a year.

I curate/mod [email protected], so I have a modicum of experience with Lemmy. :)

I have disabled my VPN, and the image I'm upoading is a photo taken with my iPhone of a Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card. I would post the iCloud link but it has my name in it.

I appreciate that you're trying to prevent spam, but if it's at the cost of normal users not being able to do normal things, then you've lost the battle (and will lose users) and the spammers/scammers have won. Thank you.

Porn is up right now with trolls and ~50 down votes in 2 posts. I don't recognize any of the mods. I don't care to take over, but I will catch any flags in these off hours as I stay up late most of the time in California stretching into this time of day when peak evening hours are over the empty Pacific.

Hello friends, I'd like to take over as the mod for [email protected] since the current mod seems to be inactive - there have been no comments, posts, or mod actions in two years from the current mod, @[email protected].

What happened there?

I used to upload images just fine when creating posts, but now I get an infinite loading spinner. Any help would be appreciated!

• I'm using the website.
• I tried it on LibreWolf (where it previously worked), Firefox, and Ungoogled Chromium. Same results on all three.
• I tried using my phone's mobile data hotspot in case my home network was the issue. No change.

Just noticed this a week or so ago. When I try to scroll the feed on lemmy.world, my page will halt and go even though I'm scrolling consistently on my trackpad. No other website has this problem to my knowledge.

Info: Framework 13 AMD laptop 32 gigs memory Firefox 136.0.1 64-bit

Any ideas? It's really irritating.

Please bear in mind I'm old, so will need it ELI5

There are a lot of articles posted from sourced I consider dubious so I wonder if there's a way to hide those.

I tried, but when I clicked create, it didn't proceed or give an error message, more details below.

I'm looking to create a new community, so i clicked on the 'Create Community' button on the top.

I entered in a community name (all lowercase, no spaces) and then a display name.

I added a short description and selected english.

I clicked create and got a hourglass like icon for about a second and then nothing. A new page didnt appear, i checked my profile and cannot see the new community name.

I checked a post a few hours ago in Lemmy World support and someone else is having trouble.

Ive also tried on two devices, desktop & mobile.

p.s. on mobile there is a issue that could result in butting heads where if you hover over the create community textbox it gives text of 'lowercase, underscores and no spaces' but these constrains are not listed in the ? next to Create community. When i was on mobile i wasnt able to get the hovertext and if it was my first time creating a community, i may not have been able to see this info.

Thanks.

Hi! I was wondering if there is a limit of communities I can create, I have created 3, wanted to create want more but I am unable to do so. And If someone is wondering yes, I read the start guide and the 3 communities I have created didn't exist before, well one already exists but it has been inactive for 2 years, so I decided to go ahead anyway!

I was banned from 196. Fine. I'd like to block the community from my feed. The button is replaced by the notice that I've been banned.

• I have been posting to [email protected] for a couple weeks and realized the mod isn’t active
  • the mod hasn’t posted anywhere in a couple years: https://lemmy.world/u/aessedai
  • the mod apparently never made any mod actions: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=426700

• I have been told that the mod hasn’t replied to direct messages. Sergio has now informed me of that.)
  

• therefore I would like to be a moderator

Doesn't look like there's any mods currently.

Lemmy world does not support streaming, can we get this fixed?
