ah, that makes sense. anaustralianphotographersnotesbook is 34 characters and the limit is at 26 currently.

I believe some alternative UIs/mobile apps have this feature but it's not available in the default Lemmy interface.

I believe this was due to rate limits being misconfigured. Should be fixed now.

we all do this in our spare time. if we had set working hours then it would be easy to do so, but even then I don't think a daily maintenance window would be necessary when we don't changes that frequently.

we believed this change to be doable without downtime, otherwise we would've announced it ahead of time.

this change is important for our anti spam measures, especially if we tune it to be more aggressive, which might increase the false positive rate, it is important for us to be able to distinguish removed pms from user deleted pms in case we need to restore them at a later point.

due to that it's a somewhat urgent change that was fit in where we had spare time available to allow us to continue improving our efforts to combat pm spam effectively.

(mobile) apps could do this, but I don't think browser based apps would be able to. the generation of YouTube thumbnails works by requesting the html content of the YouTube page and then extracting a metadata component from it, where YouTube provides the actual preview image as a link. browsers set restrictions on how you can interact with other websites for security reasons and I dint think this would be allowed there.

manually this is of course doable, but it's rather cumbersome.

yeah, the actual issue was the replaceable schema being applied, which starts with

DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS r CASCADE;
CREATE SCHEMA r; 

and then continues here and here

we're aware of this issue and already looking into it

it was just the purges and the emails being broken at the time. once we discovered the breakage we immediately started working on fixing it. the problem was that we initially missed that it broke.

Hello @[email protected],

our registration application system is completely automated and we're making it very clear on our signup page what text you need to provide in order for your application to be approved.

Additionally, you should have received an email about your registration being rejected within a minute of verifying your email. Unfortunately your application fell within a window of these notifications being broken on our end, as we had to fix some stuff following our recent Lemmy update. Other users will generally receive this notification when their application is rejected.

As you explained why you'd want to sign up on lemmy.world rather than entering the required text your application had been denied. Our application processing system is also purging accounts from the database when the application gets rejected, so the username is available again and you'll be able to sign up again with the same name.

the community [email protected] only allows posts without a language set (aka undetermined).

this is a community setting.

i don't think you have any understanding of what ech is.

regardless, we didn't do any changes to images today.

there was an issue with image uploads, that should be fixed now.
