Between 19:45 UTC and 19:50 UTC, there was a mistake in how information was stored temporarily (cached) on Beehaw. This mistake could have allowed some people to see and use other people's accounts without permission....
Is this a mistake that's easy to do for an inexperienced instance admin or just a consequence of too much fiddling and shouldn't be an issue for other instances?
i am unsure as to how i discovered this specific Lemmy instance, however i think it is cute and rules that there is now a minor furry instance in the greater Lemmy universe. the mark of a truly successful, good social website is when furries begin to adopt it, so this is a good sign for the longevity of Lemmy
Hi there fellow kbin users! I am very new to the platform and notice something quite strange going on: posts and comments have loads more favorites than upvotes. To me, if I like a post and want other people to see it, then I should upvote it, right? Why are people favoriting more than upvoting?
Lemmy and Mastodon can talk to each other, not fully but especially Mastodon can see and write to Lemmy communities (although posts are ordered by publishing date since it can't understand upvotes). What the icon does is show you a comment or post on the original instance it was sent from.
If a Mastodon user sends a comment to Lemmy that icon will link to the same post but as seen on the original instance it was sent from.
I don't know how I never stumbled upon Lemmy before, I've been looking for a worthwhile alternative to Reddit for over a year now. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough!
