TheDude,

Looks like this decision is decided already but I figured I'd put in my input. Given this instance has an open registration policy, nothing is stopping someone from another instance to create an alternative just for voting on this instance. This individual might align and contribute positively to the fediverse and have really great ideas and contributions to discussions here. However because they use their alt account here on sh.itjust.works only for voting, their vote might get dismissed due to poor account reputation (another issue that I believe was already brought up in another post). The fediverse is meant to be a decentralized community and by forcing people to need to join this community to vote promotes centralization which I believe is the opposite of what the fediverse is trying to accomplish. I guess for now I'll hold off on casting my vote until the community determines what criteria should be considered when counting a vote.

Captchas have been enabled on this instance.

TheDude,

Something I probably missed when I first spun up this instance to be honest. Should have been enabled from day 1.

TheDude,

Captchas are enabled

TheDude,

Is there a website that is available that tracks all this information publicly?

TheDude,

Can you try clearing your browser cache and cookies? The forgot password issue is something I'm working on at the moment

TheDude,

From my understanding, the new version that should be released in the few weeks should fix a lot of these weird bugs

TheDude,

This is the way.

Btw thanks guys

Are artists and creators not welcome in this community? (sh.itjust.works)

I decided to do a bit of a dive into this platform, and while I think it is an interesting idea, I am yet to find a space on Lemmy where I am welcome. I am an artist. I have a Patreon that pays my bills and puts food on the table. Generally, I give the majority of my stuff away for free to the community, but that usually comes...

TheDude, (edited )

I agree with all of you and think artists and others alike should be able to share their work and allows other to contribute to their passion. Should we just remove the No Ads from the rules? Maybe the answer is to modify the rule. I just to make it clear that I don't want users aimlessly ad spamming the communities.

TheDude,

This is a known issue, specific to this instance that I'm working on solving. The weekend is almost here so I'll have a little more time to sort this out in the coming days.

TheDude,

Alright most of the problem was related to not having and RDNS setup for the instance IP. I've since implemented an RDNS/PTR solution for the IP however DNS being DNS, it could take anywhere from 48-72 hours before we will see it applied globally.

Beehaw defederating update - sh.itjust.works

Like many of you, I woke up this morning to discover that our instance, along with lemmy.world, had been unexpectedly added to the beehaw block list. Although this development initially caught me off guard, the administrators at beehaw made an announcement shedding light on their decision....

TheDude,

This is something I looked at as well and an option. It does require someone to volunteer their time and make the tool. Sounds like a fun project but I'm already stretched pretty thin so it would have to be someone else.

TheDude,

Hey everyone, woke up this morning with this news. This news really comes at a surprise as I have not seen or heard of any trolling coming from members of this community. I also have not been approached by their admins to see how we could collaborate. In either case, I'll be attempting to reach out to their admins and discuss a path forward together.

I'll post an update with the details in the coming days.

TheDude,

Report them. We’ll sort them out.

TheDude,

It's not so much our accent as it is the jargon in my opinion. The Quebec french speakers can use a lot jargon that may seem or come off a little hillbillyish to European french speakers.

question regarding external NSFW communities.

Hi, reddit refugee here. I saw the rule in the main post stating that this instance will not allow NSFW content for now due to the legal ramifications & moderating needs. I 100% understand and agree with that decision, however, does this mean that I (as a user registered to sh.itjust.works) cannot subscribe to, read, or post in...

TheDude,

I am no lawyer, however I do not see a problem with subscribing to NSFW communities outside of this instance. I'd go as far as saying that should you want to contribute to these external communities you can do so as long as you are not using the built in image hosting service to store your content. There are external platforms such as redgifs that could be used to store this content as long as it fit within their TOS.

TheDude,

Lemme has the ability to do some theming. If someone from the community wants to take on getting a new theme created I'll install on this instance as an theme option for everyone to use.

TheDude,

So this has been fixed. itjust.works should redirect properly to sh.itjust.works now

TheDude,

Not to throw you under the bus @this but that's not exactly how I recall it going down. Everything in your story is accurate with the exception of where the conversation happened. It happened on a Lemmy instance!. The conversation started on the lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead post. If you are indeed the same user who recommended the name you definitely get a token of recognition for coming up with it!

TheDude,

Never came across this before but its very cool!

TheDude,

Throughout my IT career when it came to troubleshooting mail delivery problems I typically always started with this website over the years some of the servers stopped working for me which lead me to start looking to create something similar but with python (and potentially incorporate it pyscript). I've only gotten about 25% done and now always I don't seem to have as much time to wire in and continue working on it but eventually I'm hoping to get something like this going again and potentially host it for the world to use.
