Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialOPMto Pawb.Social Feedback@pawb.social•[RFC] Pawb.Social Service PerformanceEnglish1·2 months agoInvestigating – I’m not able to find anything obvious in our logs, and it doesn’t look like requests from Jerboa are getting rejected per se. When it occurs again, could you try to access the same content via a browser and see if a message comes up from Cloudflare?
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social Feedback@pawb.social•Issues with Voyager appEnglish4·2 months agoParadoxically, Voyager is what I use myself, so it was allowlisted! There were a ton of rules added during the DDoS, so I’ve trimmed it down a bit 😅
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social Feedback@pawb.social•Issues with Voyager appEnglish6·2 months agoHey! I apologize for the inconvenience. We’ve adjusted some of the rules after it appears they’re impacting a lot more users and were overly aggressive, I’m hoping this resolves the issue and I’m really sorry for the trouble this caused.
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social Feedback@pawb.social•Post posted twice from posting normallyEnglish1·2 months agoAppreciate this… I’m wondering if there’s some kind of race condition that’s causing the DB (or your client) to retry posting. Will investigate once I’m back from a work trip early next week!
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social Feedback@pawb.social•Does this instance respect DNP lists?English2·2 months agoGood question, and I’ve not thought about it previously other than that we would remove content if the original artist requested us to do so. Though, we don’t have a formal list of DNP content, we just expect that users post content they’re permitted to or that is already otherwise shared on other sites (like e621).
I’m not against a DNP list, but I think I’d lean more towards respecting an existing DNP like https://e621.net/wiki_pages/85. Though, if we did end up getting to the point of having a lot of DNPs that don’t appear on their list, we’d probably move to making our own.
I’ll bring this up to the rest of the team too for feedback!

Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialOPMto Pawb.Social Announcements@pawb.social•[PSA] Known Issue: Posts in NSFW CommunitiesEnglish4·3 months agoI’m not able to replicate this myself as it’s showing on both the Create Post and editing modes. I’ve cleared the site cache on Cloudflare as it could be it’s caching an old version of the UI. I’d also encourage clearing your browser cache / force refreshing.
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialOPMto Pawb.Social Announcements@pawb.social•[PSA] Known Issue: Posts in NSFW CommunitiesEnglish4·3 months agoWe’ve got a fix deployed that’ll allow the NSFW box to be toggled again for new and existing posts – Is there any chance you’d be able to facilitate that on your existing posts? We’re hoping that’ll alleviate reports and complaints in the interim while we wait for the permanent backend fix x3
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialOPMto Pawb.Social Announcements@pawb.social•[PSA] Known Issue: Posts in NSFW CommunitiesEnglish8·3 months agoUpdate, Apr 27, 2025
We’ve updated Lemmy UI to a hotfix version of 0.19.11 that re-enables the NSFW field on the Create Post form for NSFW communities. This should once again allow users to correctly mark posts explicitly with the NSFW tag.
While a permanent fix is in development by the Lemmy team, please ensure you check this NSFW toggle if you’re posting to a NSFW community.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social General Lounge@pawb.social•unable to toggle nsfw in default front end in some communitiesEnglish2·3 months agoI believe there was a change to some Lemmy communities where if the community itself is marked as “NSFW” there’s no ability to toggle it off anymore: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2887 (https://join-lemmy.org/news/2025-04-08_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.11).
If the post isn’t flagging automatically as NSFW in a NSFW community, then there may be a backend bug that needs to be reported to the Lemmy developers via GitHub.
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social General Lounge@pawb.social•Is there an issue with federation right now?English8·3 months agoUpdate: Turns out a security feature we enabled to block “AI Bots” (like ChatGPT) was blocking federation traffic… Since it’s affecting stuff right now, I’ve disabled it again until I can get time after LVFC to take a look into building a comprehensive “allow list” of different federation traffic headers.
tl;dr Give it a little bit and things should hopefully catch up with new posts, but I don’t know if Lemmy post-syncs old posts without someone searching for them on our instance.
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social General Lounge@pawb.social•Is there an issue with federation right now?English6·3 months agoRestarting the federation pods appears to have at least lowered the failure queue a little, but it’s showing that while we’ve sent things to lemmit.online (as the example), it hasn’t seen anything from them since 4/14/2025, 10:14:27 PM. So I’m presuming the next time they try to sync and send something to us it SHOULD update…
The federation state checker seems to be indicating that we’re not behind in sending them posts anymore so outgoing should be fixed, but I’m unsure how to troubleshoot incoming further. I’m wondering if there’s a bug with the latest version of Lemmy?
Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social General Lounge@pawb.social•Is there an issue with federation right now?English7·3 months agoMorning all! It does appear like we’re not getting some instances posts (you can find a list by using https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=pawb.social). I’m currently investigating and I appreciate folks poking on this :3

Crashdoom (he/him)@pawb.socialMto Pawb.Social General Lounge@pawb.social•pawb pictrs down?English2·4 months agovia here (I’m setting up an RSS feed monitor), via email (network[at]pawb.social), or with a DM message to highlight it. It seems like mentions in the original post don’t alert the mentioned person, so I only got a notice when you replied to a message from me / mentioned me in a comment. >~<;

Strangely… I was tweaking with Cloudflare rules again but I didn’t think I changed anything that should affect that… Please do let me know if it occurs again, but I’m glad it’s fixed now x3
