What's the way to load a foreign community again? I've been trying to load /c/fediverse@lemmy.world but I keep getting a 404: couldnt_find_community error message. Is it because of version mismatch or something?
I'm trying to follow advice of moving my subscriptions from my lemmy.world account to one on a smaller instance (i.e. this one) but I can't do that if I can't load those communities here.
here are the valid syntax for searches, quoted from the docs:
[!main@lemmy.ml](/c/main@lemmy.ml) (Community)@nutomic@lemmy.ml (User)https://lemmy.ml/c/programming (Community)https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic (User)https://lemmy.ml/post/123 (Post)https://lemmy.ml/comment/321 (Comment)as for the method of searching, take a look at the guide written by dcx.
definitely used the correct syntax in the search box. I'm getting no results for the exact community@instance form but I get results from other instances if I drop the @instance part.
edit: the guide asked me to wait. I've been waiting for days.
okay, I just tried searching for [!fediverse@lemmy.world](/c/fediverse@lemmy.world) myself, and it doesn't work, so very likely the problem is due to either incompatible server versions, or lemmy.world is still overloaded at the moment (or a 3rd possibility, something we all don't hope for…we could be banned).
edit: monyet.cc is still under "linked instances" and not "blocked instances" on this page, so definitely not banned. it's most likely due to server version incompatibility then, lemmy.world has probably taken some new measures to cope with its high user load that is not compatible with lemmy 0.17.4 that we are still using.
so, sad to say, the answer is still, to wait. hopefully, everything will be fixed soon.
monyet.cc couldn't upgrade to the current 0.18.0 because captcha support was removed, and we need that to deal with the spambots.
the next version 0.18.1 is being worked on as we speak, but the developers still need some time to make sure it is ready.
captcha support is definitely back in 0.18.1, so monyet.cc will surely upgrade once it is officially released.
the question now becomes, how long do we wait for that? quite a number of other instances (including lemmy.world) have already jumped onto a 0.18.1 pre-release, and I think dcx has mentioned he'll discuss with the rest of the admin team and decide whether monyet.cc will follow this, if 0.18.1 is still not officially released by the end of the week.
edit: I managed to get https://monyet.cc/c/fediverse@lemmy.world working by searching for a post (specifically https://lemmy.world/post/1022101) from that community, instead of the community itself.
so the problem may not be server version mismatch after all, but just normal rate limiting on the part of lemmy.world.
whatever it is, enjoy having the fediverse community finally working (remember to subscribe to it), and try out this trick of searching for a post when the community does not work.
Possible issue:
One of the communities in my subscriptions are not getting "synced", i.e. clicking on the community doesn't show any feed. The community is !cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works . The other communities on sh.itjust.works work fine.
Is the pictrs backend down? I can't seem to upload any images.
Food communities: I think three different people have suggested this now. I think this is really great. But which works best?
My suspicion is the first one hmm. Also, any better name ideas than !makan?
Hmm, maybe have people just use tag like [Today i ate], [today i cooked/baked], and [reco] in front of their title? And make it all under Makan or Food. (i think english would be better in case visitor from other instances wanna find malaysian food recommendation)
Hmm just to share an idea while briefly visiting. What do you think of having one thread per day for sharing "today I ate's"?
Just sharing the idea btw, super welcome to not do this. Annnd I'm out, still in crunch. (More time this weekend)
Edit: Oh and thanks so much for setting up the sub!!
Aight imma steal this idea 🙈
I feel like [today I made] would be a good catch all phrase! today i cooked bread would sound funny xD but just a minor thing tbh
Yalor, but i do feels like it's just guideline lah, [i cooked] for culinary and [i baked] for pastries. But [i made] also can haha, i'll add it to the guideline later
