These sorts currently don't work on the profile view; and common sorting for multiple types is one of the features upcoming in 1.0.0

This doesn't work like a Sort type, but more like a Limit type. I would expect it to sort by time.

Yes, that's basically exactly how it works. It's supposed to show you “the top posts in the last hour”, so I think sorting by score does make sense here.

(In fact, the time range is actually being separated from the “top” sort type in lemmy 1.0.0, so it should be more intuitive then. There'll just be a “top” sort order, alongside a filter for post time.)

It doesn't work on "Overview" or "Comments", only if I limit to "Posts". So yes, it works on posts, but only if no comments are involved by overview.

Yup. That part definitely looks like a bug.

I see, its sorted indeed. But it makes no sense to sort by score, if I change the Sort type to Top Hour. This doesn't work like a Sort type, but more like a Limit type. I would expect it to sort by time.

It doesn't work on "Overview" or "Comments", only if I limit to "Posts". So yes, it works on posts, but only if no comments are involved by Overview. Clearly this is broken. I also noticed this since months and thought I didn't understood it, then forgot about it. Now that I wanted to find a specific reply from me, I encountered this issue again.

I have noticed this before. The time range works on the user's posts, but not on comments.

And nothing is sorted.

It is sorted by score.

Makes sense, that was actually the first thing I tried, looking through all of the 'Removing Posts' on https://lemmy.world/modlog since the time of my comment (there aren't actually a huge number of them), but the post isn't there.

I just noticed that I actually do have a way to see who the user was though, since the post was still open in another browser window I forgot about. Filtering by user shows they got banned and some comments removed which does clarify to me what happened, but the removed post still doesn't appear in the list which is strange. I guess it's possible it was deleted by the user rather than removed by a mod.

You could try to Filter by Action for "Removing Posts", and then look for how many ago the post probably have been removed. Generally speaking, using these filters seem to show more then the general unfiltered list of Modlog. Not sure if that is actually true, but I feel like whenever checking for, some logs only appear when using such filter.

Unfortunately I don't know what user made the post, otherwise I'd try that

I've noticed this too. Sometimes you have to search for the users name in the Modlog to find it, otherwise it won't get listed. But I had cases where I couldn't find it either.

Three possible reasons, in order of frequency:

1. When someone is banned with “Remove Content,” only the ban shows up in the modlog, not the post/comment removals. I’m not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior.
2. Sometimes a modlog entry fails to federate to your instance. This sometimes happens with posts & comments as well. Federation is “best effort,” and can fail for a variety of reasons.
3. Occasionally, especially egregious content, like CSA material, is “purged” rather than removed. No record of the post/comment remains. I think these still show up in the modlog as “a post/comment was purged” (or something similar), but without any of the content, because it was too offensive even for the modlog.

There was a post fairly recently that I replied to even though the poster was banned. Pretty sure they were effectively peddling soft-porn. In any case, there was no mod action against me, but the whole post did go away later. So it probably has nothing to do with you if there is nothing in the modlog tied to your id.

in retrospect, that was not a great decision. i did happen to stumble upon the bug myself, but it wasn't until your initial comment (and subsequently seeing someone discussing it in the depths of another thread) that i realized it was already well known and being used intentionally by several people, but by that point i'd already reported it and nutomic had already submitted a PR with a patch.

had i spent a few minutes actually thinking about the potential implications rather than rushing to report a bug, i would've realized that reporting it was mainly just an asshole move on my part. i've reset my display name to be within the original limits as the only form of atonement i can really do.

sorry about that :/

Gross, it was already going away in 1.0.0 but you wanted to ruin it for everyone else early?

It would require too many server resources for lemmy instances to become video hosting services, but you can use torrents:

$60/month on a single Lemmy instance is actually quite good, though. Especially given that there are so many Lemmy instances to choose from.

Aw hell yeah!

I believe that feature is coming in Lemmy v1.0

We could have a long conversation potential models for funding this, but I believe that until today the current audience prefers to reject economic reality and still believes that all work should be volunteer-based. Of course I disagree, but the only strong argument that I can make so far is that Communick has been running for almost 8 years and has outlived the overwhelming majority of "community-funded" instances out there.

humanity defining initiatives like the fediverse subverting US tech oligarchy might be a decent cause to toss a few dollars at every month.

this is how i see it and i do mine on an annual basis so that i don't think about it like i used to do with my netflix subscription.

You're comparing a for-profit endeavor with something that isn't meant to be profit driven. Apart from that, what "profit" do the Lemmy devs make? They aren't making anywhere near market rate for the skill set they provide.

It’s a great idea, but I believe the majority of users will not opt in or donate less than the value they derive from the service.

Radiohead in the late naughts released an album as “pay what you want” on their site and only 60% paid anything with the average price being paid of only $2.26. An album has always been closer to $20 in my mind so they took a risk and got pennies on the dollar. It was still profitable and they have adoring fans that would likely support them regardless so it’s probably why it’s so “high” compared to other things like applications.

Just food for thought. Personally, if I were to donate to Lemmy id be more inclined to donate to the devs than the admins, we only have finite dollars to spend after all. But I think the admins shouldn’t be left holding the hosting costs without some means to break-even. Maybe Lemmy devs could like profit-share with larger instances? But the charity system is all predicated on people opening their wallets/hearts to the cause. Tangible benefits is an easier sell to most users, and very popular revenue stream.

Thank you!

I think what you’re doing is valuable. This thread is trying to find out if there’s a better way than just soliciting donations, which per some of my comments I note that people are very hesitant to pay for something they can go elsewhere is “free”.

The value proposition is there for Communick, and I wish you luck. But having universal revenue stream through Lemmy itself, like instance based awards (or some sort of additional flair or features for a subscribed user) could be a carrot-on-the-stick to generate a more sticky revenue stream imo

It's clearly a bug. Consider this a signal that I still hand-roll my CSS instead of just using clankers to vibe-code around.

Where is this hosted?

Germany

By whom?

Servers are from Hetzner. My company (MushroomLabs, LLC) is registered in the USA because I used to live there before moving to Germany. I've checked into creating a proper GmbH but revenue so far is so modest that it has not justified the effort.

How can we trust them if they don’t give us means to vet them?

For the services that are end-to-end encrypted, there is no need to trust me. For the social media services, by definition your data is public and sent to other servers.

A tabular matrix of E2E encrypted systems they provide would be more transparent.

This table would have only two entries: Matrix and XMPP.

Like Steve explained. The messaging protocols are e2ee, the Social Web/Fediverse services are all public by its own nature. There is no such thing as Private Social Network.

I will look into changing the wording on the front-page to make this more clear.

Just check instances to see if they have donations.

Another thing that would help is if there was a way to link to a post/comment that wasn't an https URL. E.g., you can link to a community like ! community@instance and when anybody clicks it, they'll go to their instance's view of the community, but when you link a post it's like https://instance/post/whatever so it navigates you away from your home instance. This is just in relation to the "seeing dead links" aspect. Because even when an instance goes offline, other instances will still have copies of the posts from it.

Very intuitive 🙄
