I use Firefox and while on the phone I use different apps and set my preferred font, I am not able to find the place to change the font for the web interface.

The default font appears very blurry to me compared to other websites.

The community has only one post and the user is not active.

I made a post earlier this week, which was met with an aggressive hostile witch hunter who apparently has nothing better to do then just try to insinuate flaming / witch hunting towards me because they don't like what they're reading.

This is possibly the third time I’ve dealt with a super, aggressively toxic person who comes in and writes a huge, massively long off-topic rant on one of my posts… and what’s the entire basis of it? Witch hunting. Not responding to the topic or the discussion post, just writing a big wall-length post of “this person bad, pls upvote and shame”. He alleges I’ve used AI to generate my posts or some of my writing, which is absurd and ridiculous, everything I say is written by me, an actual human like tf? But even if he suspected it, why does he have to go on a huge, massive rant and throw it out there, like what does this add to the community?

We have to really think about how we want our community to act going forward, because this raises a huge concern. AI is not going anywhere, it’s the future of humanity basically. Students are using it in college or high school, many getting accused falseley of using it. So having people witch hunt like the Salem witch trials “HES AN AI!” on posts is just absurd, it’s baffling. But more importantly, the toxicity. This is what inevitably killed reddit too. Someone with an ego so incredibly fragile they had to resort to reviewing someone’s entire post history, and then comment that in a post just to… make them feel bad? Shame them? like seriously? It undermines the entire purpose of Lemmy or any other discussion board. To discuss things. They can’t be bothered to actually discuss the point, they just resort to insults. Unbelievable.

I just made a post copy-pasting images from another tab. All jpegs became pngs, for example 1.3MB became 6.4MB.

If I save the image first, then upload to Lemmy, it stays as a jpeg. What causes the pointless converting when copy-pasting? Can it be stopped from happening?

I'm trying to understand how safe it is to use an account on lemmy.world to post dissenting opinions regarding the U.S. government. I have three questions:

1. If a subpoena is issued for IP records for a user or their comments, will all historical IP data be available to provide?
2. Is there a time limit on how long IP records are kept?
3. When a user deletes their account on lemmy.world, are their comments and/or IP records also deleted?

Asking for a friend...

I have moved instances since Lemmy world is taking way too long to load pages and the thumbnails and images are even more delayed. I am making this post in case the admins are not aware. But my problem was solved by moving.

Clicking on the first two trending communities revealed a single post and a few comments. What makes it being listed as "trending"? or does it also just show new communities?

I generally use Lemmy through my phone browser: safari on iPhone. Starting a few weeks ago. I can no longer get to the primary url. When I try, the progress bar stops partway through, I get a long delay and eventually see “a problem repeatedly occurred on https://lemmy.world”.

I assumed there was some sort of update and was patient but it doesn’t appear to be getting fixed

As a workaround, I’ve been using https://old.lemmy.world

Is this a known problem or can someone help look into this?

It’s currently moderated by a permanently banned user.

Would it be possible to have that added as a method of sorting posts on Lemmy? Instead of including votes, or just the most recent comments, "Active" and "Hot" could also include simply what's being looked at even if nobody is actually interacting with it in any other way. Actually kinda baffled why this is already a thing on SM.

Also I wasn't sure where to really post this, which is why it's here.

The current solitary mod haven't been active on Lemmy.World since February, 2024.

Thank you!

Hi, could I request to moderate the animal_crossing community? The admin doesn't seem to be active, I sent a message 3 weeks ago and it got no response.

Thank you!

Without having to block the user or community.

If so, how? If not, is it a planned feature?

Hello, I need to remove a user from the moderation of my community, but I can't find a button to do this. I went to a post they made, clicked on the three dots, and the only options I got are: create report, block user, lock and feature in community.

Just wondering when do you think it'll be possible to upgrade Lemmy.world to 0.19.5. Just curious since I know that 0.19.5 comes with many nice improvements including the ability to delete your own image uploads. As well as many bug fixes.

Seems like my VPN has been targeted for blocking by this instance which I appreciate is a security thing and prevents BS accounts from taking over the platform.

However I hold a dedicated IP with said VPN, so is it possible to unblock just my dedicated IP?
