I got march of shamed once because I genuinely forgot, it somehow shortcircuits my brain when I need to wait for approval, thinking I've already paid and walk out after waiting for the person to come tap some buttons :|
Not super easily. It can be done by querying the postgresql dabase, but there is no built-in method to do it using the browser interface at the moment. When anyone from any instance does report them, you will see the report.
Do you have an example of a query I could use? I'm a bit rusty with databases :) with an example I can get chatgpt to build me something better
I see, occasionally I get reports from local users about something elsewhere from a 'foreign' user... which I can then delete. I assume that's not deleting from their server?
For example I get a report from a local user about a lemmy.ml user with a post in lemmy.world
I don't unfortunately, I deliberately don't log that due to some of the sensitive stuff on my own instance (we're China based)
After the bot attacks I've cleaned up and implemented some additional measures thanks to some helpful users, but I'd also like to monitor the situation in case someone from my server decides to go on a spam rampage...
Is there a way to:
- Easily get a list of comments from all my users locally and across the 'verse?
- If I purge/ban these users, is there a protocol for letting other Lemmy admins know? I assume I have no power to delete things from their instances (just my copy of their instance?)
Yup I've got them, luckily 5 or more repeating numbers in their email pretty much identified 99% of them. Would you like me to send the CSV somewhere? 27k+ bots
That's okay I found it, luckily there's a pattern here too... I dug up 27k with repeating numbers on emails which is a good start!
Huh adminer would definitely be an easier way to do this, do you have the part of the docker-compose you used with the env vars etc?
Yeah that's the issue I'm having, someone sent me a postgres command in DM earlier but it does seem to be a bit of a nuke/picking up ordinary users....
Trying to purge them and set up with Lemmy Ansible, I've disabled signups without admin approval for now.
I see a postgres container and a password but I'm not very familiar with postgres, I tried psql but can't get access
Edit: Also anyone who's de-federated with us, please reconsider. We're a small server with active admin and will get a handle on this, I promise! We had an easy process to sign up for a few days while I got my users over and forgot to turn it off
Edit2: Looking much more healthy now, I will put the commands I've used in a comment below
Yeah I started on a dinky little server and now it's massive.... mostly seems to be a memleak or something going on though that's causing OOM and a massive CPU spike. Anyone know anything? 4GB of RAM getting eaten for breakfast... just had to up it to 8
Damn, I've got to look into that myself. Mine's currently on AWS and costing me a small fortune
I just put my instance through cloudflare, it seems okay. I would guess cloudflare won't be that fussed considering it's federated/easily accessible from others.
On 0.17.4, has anyone else noticed this? The last few days the server chewed through 2GB of RAM... then yesterday it chewed through 4GB after an upgrade in about 2 days and now seems to be chewing through about 100MB/hour with no sign of stopping.
I put in a bug report but thought I'd ask if anyone else is having the issue too: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3183
You could, but the API for Reddit won't work in two weeks... and tbh I like the fact we're building something new here
I'm not on either the instance reported from or the instance reported to, I have my own instance. Why am I getting these reports/would care about them?
It's like everyone saw what Twitter did, and thought they could get away with doing the same
I could live without youtube for sure, I have more of a Reddit problem than a YouTube problem... but it seems they fixed that for me.
Mine is actually also a VPS, my electricity is too unstable to host at home :')
It's pretty light though, 2GB RAM and 2vCPUs and about 10GB of space. It shot up to 9.5GB over a few days as people added more communities, then slowed down a lot. We have ~60 users as of now
Regular Apollo still works for now, I've got the modified version on a backup iPhone 8 so let's see if it still works there after the shutdown
Well, they've said 100 requests per minute is under the free tier, since I'm the only user with my API key that should be within their limits.
I managed to get Apollo working with my own API key using a tweak and Sideloadly (works on jailed phones too)
We'll see if that continues working after 30th, if not I think I'm pretty much done with Reddit
My lemmy instance :)
I used to self-host email with email and postfix, but I gave up with the amount of spam coming my way and moved to Proton
As you can see in the screenshot, most communities I put in yesterday (except this one) have zero comments. Any idea why that would be? If I go to the instance itself I see comments
