you can't use lemmy PMs while you're banned from the instance.
appeals can generally be made in any way that will reach our team; email addresses are listed in the instance sidebar and community sidebar at https://lemmy.world/c/support.
the domain you posted a link to was in our automod blacklist due to previously being used by spam bots.
upon review it appears that this domain serves user generated content by different users that can be determined in the URL path. in those cases we typically only ban those users rather than the entire site if it's not overly spammy.
we also usually review automod actions quickly, although in this specific case we must have missed this, as we had a lot of other true spam removals in the last days.
you have been unbanned from LW and your post has been restored.
as far as I can tell you had previously been banned from the community, but it seems that the modlog entry for that had not been created due to a bug in lemmy.
i can see that a moderator has since removed the community ban and i believe you should be able to comment there now.
hi, welcome to your new moderator position :)
hi, welcome to your new moderator position :)
ruud isn't and hasn't for a long time been involved in LW moderation at all. the last moderation type site admin action taken by ruud was september 2023. all LW site moderation is done by the LW site admin team and to some extent our community team.
the LW team operates more or less independently from the rest of the instances we have at FHF. some topics are discussed in the wider circle of moderators across instances (same role, just different terminology depending on the software) but decisions are generally still on the LW site admin team.
I'm not entirely sure about the behavior on 0.19.3.
on 0.19.4, the behavior was changed to use the users browser languages: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4435
another PR was merged recently to add all site languages for users, but this doesn't seem to have been backported to the 0.19 branch yet. i'll put it on my list to consider for an LW backport though once we get the larger update to 0.19.8-ish done
fyi @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
once it's ready.
this post didn't follow our usual process for announcements/changes and lately there have been several other events that required a lot of our attention as well.
we'd love to have posted an update on this topic a week ago already but we haven't finished that within the team yet.
only mostly accurately for local users, for remote users we obviously can't see that.
as we have 15 days of log retention for this, i can tell you that we've had about 25.7k requests with auth tokens with a success status over the last 15 days, 23.1k over 7d and 17.9k over 24h.
Lemmy currently only counts users that posted, commented or voted as active users, so the difference is just people who voted but didn't post or comment. there are certainly quite a few more users lurking that aren't included in these stats.

Sure, the same applies to any other lemmy-internal contact method though such as posting to [email protected] or sending a pm to @[email protected].
Our automod doesn't currently inform people that they're banned or how they'd appeal that though. We usually review automod actions within an hour though, in most cases false positives are sorted out before the user even notices them.
