After a full week of trying to fix this and a few days of running with multiple patches, it seems as though there are still problems with federation. So I'm resorting to crowd sourcing: if you notice any problems interacting with other instances (voting, commenting, posting), or you're from another one and can't interact with FMHY, make a comment here. Include two links: one on the side without any issues, and one with them (if possible.)

Example post: New communities may not federate properly.

• /c/singularityai on FMHY
• /c/singularityai on lemmy.world

This will hopefully pinpoint what instances and/or types of activities are causing problems and why - are they using CF or not, are their servers just blocking us, is it specific to posts made on FMHY or does it include FMHY posts made on other instance's communities, stuff like that.

As for current workarounds:

• There is a userscript known as "LULS" (Lemmy URL Link Switcher) which mainly redirects all links (on other lemmy instances) to a configurable host instance. This script seems to do some funky stuff with federation, and sometimes manages to properly sync posts or communities when used. (Comments may not work after a post has synced.) If you're worried about safety, edit it to only allow usage on the domains you want.
• Try the regular federation process first. Some instances seem to behave differently to this (mostly lemmy.world during my tests), but searching does occasionally work properly.

I'd also, again, like to ask for anyone with technical knowledge on Lemmy. I'm now currently the only staff member on this and even though we don't have many people here anymore, it doesn't hurt to try or ask.

I'd also like to thank anyone for sticking around for this long, particularly u/Martineski and u/mr_MADAFAKA. Also thank you to dbzer0 for his help on this problem so far. Without everyone still here, we would've stopped running this instance, so thank you :)

The server will be down from 18:00 UTC for possibly one hour (not sure how long exactly) to replace the current docker + compose setup with an ansible setup. This is to hopefully fix any current federation problems, and if not, then to at least eliminate any issues software wise.

On a related note - If you're a technowizard, especially when it comes to ActivityPub and Lemmy BE, please message me (either here, over email, Discord (nullishcat), Matrix (nullishcat:matrix.org), or Divolt.) I still do not know the root cause of this problem and have nearly exhausted all potential fixes (the remaining ones being this setup change and switching providers.)

Technical details can be found here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3862#issuecomment-1711051012

EDIT: We're back up, very sorry for the long wait. (Ansible's setup guide is very poor and didn't make it clear that it needs to be run on a local PC running Linux/Mac and to copy the volumes to /srv/lemmy/volumes.) Federation tests will start shortly.

So, I wanted to ask the community what they think about this game? I tried the demo years ago back when it first debuted on steam, I thought it was alright, I’m not really a big fan of battle royal type games but I thought this one was fairly unique and executed decently enough.

However now years later as it goes free to play to support its falling playerbase, I was thinking about picking it up until I saw reviews talking about the game asking to disable windows protections & being Chinese spyware?

In-fact after searching up more on the topic I found a r**dit post showing that if you download the game from Naraka Bladepoint’s own website it comes pre-packed with a trojan that injects ads & trackers into your browsers!

Then I saw people saying that there’s a sizable cheater problem as well…

So now I’m not too sure, I’d rather not give yet another company a chance to collect all my data and add trojans to my pc…

remember the eldewrito halo online mod.

After some research I've narrowed down my options into these two controllers.

Use-case:

• Mostly PC gaming (It Takes Two, PS2 Emulation, etc.), Android Gaming (probably Emulation as well).
• Also my little brother has a Switch and it would be awesome to have another controller for that as well.

Why these two?

• They are available locally (Philippines) and within the budget.
• Both have Hall Effect Joysticks
• Both have good reviews and hopefully have good build quality

Why am I leaning towards 8bitdo Ultimate?

• Mostly because I think they are the same but 8bitdo has the back buttons.

Give me Reasons Why I Should Get the Gulikit KingKong 2 over the 8bitdo Ultimate

I've played other Ubisoft games before, most recently AC Odyssey. Been on a Switch kick for a minute and smashed 200 hours in TOTK, potentially one of my favorite games ever at this point. But I wanted to switch it up and go through some of my PC backlog so I started up Far Cry 5.

The beginning was decent...but it became very apparent quickly that the entire model of the game was very, well, familiar. In that it's almost identical in gameplay design to AC Odyssey. Add to that the almost distracting number of bugs in the game - constantly have civilians that I can't liberate for no reason, and if you use a game controller the reverse and decelerate buttons for driving vehicles straight up aren't even mapped - and my opinion is that this is a subpar experience. I haven't extensively looked up other people's reviews or experiences, but I was curious to know if anyone felt similarly.

What is the best place for DDL or P2P video game soundtracks? If it was serving them as lossless flacs that would be great too.

TLDR: A discussion about a new game that resembles WoW but with a more casual and seasonal model. The game seems to lack a clear identity, borrowing elements from different games without excelling at any of them. However, it offers an alternative for players looking for a less grind-intensive experience with enjoyable PvP. The conversation touches on nostalgia, lore, and the convenience of playing on mobile. While the game has potential, there is a desire for something revolutionary in the MMO genre that offers a fresh and universally appealing experience.
