Wow, okay that's weird. It's doing it for me too, must be some debugging option
I've been using alexandrite and haven't noticed.
I'll take a look tonight.
For a desktop client, it actually works pretty nice on mobile too.
Yeah, you just need to login again and put in your totp code this time. Kinda annoying that it doesn't provide a field for your totp code on the first page.
Migration has been completed!
For transparency and posterity the maintenance log is here: lemmy-2023-09-03
Lemmy was running a bit slow on the new database due to too few slots in the pool.
I've increased and seems to be keeping up now.
The maintenance has completed and everything is now running from our new database.
Thanks for your patience while we performed this migration.
You are super welcome, lovely.
It brings Ada and I a whole heap of pleasure running these instances and it's largely knowing that we're making a difference to our users, and providing a safe space for you all to grow and flourish that makes it all worth it for us.
Oh let me count the ways...
Ada is super smart and knowledgeable across a broad range of topics from physics, astronomy and technology all the way to the subgenus species and origins of varieties of birds.
She's pretty, loving, caring, empathetic. She has a big strong heart.
But the ruthlessness and absolute conviction which comes out whenever she sees something wrong... that is honestly the most awesome thing about her. The way she goes from zero to 100 in under a second, that's her true superpower, and quite something to see.
I'm somewhat enamored, tbh.
I have been watching my love tie herself in knots over the last several days, having to deal with the drama that has been brought on, trying her best to bring everyone back together.
There's been bad behaviour from both sides, and I'm really disappointed to see that some of the worst of it came from our users, who didn't keep to the moral high ground, disregarded our instance rules and stoopped to levels of behaviour worse than that leveled against them.
There have been accusations against us (or Ada specifically) that we are a safe harbour for bad behaviour and cause harm to trans people through our inaction.
This is perhaps the cruelest accusation they could have leveled at Ada, as she works tirelessly to maintain a safe space for our community, and while I was hoping, for all the effort that she was investing into this issue, that she could make it work despite my own reservations, this last attack on her impeccable morality has made me very angry.
I'm sorry for those that wanted to remain federated, sorry that it came to this, but I am glad it's over now, purely for the mental health of my precious beloved.
I have a process which copies emojos from the hajkey blahaj.zone site to our lemmy.
Last night (for me) it copied an invalid emojo into the database and it broke lemmy for hours while Ada and I were sleeping.
I've found the issue and fixed it now, so everything should be purring along once again, but for those who were left without the instance to use, I sincerely apologise.
I think it's because a lot of her fans were like "hang on, she's just misunderstood, she's not really transphobic, just doesn't want those fake transes going into women's spaces", and Rowling kept it pretty vague, open for misinterpretation, not really ever able to be pinned down as actually being provably transphobic in the minds of many.
But something happened recently and it tipped her over the edge, from keeping her donations low key and her transphobia aimed at the theoretical "not really a woman 'trans-identified-male' boogeyman-woman" (who doesn't really exist), to outright making open donations to anti-trans groups and attacking real trans women.
All the sudden her supporters are like... Wait, this is not who we thought you meant… Where are these scary men? The ones invading women's spaces that you were talking about?
