This is a known bug in lemmy-ui. Looks like the fix was not backported to stable yet.
- Comment on Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse 1 week ago:
You can subscribe to Peertube channels from Lemmy since a very long time. Recently there was a problem with federation on the Peertube side, but that should also be fixed now.

If any Activitypub platform sends messages to an actor which they arent addressed to, thats clearly a bug.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
This is wrong, Lemmy doesnt send private messages to followers.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
You are right.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
This is not correct, Lemmy sends private messages only to the single recipient server. Other instances cannot access it at all.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Not public. Private messages can only be accessed by your own admin, and the admin of the recipient. Other instances cannot access it in any way.

How does the json for a batched vote activity look like?
- Comment on Statistics for Lemmy Instances and Communities 5 weeks ago:
Good job! I wonder why some of these are missing from fediverse.observer. There is an add instance page, and entering for example aussie.zone says it already exists, but the search doesnt find it. Lemmy.cafe, fosscad.io are included in the statistics (file
instances/full.json.gzin the git repo), but not currently shown on the website.Thanks to your comment I realized that we are only showing instances with registration application on the official site, as there was concern that others would be overrun by spam bots. I had a look at it now, and instances with captcha are actually fine. Here you can see all that are newly listed on joinlemmy.
The instance list is sorted by monthly active users with slight randomization. As these instances you mention are among the larger ones, it is expected that they show near the top. Is there a better sort method that you would suggest?

- Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update February 2026 5 weeks ago:
The biggest storage issue is images, which is 2.1TB at the moment. There is a way to clear this up a bit with some software, but it’s apparently got risk, so low down the priority list at the moment as object storage is cheap and doesn’t affect the server directly.
Do you have image caching enabled? Then storage grows much slower.
- Comment on Ghost of Lemm.ee? 5 weeks ago:
Good idea, I just implemented this.
- Comment on Is there any service that provide a community growth chart? 5 weeks ago:
You’re in luck, I just modified the instance crawler on join-lemmy.org to collect statistics for all Lemmy instances. You can find them in this repo in JSON format. Now we need someone to build a tool that can visualize it. The stats could even be shown directly on join-lemmy.org.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Lemmy also has an admin setting like that. Additionally there will be private, federated communities available in version 1.0.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I made a couple of “Help Design Lemmy” posts in !lemmy@lemmy.ml recently to get feedback and ideas, which was very helpful. I will continue to make such posts to improve join-lemmy.org, and also Lemmy itself.
Had a look at the Piefed signup now, choosing categories like that is a good idea. But the question is how these categories get curated. We have something similar with the instance topics on join-lemmy.org but no one is really helping to maintain them. So for community categories it would probably similar. In 1.0 we will have some improvements for discovery, like multi-communities and a “suggested communities” collection which can be set by local admins.
For the Mastodon recommendation there isnt any good alternative software that I can see. So its probably best to recommend a single Mastodon instance, depending on the target audience.

Not everyone likes infinite scroll, but some apps such as vger.app offer it.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Sounds like you are specifically looking for a client focused on image browsing. In that case I would suggest linking to vger.app, phtn.app or blorp which I linked in another comment. Lemmy 1.0 will also have a card view which admins can set as default, where images are already expanded.
see another interesting post, image to small, can’t see so I have to click – lemmy.ml/post/42501566
This is only the link preview (indicated by the arrow icon), not an image post. Is the icon too small?

And so you decided to spread that misinformation further, instead of simply replying that it is wrong? I’m also very curious in what ways you consider Piefed’s UI better than Lemmy.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Not true.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Why dont you mind your own business?
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Ah yes because one sentence by someone you dislike is enough basis to judge a different person that you dislike. Why dont you do something useful with your live, instead of hating on people who actually create something useful?

Nice screenshot by the way, which leaves out 90% of the actual comment. Link for comparison. I wont even get into the other deceptions, you really are true to your name.

People will always find some excuse to do nothing and stay on Reddit. Whether its Lemmy or Piefed you will only ever get a few people to switch.

In what ways does the Lemmy UI suck? I would appreciate feedback in order to improve it. For what its worth I only use the default UI on desktop and mobile, and like it a lot.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
For different UI you can linnk people to blorp, vger.app or phtn.app. There are also a lot of mobile apps.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Instead of recommending Lemmy in general, you should recommend a specific instance which matches the audience. For example someone posted about piefed.ca in /r/BuyCanadian. Or you can link to a different frontend like vger.app.
I did make a redesign to join-lemmy.org recently so that new users can reach the registration page with a single click. I am also curious about any suggestions you have to improve the onboarding.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I am really curious, who is it that goes around and slanders me behind my back? Why do they care so much what a random person on the internet says? And these are just some casual comments in an obscure online forum. Does this individual not have work to do, or friends to spend time with instead of this? So feel free to send me a private message with the username who sends these links.

No, Lemmy is fine. We may have our personal opinions on our things, but we never let them affect our work. A lot of admins and contributors also keep an eye on it. If you dont like how moderation works on a particular Lemmy instance, you can find a dozen other instances with different rules. As developers we could not even ban the clowns on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works if we wanted.
