Hey - lots of new things we’ve not seen before being uncovered. Feel free to give it a shot (backup the old version first!) And let us know if it works or not. If that is the issue, I’ll log an issue with the lemmy devs as I’m sure it’ll help someone in the future

Hey - no issues with VPN. You *might *get more cloudflare challenges, but we won’t block you! We have no plans to enable a block either.

Constantly tired and constantly being screamed at, but its all good thank you 🤣

Yeah spot on, it’s complicated by me being a UK resident and also the owner, and so the only way to protect the site without introducing age verification and AI monitoring (which are dystopian measures, not to mention incredibly expensive) without changing aspects of the site, is to just not provide a service to the UK users.
If I wasn’t in the UK, I’d just ignore this act like every other admin and service does.

Just pinning this - we are getting a little battered by people importing their data from lemm.ee.
If you get a timeout or a rate limit error, please try using a VPN to upload it 😊
If this doesn’t work, feel free to shoot us a PM or let us know!

Hey, welcome! :)

There is no need for us to defederate, the law is around accessing a specific website and the onligations to ensure the content on that website doesnt fall under the OSA.
It doesn’t matter where that content comes from, just that UK users don’t see specific content. Therefore we don’t show UK users any content.
That’s kind of a simplified summary, but hopefully makes sense.
It only impacts lemmy.zip because I am a UK resident and run the site, so am liable under the act. Otherwise I’d do what everyone else has done and ignore it.

Hey, welcome along! :)
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 days ago:
I will certainly consider it! :D pre-warning, I am not promising many of them are good 😂
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 days ago:
Hey! They are privately owned yes (by me) and currently not in a foundation - donation amounts have never really warranted the cost or complexity of setting anything up.
However, all admins have a level of access to the backend of the site, including SSH, Cloudflare, Hetzner etc. so that the site can be maintained even if I were to vanish.
If I step down, there is sufficient technical knowledge (and equally as importantly, admins with the right ethos!) to keep the site running and to take on the ownership.
I do have a plan to move things into some form of non-profit/community structure when it becomes warranted. That does mean doxxing myself though, so I’m holding off until necessary :)
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 days ago:
Appreciate that, thank you 🙏
We had a slightly over-beefy server for our old needs, but now - oof
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 days ago:
Welcome aboard! The admin team have been flat out approving the requests (and taking time to enjoy many of the application messages!) so I’m really happy people are noticing this.
While the circumstances are rubbish, we’re glad to have you here :)
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 2 days ago:
Yeah donations are an important point - the server is coping with the current levels, but its certainly not thriving! If we are lucky enough to be chosen by a majority of .ee, we will definitely need to consider an upgrade or additional hardware.

Hey, welcome :)

Hey, welcome along! I’ve updated the post to include them but its currently hexbear and lemmygrad that get blocked on account creation.
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 3 days ago:
No worries, glad it worked!

Hey, might be worth trying over a vpn if you have access to one, otherwise leave it with us and I’ll come back to you when I have an answer :) I think we need to restart lemmy to clear rate limits due to lots of new accounts.

Hey, welcome along :)
- Comment on Welcome to Lemmy.zip 3 days ago:
I think in the region of 150 to 200. For us, thats quite a few :)

Thank you! Will log it with alexandrite devs and see if we can work it out :)
- Comment on Voyager moved the default instance to lemmy.zip 3 days ago:
I fully agree with you - I’m legally liable though under the act and am not risking fines.
It won’t affect voyager access though.

Hey, would it be possible to link me to where you’re seeing this behaviour please?
- Comment on Voyager moved the default instance to lemmy.zip 3 days ago:
Wow, that’s amazing 🥲
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 4 days ago:
These days, join-lemmy is pretty good at narrowing down instances to match your likes.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 4 days ago:
Ahh, this is really sad. Lemm.ee was always an instance that shined brightly, and @sunaurus@lemm.ee has helped me out a couple of times.
Sad day indeed.

Hopefully things should work now but let me know if you struggle with images
- Comment on Site Maintenance: Thursday 14th May 12:00 UTC 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, it will be. The back end pictures stuff has been super unstable so some of the measures in place to keep the site up will interfere for a short while. Please bear with us 🙏
- Comment on Site Maintenance: Thursday 14th May 12:00 UTC 3 weeks ago:
Yes, you’re absolutely right
