- Comment on Slow server responses? 3 days ago:
Definitely something was up, the server maxed out.
Seems similar behaviour to when someone imports their settings from another instance, which caused a lot of problems during the .ee migration, however I’ll see if I can find any other reasons for it.
- Comment on What are best practices for browsing lemmy.zip? 5 days ago:
Voyager, blorp has an android app too, there’s loads in the play store. I use the web view personally though
- Comment on What are best practices for browsing lemmy.zip? 5 days ago:
Hey, welcome! Blorp is under active development so might not yet be feature complete. The other UIs (“frontends”) are all quite established now. You can use photon (m.lemmy.zip) on desktop or mobile, and its fully feature complete.
I usually stick to Hot/All, generally a good turnover of posts for me :)
Hot is the most upvoted posts recently, active is the most comments. I believe scaled promotes smaller communities, but I don’t use it much personally.

I enjoyed the fuck out of the beta/demo thing, can’t wait for the release
- Comment on Lemmy.zip Server Update September 2025 2 weeks ago:
Well, thats incredibly worrying. Thanks for the info.

Runs on one of these: www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax42/
- Comment on Lemmy.zip Server Update September 2025 2 weeks ago:
Yeah its fine, by geoblocking the UK traffic we’re outside of the scope of the OSA. While it is admittedly an odd position to be in, there’s nothing inherently wrong with it.

Weve had Alice banned for like a year unfortunately, which is why you won’t see much/any activity, especially if that account is a mod in the community.
- Comment on Lemmy.zip Server Update September 2025 2 weeks ago:
Nope, should be all good with HC, for example lemmy.zip/u/AINewsBot@hilariouschaos.com should show the latest posts for you

Us person here. Does that mean that donations are tax deductible?
We’re a UK-based non-profit company, not a US 501©(3) charity. That means donations aren’t tax deductible in the US.
There are apparently avenues, but we’re not at the stage of looking into that yet.

- Comment on 451 error on Lemmy.zip media? ("Unavailable due to legal reasons") 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a paid feature (we don’t pay) - its their CSAM scanning tool. In this case, because we use the Lemmy proxy, it’s taken down everything pattern matching
https://i.lemmy.zip/api/v3/image_proxywhich is less than helpful. - Comment on 451 error on Lemmy.zip media? ("Unavailable due to legal reasons") 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the heads up! It is thankfully a false positive from another server that tripped the CSAM scanner. It shouldn’t take down all the images though, I guess that’s the risk of using it with the proxy. Pros and cons!
Just waiting on Cloudflare to resolve now, images should be back up shortly.
- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 4 weeks ago:
Honestly, country is gripped by clowns.
Would not be at all surprised to find the commissioner has shares or a financial interest in Age Verification companies.
- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 4 weeks ago:
Giving adults free access to high quality porn in exchange for stopping children using VPNs would probably be fairly effective.
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 4 weeks ago:
My response wasn’t regarding the geoblock, but to the above poster saying we block VPNs (which isn’t true)
But just so you’re aware, we dont geoblock federation traffic and all our posts, comments etc are federated without issue.
The only thing geoblocked is the UIs, so UK visitors can’t access the UI.
If your client tries to direct you to lemmy.zip rather than the crossposted article, then that client isn’t working properly and you should log a bug. Like any crosspost, the content federates fine.
Hope that clears it up for you.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Sorry but your posts are FUD. You’re trying to equate people misusing tlds (which happens across many other tlds) as somehow lemmy.zip is “bad” instance that should be avoided.
Not only is that not true, you are also purposely misunderstanding how federation works as if youre somehow safer not interacting with lemmy.zip. Again, not remotely true.
If you want to block .zip TLDs you go for it, no one is stopping you, but you may as well block .com TLDs while you’re at it as that’s where most scams take place.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Just to clear up, you aren’t interacting with lemmy.zip communities directly from your instance. You never directly interface with lemmy.zip, instead the servers send copies of posts and comments between eachother.
There is no risk from lemmy.zip (obviously) - its a lemmy instance that’s been around over 2 years and is perfectly legitimate. There’s just as much risk from every other tld where people intentionally misspell company names or try to insert similar looking characters. Practice basic Internet security (i.e. dont click on links you aren’t expecting) and you’re pretty much covered.
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 4 weeks ago:
We dont actually block VPNs, but we do block ASNs where we get abuse traffic. Just so happens that Proton VPNs servers in France are on that ASN.

Damn this looks a lot like Objects in Space (which was rudely abandoned in early access)
- Comment on Lemmy.zip seems down for me. 4 weeks ago:
The site is up (as you can see by using a vpn!) - if its timing out and youre not seeing anything from cloudflare then its likely something else in your connection preventing you from accessing the site. ISP related maybe?
Might also be worth clearing cache or using a private browser tab to check its not something in the browser

Thank you! I’ve learnt so much doing this, it’s wild to me that we can pull so much traffic!

I really appreciate the kind words, thank you 🙏

- Comment on What is piefed? 1 month ago:
I don’t use it currently (except on one of the front ends we use as a test) but I believe the easiest way would be to use nginx to separate the paths you want to pass traffic to, so it doesnt apply to api traffic etc, only the ui. I use traefik for piefed so I don’t know how it integrates in there yet, but I know a few people have got it working for lemmy by using the nginx paths.
There is also go-away as an alternative option.
I have made extensive use of cloudflares challenges too
