Fedia Discussions

Fedia.io had a few issues over the past 24 hours - sometimes working find till you click on certain posts, which result in an error 500, and other times just getting an error 500 no matter what....

Opening the following thread leads to a 500 error to me:...

The server fedia.io had been running on started developing stability problems overnight from Thursday April 4 to Friday April 5. By Saturday (today), the system was completely unbootable. After attempting to resolve the hardware issue with Hetzner (the ISP) for about 6 hours, I gave up and moved the site to a new server. All...

So, I'm have some topic I want to write a post about, but don't know what would be the best fitting magazine to post it....

Recently, there's been a pretty serious spam bot on a federated community: https://fedia.io/u/@ThuleanSneed@startrek.website...

For a while now all video threads are basically just opening a screenshot of the video when you expand them instead of opening the video itself. I noticed this both for YouTube and Catbox hosted videos and you now have to first open the thread itself, and then click on the actual link of the title to open the actual page where...

You literally can't do it. If you try, you just get an error message. Pretty much anything from hexbear.net is unblockable. Which is really unfortunately, because it is one of the worst instances out there.

Fedia.io is now running on it's own stand-alone server. This server is costing me $210/month, so any contributions are welcome. Please let me know of any issues.

I am going to be rehoming fedia.io to a new server. Today, fedia.io runs on shared app server and shared database server. I will be moving fedia.io to a dedicated 48 core/96 thread AMD epyc server with 256GB of RAM, which will house both the app and the database. This is less about fedia.io and more about the other apps...

I’m trying to access this community from fedia.io:...

You have no doubt noticed that federation is breaking again. I am painfully aware of it. The issue is with the symphony queue runner that processes incoming messages from other instances. Occasionally, the server receives a message that causes the queue runner to die. I have to manually remove the offending message out of...

Hi all. I was recently made aware that people have been getting error 429's and other error 500's when visiting fedia.io. My hope/expectation is that those will no longer happen now that I've moved back to a bare metal install, but if you do experience that, please comment below, or if that doesn't work, send me an emai to...

Hi all. It took a while for me to get to it, but I have just completed rehoming fedia.io from containers back to a bare metal install. This should fix the issue with federation stopping. I'll keep an eye on it, though.

It seems like sh.itjust.works is the only defederated instance. Any reason as to why?

Hello. I will be taking fedia.io offline on Saturday, Feb 3 to rehome it to a different server. Since moving fedia.io to a container-based platform, federation has been very unreliable and slow. I'll be moving to a non-container-based/bare metal install, which should address the federation issues.

I get the threads, but there's no votes, no replies. Nothing. None of my comments show up anywhere if I look at the original instances....

Hi,...

I’m blocking probably hundreds of mags (all mags on Cloudflare sites like lemmy.world). The results of search queries are rich in posts from blocked mags. When I visit the post the sidebar shows that indeed that mag is blocked....

When I look at https://fedia.io/all/newest right now there seems to be very little getting through today, with only 3 new threads in the past 10 hours....

I tried to block a couple communities from reaching my timeline and got the 500 error. These are the URLs the browser tried to visit when clicking the “block” button:...

Uploading GIFs on this site has been hit-or-miss for the few months I've been here, but where they used to fail with an error page a while back, the GIF is now quietly discarded from the thread. Posting GIFs to this instance is broken from kbin.social as well (where the whole post fails) so it's not a front-end issue.

Sorry to bother you again jerry 😅...

When I try to DM someone on the jlai.lu lemmy instance, I get “403 Forbidden”....

I have ensured that I am not subscribed to any mags on centralized instances. E.g....
