Our server went down last night, after we received some messages from our provider that someone had uploaded illegal pornographic photos.

They stated that they had contacted us before ( they didn’t ) which would give us opportunity to remove them before the site going down.

The user and community where these pictures were located, we’d banned about a month ago, and it wouldn’t be possible to view them from lemmy itself, but we have yet to code purging dangling pictrs images automatically with user and community deletion, obviously now a priority for us.

We were able to trace things down and delete them, and bring the site up this morning.

Again sry for the site being down. If you find any pornographic materials on lemmy ( against our site rules ), let us know so we can remove them ASAP and keep lemmy running.

        Nah, I still don’t get auto thumbnails nor auto titles for posts. Is it possibly because I post so much on #worldnews ? Or maybe it’s just on my end?

          Probably your end. Lemmy doesn’t have the ability to block thumbnails from sites or users. My guess is that the source site isn’t allowing other sites to fetch their images.

            It is consistant on every source. If you look in #worldnews you’ll see all my recent posts are lacking a thumbnail, and auto titling isn’t happening either.

                No, I’m just using the website. It’s really weird. it started after the server went down. But it is very likely it’s on my end. I just don’t know why it is happening.

                  Me neither. But I want to assure you that you’re not being singled out for your content because the site can’t do that.

                    Good to know! I’ll see if it works with a different browser or something. It’s not a huge problem, although it makes the posts and communties less engaging
