it was just the purges and the emails being broken at the time. once we discovered the breakage we immediately started working on fixing it. the problem was that we initially missed that it broke.

Hello @[email protected],

our registration application system is completely automated and we’re making it very clear on our signup page what text you need to provide in order for your application to be approved.

Additionally, you should have received an email about your registration being rejected within a minute of verifying your email. Unfortunately your application fell within a window of these notifications being broken on our end, as we had to fix some stuff following our recent Lemmy update. Other users will generally receive this notification when their application is rejected.

As you explained why you’d want to sign up on lemmy.world rather than entering the required text your application had been denied. Our application processing system is also purging accounts from the database when the application gets rejected, so the username is available again and you’ll be able to sign up again with the same name.

unfortunately it seems that people are trusting google search results to be accurate without following links.

as far as I can tell this is a combination of reddit returning the subreddit creation date as the timestamp that will show up in search results yet including images of recent posts, which google will then use as an indicator of “the image exists on this page”. this will lead to a 7 year old subreddit with recent posts showing as the image being present on a 7 year old search result. if people actually follow the link they’ll see it’s just a link to the subreddit and not to an individual post.

are there actually this old posts?

this seems like google + reddit being a shitty combination. i’m seeing fewer results but the two results i get that are 7 years old are just links to the subreddit, not to posts, which is likely throwing off the date on there.

other reverse image searches like tineye don’t show any prior images, so it’s very likely that you’re just fooled by misleading search results.

unless you can produce links or other evidence about actual 7 year old content please correct your comment.

I have already commented the same on the other post.

only mostly accurately for local users, for remote users we obviously can’t see that.

as we have 15 days of log retention for this, i can tell you that we’ve had about 25.7k requests with auth tokens with a success status over the last 15 days, 23.1k over 7d and 17.9k over 24h.

Lemmy currently only counts users that posted, commented or voted as active users, so the difference is just people who voted but didn’t post or comment. there are certainly quite a few more users lurking that aren’t included in these stats.

over the last 24 hours, I can see 4,878 active contributors in our db. 785 unique posters and 4,550 unique commenters.

expanding this to a 30 day view, this gives 20,821 contributors of which 5,648 posted and 19,625 commented.

this is excluding bot accounts.

hi, you’ll probably have a better experience here if you tag your post with the correct language or post in english.

note that this isn’t available in all interfaces/clients, but the default web interface supports this.

alternatively, you could see if there are any spanish gaming communities to participate in.

i don’t speak spanish, but this community looks like it might be better suited: [email protected]
