  • I’m not sure I’d classify it as a bug. Instances can temporarily go down at any moment for numerous reasons, to account for this instances will keep retrying to connect with an exponential backoff. At what point should an instance assume that another instance is permanently gone?

    Perhaps a good start would be adding a status indicator to every community with something like last sync: 1 minute ago.


  • You can see that an instance/community is gone by visiting the instance directly. In this case at https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/imaginarymechas (which obviously won’t work now, as it’s gone).

    Whenever you submit a post to a community, first your own instance saves the post locally, then sends it to the instance hosting the community, this instance then sends it to any other instance with users subscribed to the community. When the hosting instance is down, then that step of course fails, resulting in the post being only visible to members of your own instance.




  • To be fair, the stock image has the telltale signs of being AI generated. Details are warped in a fashion that a photo or human drawing wouldn’t have.

    Either way, I don’t get the controversy. Some person broke the Shutterstock anti-AI ToU, and someone at Disney bought the image for their design, possibly not knowing it was AI generated.
