Temporary for you ... permanent for the rest of the fediverse, lol.

There's some 'ngrok-free.app' URLs knocking about from my experiments too. What's fun is that I can leave them down for months, and then as soon as I start them again, Mastodon is straight there with "HELLO EVERYONE EVER - I'VE DELETED A USER! ... I'VE DELETED ANOTHER USER ..."

The other posts from that user follow the same format (with the image, and then the credits below it) and they all seem to have appeared in the community okay. There's nothing wrong with the original post on kbin.earth, so it looks like a very specific hiccup happened with the processing of that particular post. It's the kind of bug that I think would be impossible to track down, unfortunately.

I forced an update for that post, and it's rendering okay now at least.

That opening sequence does it no favours - it looks cheap, and they've already redone the hallway sequence from Rogue One plenty of times before.

Nope - there's no setting to change this behaviour.

If you imagine what it would look like without the merging, the one shown would be the one nearest the top of the screen - so if you're sorting by 'New', then it'll be the newest, by 'Top' and it'll be the most upvoted, by 'Active' then the most active. Because of how much LW dominates, it'll pretty much always be that one.

There's a good chance that the person has automated the activity (it certainly doesn't appear to be done with any thought), but they're technically not a bot.

It's a relatively new feature, but PieFed merges up crossposts that it sees into one post - whether the post you see within a topic is yours or not will depend on the sort type - there's a 'layers' icon beneath relevant posts, and clicking that can get you to the other posts if the visible one isn't the one you want.

That modlog entry is actually for the LW community - it's a bit clearer here: https://lemmy.world/modlog/31408?page=1&actionType=All&userId=13663964

The posts being made to the LW community aren't being made by someone who cares about this comic. They're not genuinely providing anything, they just have a stupid tedious beef with lemmy.ml, and so mindlessly crosspost everything they see posted to an ML community to a non-ML community. This means that if you don't post first, the comic is unlikely to appear at all.

Ah, shit. Cheers. The amount of things learned from the comments under memes is probably a bit high, but I'll send a commit to fix this in a minute.

Does Lemmy look at the mods URL again when it decides to refresh a community (or when it receives an Update / Group) ? If not, then PieFed instances might need to send out some "Add" activities.

PieFed isn't hiding mods - when Lemmy fails to get them, it's for its own mysterious reasons.

In ActivityPub, to get the moderators of this community you can do this from the command-line:
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://feddit.uk/c/fedimemes/moderators | jq .orderedItems

To get the moderators of a PieFed community, it's exactly the same:
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://piefed.social/c/50501/moderators | jq .orderedItems

In both cases, the mods URL comes from the attributedTo field for the community.
