verification emails are usually sent immediately. if there are delays you should check your junk folder, and if it’s not there it probably won’t arrive anymore. depending on the instance you signed up on there may be alternative methods to reach out to the instance admins about this. note that private messages from mastodon to lemmy do not work unfortunately.

you may have broken your language settings? check in your account settings. the posts are all tagged as English, you’ll want to have at least English and undefined languages selected

fwiw, for Sync users the update to 0.19.5 is not that great, as @ljdawson@lemmy.world still hasn’t updated Sync to use the updated APIs for marking posts as read :(

likely https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2666

this is only for setting the default user language during registration based on the browsers accept language headers.

this is likely related to https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4971

this isn’t true. it was incorrectly stated in the upgrade guide but has been removed a while ago. it was supposed to be a recommendation due to some issues with postgres 15. there is no postgres upgrade required between 0.19 releases.

account names cannot be changed.

you can only change your display name, which is available in the settings.

whether display names or usernames are shown depends on the interface/client and user settings where available.

the only way to change the username is to create a new account.

it seems to have become more frequent recently.

i’ve been experiencing the same on firefox and i’ve also heard other people report the same on firefox, which happened around the time of the firefox 129 release. i didn’t see anything noteworthy in the release notes though that’d explain this. it seems like it might be related to enhanced tracking protection and cookie isolation.

this is a lemm.ee limitation, not a Lemmy limitation, so this is the wrong community.

if you look at the instance sidebar at https://lemm.ee/ you can see that it’s 4 weeks.

@user_naa@mastodon.social I’m not sure if this was intentional, but both of your replies to the comments here seem to have been deleted by you.

simply put: no

most fediverse software has its own API specific to how that application works. in some cases different fediverse software may be sharing a common API, which is typically a result of either a reimplementation (e.g. the Sublinks project is working on a reimplementation of the Lemmy API) or the result of a fork, where the previous API has been inherited and is typically built on top of.

It should also be noted that while Lemmy and Mastodon both use ActivityPub federation for interoperation, they have significantly different internal structures for how data is stored and represented to clients. I don’t know if mastodon supports vote federation with Lemmy at this point, but if it doesn’t do that currently, then using an alternative frontend won’t help you. It would likely be possible to build a Mastodon client that has a better thread view though, but it’d still have to be something built for the Mastodon API specifically.

for sure, but they’re neither mentioned on https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html nor on the linked CommonMark tutorial.

It’s not even just that. It seems that the extra @ acts as a separator, so you can’t even autocomplete e.g. @threelonmusketeers@sh as that’ll try to autocomplete @sh instead of taking the instance domain as part of the mention.

I’ve raised a GitHub issue for this now: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2652

on firefox, if i type @gedal and click or press tab once it replaces the text with [@gedaliyah@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/gedaliyah) . the behavior is the same whether i hit tab, enter or click the text.

it contains turtle and crazy

The ban appears to be caused by your post linking to a known blogspam site that has frequently been spammed to Lemmy in the past.

You can export/import your account settings on the settings page, which includes also the following data:

• subscribed communities
• saved posts
• saved comments
• blocked communities
• blocked users
• blocked instances

There is no way to associate content you have previously posted/commented with your new account however.
You might need to import the file multiple times to get everything imported.

just as great as lemmy-ui

it does, but only if you use the autocomplete feature. it’s also a bit delayed without any indicator that it’s loading.

if you type @gedal and wait a moment it’ll load @gedaliyah@lemmy.world to be selected:
