The downvotes are all coming from accounts on other instances, which as @[email protected] suggested, makes us think it’s most likely people browsing “All” and not appreciating seeing twenty discussion posts (not that that justifies it).

I don’t want to be a mod here anymore 😭

Should be fixed now. Try it again (clear your cache first).

Ugh thanks for letting me know, does it happen every time you click it? And would you say the problem has been less frequent overall?

I think I might have fixed it, let me know if you encounter it again.

Any slowness should be gone by now, I haven’t seen the JSON thing happen to me yet, but I’ll look into it. Next time it happens to you can you DM me a screenshot?

Things may be uh- crispy for a few hours while we get re-Federated and all the other instances whallop us with traffic. It should pass within a day.

I’ve also just put up an announcement in /c/Quark’s

OP- you are not on StarTrek.website. You’re on feddit.de. When you scroll /c/Risa you are scrolling a “copy” on feddit.de.

I assure you we are fully functional.

EDIT: FWIW I checked /c/Risa on feddit.de and thumbnails loaded fine …maybe try clearing your browser cache?

We’ve been targeted too by what’s probably a couple of script kiddies trying to brute force their way into our server. Not exactly a DDOS but a similar effect. Just had to remodulate the shields a few times.

Stories like this make me very happy to hear. When I heard the /r/StarTrek and Daystrom mods talking about joining Lemmy I’d thought bringing their reputation for positivity and tolerance to a Trek-themed instance could provide a familiar and comfortable jumping-off point for users unsure about the broader Fediverse.

OH, yes. vger.app is a web app (aka forntend), not a theme. It’s also not “Voyager” (the show) themed per-se, I believe it’s based off of the old Reddit app Apollo.

There’s a Voyager theme? What instance? I’d love to add it here.

I banned the account from the instance and alerted its instance Admin. Lemmy makes it very easy for bot accounts to self-identify and this one wasn’t which makes it more suspicious. But what is its goal? Karma farming??
