  • Did you find a solution. The above comment with the database query should work. You can access the docker container where the database is running with docker exec -it instancedomain_postgres_1 busybox /bin/sh and then run psql -U databaseuser which by default is ‘lemmy’.

    Check docker ps to know the exact name of the postgres container which in your case likely is lemmytalungorg_postgres_1














  • If you’re an admin you can visit any remote community and click on “remove”. You can even remote comments or posts from being visible to users of your instance. It’s not ideal because it’s on a case by case basis instead of it being an instance-wide silence which is often a better solution that doesn’t require you to hunt down remote instances and remove them manually while it also doesn’t break federation.

    You’ve got a good point. Ultimately every instance is responsible for its users and their behavior. Harassment should not be tolerated.

    SIJW needs to make a decision. IMHO it’s perfectly fine to say that your instance is not prepared to deal with that kind of shit regardless of how open and accommodating you want to be.

    If they believe there’s a space for “moderate trump supporters” that’s their decision but they are on the hook for any harassment caused by their users.






  • Hey there! Thank you for reaching out. I’ll definitely not block your instance then. Regarding postgres, first login to the postgres container with docker exec -it containername busybox /bin/sh

    You can get the container name by running docker ps. Once inside login to psql console with psql -U lemmy

    I’ve written this from memory, but it should be very similar if not the same.

    EDIT: Consider saving the usernames and details of the bots that signed up. We might be able to use that for some analysis.
