A couple of times I’ve tried making posts and got an error of “Lemmy: blocked URL”. As the first time it happened was with a post with multiple links, I didn’t know which site was the problem.

The second time with just one link, “Oh, it’s Blogspot.” (IIRC, a completely different blog, and on a different /c.)

  • How can I find out which URLs are blocked, so as to not waste my time trying to post them?
  • Who is it blocking them?
    • individual communities?
    • the instance of the community?
    • all Lemmy everywhere all at once?
  • I guess I’m out of the loop, why is Blogspot blocked?

    I guess I’m out of the loop, why is Blogspot blocked?

    Can you message me with the link? I can look into it from the admin side. You may need to chop it up into parts if the instance is blocking it:

    example . com

      I’ve never messaged someone on Lemmy. Currently using Tess front-end and I see no way to do it.

      I’ll chop them up here:

          Thanks! I was looking in a user’s profile, right-clicking in various places etc.

        Hmm I looked at our blocklist and blogspot.com was there. That wasn’t intentional, we normally only block specific blogspot subdomains that were used by spammers in the past, sorry about that!

        The slashes after devorahostrov and monstermoviemusic are wrong. Those are invalid domains. That is probably why they are blocked. Because they are completely wrong.

          There are no such slashes in the original URLs, and thus not in what I posted. They’ve been added here by Lemmy somehow after I posted them.
