  • Yeah, I cannot find it documented anywhere. Which is probably on purpose, to avoid malicious actors finding out ways to bypass it. But you can find plenty of users on Reddit and whatnot complaining about how they are not getting registration emails for whatever services in their new Proton email accounts, then it suddenly works just fine when they try again ten days later.


  • Is your Proton account new? I believe Proton automatically filters out verification emails like that until the account reaches a certain age. As a means of restricting users from creating an anonymous throwaway Proton account to use just to sign up for another service to abuse it. Verification emails will not appear in your spam/junk/deleted folder or anything. You will just not receive them in any way at all. I am not sure how many days it takes for that restriction to be automatically lifted.



  • Any time I’ve tried uploading them, they are converted to jpg files. The only way I’ve been able to include them is by referencing images that are already hosted somewhere.

    I know that some instances have server-end logic in place to downscale uploaded images, or convert GIFs to WEBP, etc to reduce file size. I wouldn’t be surprised if your instance just converts all GIFs to a static JPG for some reason.















  • However, what you can do is find content that you want to interact with on the remote instance, copy the URL and then search for that URL on your server. That will pull that content and its context to your instance.

    Neat! Though it does not pull all context, just the “upstream” context. Meaning that if I search a post’s or comment’s URL, it will not pull in comments below it. But if I search a low-level comment, it will pull in all parent comments from that comment chain as well as the post itself. And, like another commenter mentioned, it will not pull in the votes.

    EDIT: On second thought, what I call “upstream context” is probably what Lemmy technically considers simply “context”, isn’t it?
