FAQs

Q: Are we allowed to post here?

A: You can access the wiki via our website or from one of the mirrors in backups.


Q: Are the sites here safe to use?

A: Yes, we always scan files and research sites to ensure their safety before adding them. We also listen to the community, so if there's something you feel needs to be addressed, you're more than welcome to contact us. You can also find all the sites/software we've listed as unsafe here.


Q: What is Divolt?

A: You can read about it here.


Q: How can I contact you?

A: You can find all the ways to search the wiki here.


Q: Can I edit FMHY?

Q: Can I get an offline copy of the wiki?

A: The raw markdown files can all be downloaded from the backups page. The formatting should work on any sites or apps that support markdown.


Q: How do I view encoded links?

A: You can use any base64 decoding site or extension.


Q: Can I donate?

A: We appreciate that people want to support us by donating, but the reason we maintain this project is because it's fun and it's our desire to help others, not to make money. We never have and never will accept donations.

Any good active communities? This place seems kinda dead

[โ€“] Kaizen@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We had a minor issue with federation but there should be plenty of active communities in the All tab :)

[โ€“] buckethead@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, way more stuff now. Thanks!

[โ€“] Kaizen@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

No problem :)

I love FMHY I've just found it half a year ago but the metrics that this takes up is immense, and I cannot stop looking back weekly and found and search for new stuff this place is more than just gold/platinum.

[โ€“] DuckSpez@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but is there a way to hide posts after viewing?

[โ€“] zinklog@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Just Uncheck this. (in your settings)

[โ€“] DuckSpez@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That would be great if I wanted to hide everything I read but I think a lot of people like myself like to go back to things we are interested in to see new comments. I just want to hide certain posts I have no interest in.

[โ€“] TheLonelyDude2049@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure, but it's not implemented yet. Maybe it will be implemented in the future.

[โ€“] DuckSpez@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the reply.

Is a file request community allowed if it follows the instance guidelines?

Is it possible to customize a community to auto-lock threads once they're created, so no one can reply to the thread? Or disable the ability to reply to threads in some other way?

I dunno how close to toeing the line a request section would be, or how easy it would be to enforce the instance rules without disabling the ability to reply to threads.

Divolt is non functional on Android for me. Am I doing something wrong?

[โ€“] Kaizen@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you using rvmob app or are you using web browser ?

[โ€“] Aninjanameddaryll@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Kaizen@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Ah weird, for instance did you add api.divolt.xyz, also sorry for the late response :/

[โ€“] gentloo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why is there a section in the FMHY site that has base64 encoded URLS?

[โ€“] zinklog@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Direct linking to mega or google drives are much more prone to takedowns, so we base64'd them as a precaution.

Do the mods of this instance have any consensus on defederation from other instances?

For example if they violate one of the instances rules such as

  1. No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, spam.
[โ€“] Kaizen@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, if an instance has a history of being problematic and its users causing issues on other instances we will defed. We're trying to keep defederation minimal & letting our users curate the content they see.

Makes sense it is a bit of a nuclear option after all. I've seen the occasional post while browsing by all about sh.it just.works and their issue with exploding-heads and it made me curious so I figured I'd ask

[โ€“] innate@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't login to Jerboa due to the server being on 17.4 instead of 18. How long do upgrades normally take to complete?
