    Ashutosh-Verma have you tried adding a widget container to the widget? Widgets normally aren't set up with any containers so there won't be any space between them.

    With the Lemmy developers' help, we figured it out! It was NodeBB's spam protection mechanism. One of our configurable options is to limit the number of upvotes one can make per day. Someone (or someones) on Lemmy communities was sending lots of upvotes and running into this limitation when those activities were propagated to NodeBB. NodeBB dutifully noted this and sent back an HTTP 500. Lemmy dutifully noted this and retried sending the activity using an exponential backoff algorithm Eventually enough 500s were recorded that Lemmy decided that our server needed a time-out of sorts I updated the code to handle this case better, and now the activities are coming in at full speed. It'll take awhile to get back up to sync though

    phenomlab ah good to hear, thanks, and sorry about that! We're not quite sure what happened with the eslint update that caused existing installs to complain so loudly.

    Rp1 that's a use case I am unfamiliar with. Unfortunately at this time I don't think session sharing plugin is able to utilise that cookie. It's an interesting idea though! It'd basically replace the need for the session sharing plugin!

    ScrapBlox hi, sorry about the delay. Sometimes it's hard to think of what to debug next. Can you screen shot the settings on both sides? Feel free to blur out the client id and secret

    Kichae re: > so giving registered-users privilege back to -1 worked? can you let me know if the registered-users bug is still occurring? I am wondering if I patched it in the course of regular development.
