User ids of Habiticans

If you're still participating in utopify challenges over Habitica, you have to provide your user id, which can be found on the [settings page](https://habitica.com/user/settings/api). The reason is that it's one of the many ways to prevent cheaters to win the πŸ’Ž, because most of them only join a challenge and don't do anything afterwards, hoping they get chosen randomly. A bot will frequently read all the comments of this thread and save your user id from Habitica and your fediverse address. This is important to identify your reports you post here to the connecting challenges, which qualifies you on Habitica to win the πŸ’Ž (if there are not more rules in the challenge). It is only possible to connect one user id to one fediverse account. If the same user id will be posted later, it will be ignored and if you changed your fediverse account, then write a pm on Habitica [to me](https://habitica.com/profile/12631f31-5d3f-4796-b315-ad7115749beb) with your delete request so I can confirm your user id. Please do not share your api id. It is like a password and can be used to access your Habitica account. Only the **user id** should be posted here, so the bot can easily get the ids. No other text or emojis should be added, only the id. A user id looks like this: 12631f31-5d3f-4796-b315-ad7115749beb I've posted my id below as a demo, but no worries, I've excluded myself from winning in my own challenges.

    Currently I am reworking all challenges and the Pomodoro Count challenge will be similar to the Pomodoro Race.

    But there are problems with federation and I have to delete some posts here and it's a bummer that all people have to post their user id again.

    There is an annoying bug on lemmy, which destroys federation if you reinstall it.

    help Lemmy Help Admins: Here's how to delete bot spam users from your Lemmy instance

    And there is another problem!

    After I've created testaccounts and purged them with the command above, I tried to register with the same name, but the website said:

    user_already_exists

    So the users haven't been purged correctly.

    I tried to restart all docker containers, but nothing changed, the user still exists.

    Thanks a lot for this really good tutorial.

    I was trying for a long time to connect to the database, but because I use docker the first time, I didn't know how?

    But there is a little thing that could destroy the whole Lemmy instance.

    The very first command, which deletes all users without a verified email, could delete the admin account, too, because the really first user, which gets created on a freshly installed instance doesn't need a verification.

    To avoid this, I've set the flag of the account, which had my email address in it to 't'. Attention! The very first admin account doesn't have person_id 1. In my case it was 2 (and I don't even know why?):

    UPDATE local_user SET email_verified='t' WHERE person_id=2

    After that I could execute the purge command without problems:

    DELETE FROM local_user WHERE email_verified = 'f';

    Request for other tutorials

    I am not a fan of ghost data or clutter my server with junk data and try to keep it as tidy as possible, but lemmy is a little bit messy if it's about this.

    After I set up an instance, I tried all functionality believing I can easily remove everything (that would be the intuitive way), but that wasn't the case.

    Now I have useless posts and comments, I can't purge from my instance. I only could delete them as a user, but now I see them with a red trash bin beside the post title or with the comment "deleted by user".

    A tutorial on how to purge deleted posts and comments would be very useful. I don't even know where posts are saved. Taking a look into the table "post" shows a lot of posts of other people, but I can't find them on my instance (I am currently the only one posting on my instance). What exactly is going on there? And is it save to delete those, too? Any way to avoid it in the future or is this somehow important?

    πŸŽ₯ Produce a Video | Challenge

    ## Summary Record, edit/cut and publish a video ## Description Video production can get overwhelming if you plan too complex videos and if you invest weeks for a short video it can get too much and you could stagnate. I [created complex videos](https://www.youtube.com/@utopify), but after a few days I had more material on my hard disk than I could cut. It was overwhelming, because my goal was to create high quality videos. For months I didn't publish a video and didn't work a lot on videos. Stagnation and procrastination started. With a simple habit to work on **non-complex and small videos** [like this](https://diode.zone/w/2msD4TTpC37n31RZ5mUqjn), we can get a healthy routine to work on videos again. Let us produce videos together! ## Goals - Occupy yourself with recording, cutting/editing and publishing videos - Create a video - Publish a video no matter if it's good or not ## Rules - You must create at least one video within 7 days - Publish the video and share the link here ## Tasks |Type|Name|Note| |---|---|---| |habit|πŸŽ₯ Publish another video|This might be very hard, but if you publish another video, you can hit the plus| |daily|πŸŽ₯ Video Editing|Occupy yourself with video editing/cutting and publishing.
