This is one of the few communities I use lemmy for so far, the others are dying and I don't have time yet to post more on my own
I want to point out that Lemmy is actually super active right now, but unfortunately there is a bug in 0.17.4 that stops front pages from updating shortly after the server is restarted, thus resulting in "hot" showing very old posts for example.
I have fixed this issue on https://lemm.ee already, you can check our front page to see fresh posts. The fix will soon land in the main Lemmy codebase as well so other instances can take advantage, you can track the issue here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076
I have also advised other instance admins that regularly restarting their Lemmy server will work as a band-aid workaround until the proper fix is released, so some admins have already implemented this in order to get their post rankings working again (but unfortunately for you, it seems sopuli.xyz has not done this workaround yet).
Ah, I was wondering why newer posts weren't showing up.
It is pretty unfortunate because that's a rather serious bug, it gives the impression that Lemmy is less active than it actually is which is not great for newer users unaware of the bug.
edit: I'm not sure if it applies to "active" or just "hot", still not great though.
edit 2: Apparently it does apply to "active" as well, interesting.
Let's hope it's patched shortly.
This is so cool; thank u for the hard work ❣️ I personally use the sopuli domain on jerboa app & sort by comment novelty so all's smooth sailings for me ⛵ ^•^ I sort it this way so I can contribute actively :))
Does it affect "active" or just "hot"?
It affects active as well unfortunately
I guess that's a good thing and a bad thing - it means Lemmy is really more active than it appears so that's good, but it's also a bad thing because the timing of this bug with so many new users is not good lol
I KNEW IT!
Felt super weird seeing posts from over a day old, it's like they haven't changed.
Hey man, I appreciate the information - was wondering why the sorting was borked lately. I’ll keep an eye out for the update and occasionally restart my instance
It seems i chose my server... wisely
Edit: how can i donate to lemm.ee, i guess i should throw in my buck o' five.
Much appreciated! There are two options: either GitHub sponsorships or Ko-Fi.
