It could be useful to have sub-communities like Usenet had newsgroup hierarchies. E.g. within c/tools there could be c/tools/drills, c/tools/saws, or whatever. On deaddit (formerly called reddit) they end up making dozens of related top level subreddits scattered around but I think it is good to add some kind of organizational structure.

Someone has probably mentioned it already but Jerboa is giving me this error when trying to use lemmy.world

[–] Ginjutsu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Try out Liftoff in the meantime.

@ruud FYI, not sure if something is backed up between lemmy dot world and the mastodon server I'm on. I follow the c/gunners community from mastodon, and was getting updates in my home feed until yesterday. Posts (like this) are viewable, and can be replied to, by pasting the URL into search, but they're no longer showing up in the home feed.

(edit) and I see the reply shows up on lemmy πŸ€”β€‹

Occasionally the setting to use Subscribed as the default tab is reset (mobile browser version). Perhaps it happens during server restarts?

In any tab, new posts are inserted in real time regardless of the sorting method chosen.

When a post is open, its title and post text are sometimes replaced with those of another post. Comments remain, and reloading fixes that.

I'm experiencing a login issue related to Microsoft Edge on Mac OS.

Upon entering login credentials, the purple LOGGED IN popup box appears in lower left, but I am still not logged in. Upper right still shows SIGN IN. If I try to do anything, it redirects me to login page, credentials are entered, returned to home page again, but not logged in. Repeat ad infinitum.

Chrome and Safari work fine.

Browser: Microsoft Edge.Version 115.0.1901.183 (Official build) (x86_64)

OS: macOS 11.7.8 (20G1351)

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Would deleting the browser cache help in this case?

[–] kimbernator@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps a personal preference, but I find it a lot more intuitive when clicking the post title opens the link to the content (webpage, image, etc) rather than going to the comments. To follow a post's link, I need to click on the "image", and that feels odd.

I've clicked on the logout button several times and I'm still logged in.

v18 released today, when can we expect the update to be rolled out here?

EDIT: Not a demand, just a genuine question, sorry if that came off abrasive

[–] udadu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also latest version of jerboa do not support earlier than v18, had to reinstall jerboa older version.

Hello, you might be interested in Thunder, another Lemmy Android client: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases

[–] wit@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

v18 has not been released yet AFAIK. lemmy.ml is running it, but it has still not been released on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases. From what I have read, however, it is scheduled to be released today/tomorrow.

I have only signed up today, so this may be something I'm doing on my end. But on the home screen, if I sort by "All", as opposed to "subscribed" or "local", after about a minute posts start streaming down the page at a very quick pace. It looks like when people comment on discord. I have tested this on both my phone and pc, and they both do it in my browser (firefox each time). Unfortunatley I cannot screenshot it, since that would just be a static image, and I don't know how to record my screen.

Certain communities seem to be inaccessible from Lemmy.world and vice versa. For instance, if I try to access /c/boston in Lemmy.ml via lemmy.world/c/boston@lemmy.ml, I get a "404: couldnt_find_community" error. Similarly, trying to access /c/boston in Lemmy.world from either Kbin.social (via kbin.social/m/boston@lemmy.world) or Lemmy.ml (via lemmy.ml/c/boston@lemmy.world) both give 404 errors.

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm works for me, I can find it and open it. Maybe lemmy.ml was overloaded?

[–] WooChooTrain@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah possibly! I think the second issue I mentioned is still occurring, though. Namely, lemmy.ml/c/boston@lemmy.world returns a 404 error (and also for Kbin.social).

A couple of things:

None of my posts are showing up in my profile

I just created two new posts. They haven't show up in the community I posted to.

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do see 2 posts, in the College community (and your profile)

Anyone else having issues with login on mobile devices? I can't login at all, but I can normally enter on desktop. Tried in Brave and in Chrome, it doesn't work–after pressing button it keeps loading forever.

EDIT: turns out I kept entering the wrong password entire time. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

[–] Floufym@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I have the same. First time using Lemmy. I register on Lemmy.world but when trying to log in, it just do nothing on mobile, Mozilla, iOS

Here I am writing using Mlem application.

[–] Marko@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I managed to fix the problem; I kept entering wrong password. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Also, what I find weird–when I go to Lemmy.ml and search for the communities, my community is on the list, but when I opet it, it has one post that was deleted, and doesn't have any new posts. It's like the two Lemmy instances aren't synced at all.

Lemmy is riddled with bugs that are making it hard to use.

Running fine for me on mobile chrome right now. Which I know doesn't really help you but it's a data point at least

Desktop UI optimization would be nice. As it stands currently the site is using maybe 1/3 of my screen real estate and makes everything look super cramped/condensed.

I don't know if it a bug or not, but my Posts are nowhere to be found in my profile.

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You probably have deselected the 'Show read posts' option in your settings.

[–] rr7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Doh, you are right. Thanks! πŸ™

Communities that have been broken due to the bug regarding remote moderators are still unusable from outside lemmy.world, breaking federation: https://lemmy.world/post/209377

Assistance is needed from the administrators for all such communities.

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please DM me if there's a broken community and I'll fix it.

[–] sparky@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, there are a number of them. I’ll DM you a list. (For future reference, do you have to fix this manually in Postgres?)
