I haven’t refreshed, but have left the tab open and backgrounded in Safari since I posted. I get alerts on the page when I resurface the tab and can reply and see messages.

so it’s specifically a refresh thing.

disabling AdGuard didn’t fix it.

 

Steps:

  • Login to Beehaw.
  • See your username in the account dropdown.
  • Reload/Refresh the page.
  • Account dropdown has become a Login link.

Notes

I’m running Latest Safari on iPadOS and iOS 18+ The problem has been happening for months so include 17 in that list of versions.

I do use AdGuard / uBlock, but I don’t have this issue with other web apps. I will test with it disabled and report back.

it is Monday and I can't get anything done because people won't stop pestering me in Slack. Only 2.5 more hours to go until I am released from my bondage to go forth into the world and unleash... well, not much really. Maybe the week will pick up...

thanks! Still happy to be here. :)

how do I downvote shit here?

[–] boolean@beehaw.org 1 points 5 months ago

yeah, this. I hope they can recover, but it’ll be an uphill battle convincing instances to refederate with it.

sorry, I’m testing. I had “Undetermined” and “Français” as language selections. Added “English” and checking my language.

[–] boolean@beehaw.org 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

my replies are all showing up as “Français”. Except I’m writing in English. What?

my options in “Select language” are Undetermined and Français as options. Anyway to set a Default?

how was I not in there? Thank you!

[–] boolean@beehaw.org 5 points 5 months ago

so nice, thanks for the helpful suggestions.

Honestly, when I wrote my post this morning I didn’t really expect to get any answers and these have all been great.

Thank you @mox@lemmy.sdf.org and all who’ve replied. This feels like a great space.

I had some replies showing as French language, they might not be showing up for you. Sorry, I’m new!

[–] boolean@beehaw.org 4 points 5 months ago

hi there. I'm new. I've recently migrated from kbin.social (RIP) in the hopes of filling that big empty hole in my webs that reddit left after The Troubles.

First impressions after a week of use:

  • Beehaw feels a little lonely. Not a lot of activity. Same posts on my subscriptions front page throughout the day with little movement on upvotes and comments. It's the summer in the north so maybe people have better things to do with their time, but I am wondering, does it pick up?
  • Fewer users than kbin? It feels like there are smaller numbers on the Communities subscriptions than I'm used to on kbin. Granted, kbin was inundated with spammers and bot accounts over the last couple of months so those numbers are probably not as real as I'd like them to be, and I appreciate Beehaw's limits on new members by pushing a signup form and a review process. A social network needs users though.
  • Subscribing across instances feels weird. Maybe it's the instance (lemmy.ca) but I tried following a couple of communities from there and my subscription was marked "Pending". Are we defederated?

So, my Ask is this: Do you have any recommendations for a newbie at Beehaw to make the most of my experience here? Are there any non-obvious Communities I should join? I'm looking for friends and fun. Where do?
