Can I just quickly mention that I for one really appreciate the work done by @ruul to keep this instance working as well as it does , thank you.

I am very new to Lemmy.world. I have noticed though there is no icon displayed on firefox for the bookmark (but there is for Chrome / DuckDuckGo browser).

Edit 2023-07-02 - For me this appears to have been fixed :)

Federation not always working; Apparently not everything gets synced all the time. This needs troubleshooting.

I thought I was suffering from this, but then I added English to my profile languages, and suddenly many posts on other instances that I could not see before were now visible.

I think lemmy.world need to up the “Federation worker count” under the server settings. The more data that needs to be federated, the higher this number should be.

First off, thanks for running this! It is spectacular how quickly this took off once the Reddit Apocalypse started. Second, anybody having problems upvoting/downvoting on the main page? I click the arrow to vote and it flashes, but then it goes back to gray. If I go into the actual post, I can vote okay, but not from the main page.

Dear @ruud@lemmy.world ,

From my personal opinion, i would like to add 2 QoL improvements.

• The ability to go back to the community pages, with clicking on the empty area of a thread ( maybe like what Reddit implements ). The reason is that we can quickly navigate to another post
• A Scroll to Top / Back to Top Button

But this is just a suggestion based on my personal experience using Lemmy

Thank you :D

The hot sort appears to be frozen for the last 24 hrs. The top posts on all or local haven’t changed in nearly a day. There appears to be a bug causing a deadlock in the database (see issue 3076 for more info). The only solution seems to be to restart the instance when that thread crashes.

Would love the ability to set a time for a post to publish. I’ve been posting a lot of news articles to /c/texas and I don’t want users to feel like its spamming. If I could set a publish time that would be awesome

This post is on a beehaw community. Started by a lemmy.world user. As I understand it is on our local copy of the community that got pulled before the de-federation and only our users should be able to post on it.

Already that would be bad in my opinion since the copy is unmoderated and isolated. However it appears that some users replying are actually from other instances (not beehaw of course). This can only create confusion and further ‘issues’ with beehaw.

Some issues I’ve seen, mostly related to interactions with mastodon. I generally use Mastodon more so I’ve been playing with it.

1. I can follow a lemmy community on my mastodon account but all the posters do not show their avatar. (actually i just checked again and my avatar shows up, but others don’t, so perhaps there is a long delay?)

2. I replied to a lemmy post on mastodon, and it showed up in lemmy, but when I’m logged in to lemmy and I try to post a reply to that it never publishes, the “post” button becomes the spinner and never makes the reply. This post for reference. This is the only one that feels like a bug.

3. when someone on another lemmy instance makes a post on our community, a mastodon toot goes out, but it links to their post on their community. It makes it a little odd to follow a link and it takes me to another instance than the one hosting the community. Maybe this isn’t a bug, just kinda annoying, kinda fediverse in general it’s tough to bounce between instances. Example. Ok making that link, it’s clear that the “post” originated from the instance. I guess this is just how it works. Message Board systems are a bit more tricky than twitter-style systems.

4. When I make a post, it’s got a warning Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content. and I have no idea what this is talking about.

5. I wish the community page would let me sort the rows by Subscribers.

I’ve noticed that despite setting my default view to “All” in the user settings, my default view on the home page appears to be local.

It’s not the worst thing ever, since hitting All is not a problem, just interesting it doesn’t seem to work, unless I’m missing something!

Edit: It appears to have fixed itself, so maybe there was some time for the setting to kick in, although the local tab shows highlighted.

On opening a new tab or window with a lemmy instance, I frequently find that I am not intially logged in. I am logged in, and refreshing the page a few times affirms this. It does not necessarily require a cacheless refresh (ctrl+f5). It also occurs regardless of what lemmy instance I’m browsing.

This started immediately after the hackening event of the other day. I’ll play with what’s in site storage in firefox later on and see what happens.

Edit: Ok something very odd just happened. I did the refresh thing and it briefly showed me logged in as @andybug@lemmy.world, for reasons unknown. It didn’t stay logged in as (s)he, but very briefly flashed it as such.

Edit2: I deleted cache, webtoken, and other detritus in firefox, and refreshed the page to login again. I logged in, and the site served me the logged-out homepage until I refreshed again. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit3: I was logged out completely this morning. No explanation as to why as yet, I’ll test tomorrow and see what browser storage looks like

I scanned through the comments here and I don’t think it’s been mentioned yet, but I would love, love, love to have an option added to settings to open links in a new tab (or possibly windows if some people would prefer that). The current behavior is to open in the current tab, which I am so unaccustomed to I keep closing the tab when I’m done with it rather than hitting the back arrow.

It’s quite jarring to not open in a new tab these days, especially for external links.

(I’m going to put one feature/issue in each comment to make it easier to discuss each topic individually, hope that’s ok)

Enhancement requests: Again, might be better addressed lemmy-wide, but as a mod, I think there is no way to “sticky” or “pin” a reply to an existing thread, so that it stays at the top. This would be useful for “official” replies in the voice of a moderator, and I imagine it will be useful in future if mods ever need to lock posts and have to explain why.

So I’ve made 3 posts now and chose pictures to upload. Everytime it takes my photo and turns it sideways on the post. I’ve noticed that if I go to my gallery and edit the photo I’ll rotate it and save it as a copy. I’ll then rotate it back so it’s the correct oriention and save it as a copy again. I’ll then make a post using that copy of the new photo that I rotated twice and the photo will upload in the correct orientation. I think this is a Lemmy issue overall because it happened over 2 instances.
