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

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

On the homepage lemmy.world, new posts keep appearing at the top even when not sorting by new. This causes annoying layout shift, especially when browsing all communities, not just local ones. (I use Firefox / Win 10)

Creating a new community, and the form is completely filled out, but when I press “create” it circles back to the top of the form. Also what is the difference between Name and Display Name. Name is what it keeps highlighting.

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)

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

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.

I’ve discovered a pattern to my logout error as referred to here: https://lemmy.world/comment/1144382

It occurs specifically when I navigate to a community page, without visiting the homepage first. If I navigate specifically to, for example, lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I’ll be logged out. However, if I visit lemmy.world and then visit lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I’ll be logged in.

I wonder if this is a bug with SameSite in the JWT? Reddit’s token, for example, has a value of None, where Lemmy’s has a value of Strict. I’ve changed that to None for the moment, we’ll see if that changes anything

Some communities aren’t updating on lemmy.world

Specifically, I moderate /c/worldbuilding@lemmy.ml and I noticed that lemmy.world’s side is not updating. No new posts from lemmy.ml’s side, and their side shows 300+ subscribers while mine shows ~80

The button “sorting help” links to a page that 404s:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/01-getting-started.html/docs/en/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

should probably be:

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.

Personally I think when clicking ‘Post’ it takes too long for it to be posted. I will see what I can do about this.

I see a couple other comments about sign up issues and I’m having the same. Don’t see anything in my spam folder, though. Both submit buttons on the sign up/login pages just spin endlessly the last couple days. Someone said they managed to fix it by using “forgot password” on the login page but clicking that button does nothing. name’s same here as on midwest.social.

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.

Was Lemmy.world down just now?
