Forget the backend! I just want the frontend not to crap itself whenever it can't fetch the site icon!
A new front-end is coming too. We need a new front-end to support all the new features we’re adding.
Have you tried any of the web client alternatives ("Web" filter): https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/ ?
Yeah, I run Photon on base domain because I couldn't count on lemmy-ui.
The Photon developer is assisting with the development of the new front-end :)
That's good news. Hopefully they'll get let you change your avatar in that new UI because that's one of the weirdly missing Photon features.
We have our own engineers working on it with him along with the developer of pangora. It's a full collaborative effort to make the best we can.
It's like the Avengers are gathering
No kidding. I'm an Ops guy and I've hosted hundreds of web applications professionally and for fun over the years but Lemmy has been one of the more frustrating and brittle experiences I've had.
I've figured out a few of the quirks by now but I definitely spent a whole afternoon troubleshooting why the front end wouldn't load at all only to discover the real issue was with Pict-rs.
Mine had accumulated 420MB of cookie data the other day. Had to clear it before I could log in. I thought the instance was dead.
