EDIT: it seems that this is a known bug and will be fixed in the next release! Thank you guys for letting me know

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3090#issuecomment-1591009865

Lemmy.World is running amazing for the amount of users that is has but when I am trying to scroll, every 2 seconds the post im looking at gets shoved to the bottom, with Lemmy skyrocketing in popularity, having the new posts appear on the front page constantly is making it very hard to browse.

Does anyone know if there is a way I can stop that? Or do we just have to wait for an update?

I want to add that I love lemmy and I will continue to use it anyways! The community here is so much better than reddit and with the protest going on reddit is a dumpster fire of toxicity right now.

In all fairness to the devs, Lemmy's had a dozen users + the devs until now, then /u/spez pulls his stunt, and we're looking at how it operates with 0.0000000000001% of Reddit, which is apparently 20-bajillion people.

Yeah im not dissing or anything, I understand lemmy is still in its infancy

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago (2 children)

More like a teenager with their first job.

This week, Lemmy becomes a man.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah thats a better way to put it, I keep forgetting than lemmy is like 2 or 3 years old already!

Great, hopefully they roll it out soon.

Now we need some traction on Kbin’s biggest issue: the inability to collapse threads of comments

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

That's a major bug. They need a lot of work with federation also. Hope they can sort this out. It's great to have federation in future.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

There is traction, and in fact already a fix in review.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah WTF is that?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Thanks for letting me know!

Update is coming. It's a known issue

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there an ETA? Lemmy is basically unusable so long as it's front page is a mess

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The workaround for me is to refresh and scroll down when it happens

It's a bug they're working on.

It's also annoying when it refreshes the post that you're commenting on and makes you comment on a different post.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thought I was the only one getting this!

Another one I keep getting is the timeout error.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This too.

And sometimes it momentarily shows my profile link as though I were logged in as another user.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I had that. Right after I logged in it briefly displayed another user's avatar where mine would go (I have none).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I assume this is on the website? I haven't had this happen on jerboa.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

try switching your default view to Subscribed / Hot

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Change your default view from All/new to Subscribed/active.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's not my issue, no matter what I select the new posts still appear constantly.

My problem right now is that even sorting by Hot on 'all' of Lemmy.world, almost all of the posts are a day old. It feels off and it's been the same posts for the last 8 hours or so. Is this because of beehaw doing their thing or what?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

It's a bug being fixed in the next release.

Worth noting, it's a full 24 hours later and this post is still close to the top of the "hot" sorting. Lemmy's algorithm is not good.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For people browsing on Kbin: this is the first federated posts I've seen on here, am I missing something obvious that tells me this is a post hosted on a different service? As far as I can tell this could have just been any other post on Kbin, which is cool but I'd love it to be clearer that it's not. It even says "kbin.social" under the title. (I'm on mobile if that makes a difference).

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

As a Lemmy user, I believe the way to tell is when looking at the top, you should see the user@instance, and it is posted to "[email protected]", this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it's abit confusing, but say "[email protected]" is how it should show for Lemmy users

Edit: and speaking of the "first time I've seen a federated post", I heard kbin.social turned off federation since it was getting overloaded with users, much less other instances. It'll slowly get better

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

We don't have that here on Kbin, at least not by default, maybe there's a setting I've not turned on. Your username shows as just "mitchacho74", no @ stuff unless I click into your profile.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I'm registered in lemmy.world and you appear to me as DannySpud and nothing else. If I click in your profile I can see that you're @[email protected]. However I see the full username for other lemmy users (from different instances)

I'll be very happy when this update gets rolled out.

Talking about bugs, any word on when there will be a fix for the upvote count wildly jumping around on posts?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Yeah but now us people at kbin can see what you're up to. hi!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I saw the title and thought huh, it's working ok for me, then realized that it's from Lemmy. We're federated woot! For people on Lemmy.world, kbin.social is also having problems from the new influx of people. Different problems, but problems.

Commenting from Kbin here!

While I also created a lemmy.world account, I have been unable to sign in for over 24 hours, the little circle on the button just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning.
But right at this moment I can see the enormous potential of this federated network, and am now officially impressed.

Anyway... is my inability to log in with my new lemmy.world account due to the massive traffic spike and overload?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had the same problem with lemmy.world. Turns out I just had to click the link in the confirmation email which ended up in my spam. After that logging in works fine.

Most likely yeah, Ive noticed that the my posts and stuff seem like they take forever to post on my end but if I refresh the page it always posts instantly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Try the gerboa android client

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Just for clarity in case anybody wants to download. It's Jerboa and can be downloaded from Fdroid, Play store or git hub APK.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Currently using this as it's impossible on mobile browser for me. It's nice and clean, but could definitely use some QoL features. Or I just haven't figured out navigating yet, either is possible.

I was reading a post and before I got to the comment section the entire post switched to another one.
