the good news: we’re now on the newest stable lemmy!

the bad news: federation feels a little off to me? sometimes this is a federation queue thing that resolves itself, sometimes it’s an indication of a problem.

things to test if you want to help out:

  • see if you can see your posts on other lemmy and mastodon instances
  • post here from other instances
  • see if you can load communities, threads, and comments in non-local communities (this is a big one)
  • see if you can load our communities from other instances and see up-to-date threads and comments
  • make sure your own profile settings are as they should be
  • if you aren’t getting email notifications and should be, let me know

I’ll push all my changes and post a full changelog once we know 0.19.12’s running stable!

    Nobody:

    Absolutely no one:

    Not a single soul on this earth:

    Lemmy: Oh hey I know what the people want! A screen full of web-dev’s worst design sin of the 2010s every time they navigate back to the main page.

    An image of a bunch of content placeholders (a.k.a.) skeleton screens. This is an animated block of grey that covers page contents to indicate that it is still loading

      god somehow it’s even worse in the inbox — the whole thing turns to a gigantic placeholder every time you mark a post as read. it’s such a React problem for software to have

      an undetermined mystery: me refreshing my recent-comments feed (my default/home view) which had this post showing up also suddenly shifted font size

      all hail the jank

      (…I’ll try dig into it but also Fuck HTML Fuck Browsers (I’m not in the mood for applicable lemmy invectives))

      Urgh. Well, happy to learn that at least I’m not the only one who really dislikes that kind of design element.

    Oh, federation is broken, the thing that means strangers wander over here and think they’re allowed to just pop off with shit takes? Whatever will we do??

    my lemmy came preconfigured for eyes? where we’re going we don’t need eyes

    image description

    one of the new buttons on the lemmy post list toolbar is a button cluster where one button is an eye logo and the other is a no eye logo and no eye is selected and I don’t know what that means

    Welcome back, and thank you for your hard work.

    I dunno if federation works because I don’t give a flying toss about it myself, sorry!

      Is that the feature that lures in funny idiots that can’t read the description of the purpose of this place and have to be banned for trying to turn it into debate club?

    New Lemmy version: objectively does look sleeker and more modern

    Me: I hate change 😠

    But also everything looks… Slightly enlarged? And now things don’t fit in one row on my phone anymore where they previously did.

    (I know, you can’t do anything about that, just shaking my fist at the sky)

        you might be seeing the new version of Lemmy in bits and pieces as your browser grabs the new stylesheet (cachebusting should have prevented this? note to self to make sure that’s not broken again)

        so anyway welcome to the new, uglier Lemmy that’s larger in general but somehow worse on mobile

          there are also at least two new theme variants (and 3 fondled theme variants) to choose from

          (I have no idea if they’re any good I’m just speaking from diff-eyeball recollection here)

    On both mobile (safari and chrome) and browser (firefox) I occasionally get a thing where all the posts are massively oversized. It goes away when I refresh.

      Having seen the problem a few more times I can elaborate more clearly now. All the icons get temporarily massive oversized while the text actually stays the same size. I’ve only had it occur once on my computer browser, but it reoccurs regularly on my safari mobile browser, with a refresh fixing it each time.

        Can you try clearing the browser cache? Issues disappearing after a refresh sounds like it may be cache related

          I don’t have a guaranteed way to recreate the issue, so I’m not absolutely sure, but that seems to have fixed it!
