Hey all, just wondering if I’m missing something or just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how federation works. I spun up a small docker instance for myself in order to interact with federated lemmy without bogging down the existing servers. I am noticing that although I am subscribed to a lot of communities, some of them don’t seem to be updating. I know that my instance will only fetch new posts and comments from the communities I’m subscribed to, but even those are not being updated. Some communities seem to be working, but others just aren’t updating. Is there a requirement that I’m not meeting to be able to fetch new data? Appreciate any ideas, thank you!
It seems like you can select everything in the admin panel, which is what I did. But only the languages that have actually appeared in your instance will show as options in the individual user settings, so I was only able to select Undetermined and English on my user. Anyway, the devs should format the language lists as checkboxes, that would have completely solved the issue since I would have known from the start that I could select multiple things. My browsing experience just got exponentially better!
Huzzah! 🎊
Glad I could help! 😄
Yes, the UI has some usability issues that need to be addressed. I would recommend filing bugs / enhancement requests on the project issues page in GitHub. Development is very active over there, and I’m sure they appreciate all the feedback.
Done!
