1. It’s buggy. Submitting a post sometimes takes half a second, and sometimes it takes 30 seconds. Logs show a plethora of errors. The Docker container will eventually crash and restart. It’s all part of the Lemmy instance admin experience.

2. No options to collapse/customize side panels.

3. UI doesn’t refresh after saving settings.

4. Settings aren’t sticky from page to page on occasion.

If I could code I’d pitch in and help. Heck, I’d learn, but the documentation is pretty sparse.

Mom’s spaghetti

If this runs on Oracle we’re all gonna be just fine. It’s one of the slowest, clunkiest products ever made.

It’ll be unavailable on Sundays.

I’m an instance owner and mod. I’ll describe what we see.

Like anyone else, I can check a post or comment and see the upvote and downvote counts. If I click on a specific menu item by a post or comment I can also see who voted which way.

I check it often and to date have only banned two users, out of thousands, who were consistently downvoting posts. These bot accounts were literally voting within seconds of the post going federated.

It’s a useful feature on my end and I think others should be able to see it.

When it’s someone else’s dumb thing it’s better for sure

I got a pair for my buddy and I. I’ve got nothing bad to say about them. The battery life on monitor is outstanding.

Still true though. I’m distro-agnostic, running the best whatever for the job at hand.

When I give a presentation at a conference about something technical, the question always comes up: “Why are you running that on so-and-so? $Distro is so much better…” and their whole train of thought deviates from the subject at hand.

Point is, the tool is the tool. If Fedora is the best option given our licenses and use scenario, I don’t need to hear about how much better xyz is and how we’re wasting money.

I just want xyz to work. I don’t need the distro wars to be a thing when I’ve got 6 other more important things to attend to.

Backblaze is a great backup solution. They publish drive stats and even show you the hardware they use.

Did your computer lose its bios settings lately? Check to see if it’s set to ahci and not raid if using a single, non-raid disk.

Good luck

The simulation keeps on churning…

FYI: There’s currently an open issue with crossposting on instances using the 0.19.4 lemmy ui.

In a nutshell, the post submission page reloads after it retrieves the community to crosspost to, so everything but the selected community is wiped out.

It’s a bug in 0.19.4. I opened a GitHub issue for this in the lemmy-ui repo.

It’s confirmed here on Firefox on instance daring.lemmy.fan. You should file a bug on the lemmy-ui GitHub.

Edit: If you don’t want to or whatever let me know and I will be happy to do so.

Oblig. XKCD:

Try using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 as the external DNS in your router for testing. Does it work then?

Also, you may have DNS cached somewhere. You can flush your Windows DNS cache by typing ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt.

Fuckin autocorrect was the death of us all.

Subscribe pending and joined pretty much mean the same thing right now. I think it’s a bug but I’m not sure. I do know that Subscribe Pending instances work.

Old posts aren’t federated. As new posts roll in, they’ll start appearing.

I setup my lemmy log to go to a file as opposed to the console. Then it’s searchable, archiveable, etc.
