I just hopped on today and the site is very unusable right now

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.

... and get very confused, thinking "kbin seems to be working OK". My brain does not cope well with unexpected refederation, apparently. Hello Lemmy!

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.

What problems?

Sorry, im kinda outta the loop and just signed up today.. Havent noticed any bugs yet though!

I been getting 503 error messages every once in a while. It usually resolves after a few minutes. There are also a few bugs with comments not appearing in federated instances, which makes sense since it's not complete yet. I'm pretty pleased overall.

Yeah, it's neat finally seeing the federation work there. Hopefully it helps with the fragmentation of the userbase.

Ironically, still some issues with the federation, so we can see them but they can't see us. We're in the walls.

Rogue_General,

I can see you from lemmy.world

Testing testing 1 2 3... can you see me from Kbin while posting on Lemmy.world from another Kbin account?

slapmefive,
@slapmefive@lemmy.world avatar

I see you with my elf eyes

skillissuer,

didn't want to start new thread for this so: second page of content never loads for me, and lots of posts/comments that i would expect in my profile and some communities, especially non-local simply don't show up. anyone else has the same issue?

jcb2016_,

@Rick look for an Android app here https://joinfediverse.wiki/Apps and you should be fine. The scrolling is cause of the site specifically. The apps control it

Guy_Fieris_Hair,

The only android app there is Lemur, which is unmaintainted. Jerboa in the paystore is the way now. It works decent and the scrolling only happens on desktop.

jcb2016_,

@Guy_Fieris_Hair I have a Lemmy account but my man is in mastodon and I can interact with . How they make the app really nice

NabiscoShredderWheat,

It's almost as if Lemmy was a thing with a dozen or so users plus devs at most just a few days ago and is doing what they can with the influx of people. Be patient. And stop bitching. Nobody is forcing you to be here.

branchial,

Rude

GatoB,

You can say the same thing in a more respectful manner

hardypart,

OP's comment does not contain any bitching. He's just asking. No need to be pissy.

WhatASave,

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?

Hy34x,

No, I have the same problem. It is why I usually check only local or subscribed communities

danc4498,

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.

Hedup,

It's a bug in a sense that it disrupts your viewing of the page - it puts those new posts (which shouldn't even be there because of the Top sort option I'm using) at the start of the page, thus pushing everything down. Countless times I have clicked one thing and was taken to completely another website because the page pushed everything downwards at the same moment.

notun,

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

Richie,

I can be typing out a reply to a comment in a post, and then all of a sudden the post has switched to an entirely new one and now the comment that I'm replying to is something entirely different. Clearly this isn't intentional, no? Because I'm genuinely having a hard time using Lemmy as a whole because of this.

My comments also just infinitely spin, making me think that it didn't get submitted, and so I have to constantly refresh the page.

falconfetus8,

Why are people talking about this like this is a bug that can just be patched? I'm reading the comments in this thread, and it's like everyone's talking about a completely different thing. Am I crazy?

It's obviously not a bug, unless you consider "there is no way to turn off auto updates" to be a bug. The GitHub link doesn't mention anything about adding a toggle, though. It's talking about fixing some kind of deadlock in the database that was causing the homepage to stop refreshing. That is the exact opposite of what OP is asking for!

Rick,

It is a bug, when scrolling your top posts, you are not supposed to see new posts as well its supposed to be only top posts.

falconfetus8,

Oh, wait, do you mean "new" as in "from the new section"? I thought OP meant it as in "newly created"

Rick,

I am the OP lol, but I think I may have just worded it weirdly. I just meant that no matter what page you are viewing, new posts appear and pushes existing posts down.

bcbane,

If you have ios join the Memmy TestFlight group and use the app. Infinitely better experience

gutter_fudder,

Unfortunately it is claiming the beta is full :(

Br0adbean,

Mlem was full for me. I managed join Memmy less than 24 hours ago though.

@dystop@lemmy.world avatar

Oh u e been getting this error too. That, and sometimes posts will go through but the "reply" button still spins and it looks like I haven't posted the content.

HorseFD,

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?

AwkwardPapaya,

I can see you from sh.itjust.works!

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?

logmathr,

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.

AnyOldName3,
@AnyOldName3@lemmy.world avatar

I'm having the same issue on my desktop, but I'm logged in and able to write this comment from Jerboa. I definitely did the confirmation email. Something's definitely broken.

Rick,

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

DannySpud,

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).

mitchacho74,

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 "lemmy.world@lemmy.world", this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it's abit confusing, but say "gaming@kbin.social" 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

DannySpud,

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.

necrxfagivs,

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 @DannySpud. However I see the full username for other lemmy users (from different instances)

c2h6,

Oh that's interesting. Kbin doesn't quite work the same?

necrxfagivs,

I'm not sure, is part of the fediverse so we can interact (in the same way that mastodon users can read and reply to lemmy posts), but it's a different project with different code. Communities are called Magazines there, and there's also a microblogging functionality. I've lurked a bit kbin.social, but I won't create an account if I can use this one.

It also appears to not be fully federated or something.

c2h6,

Hmm federation has its pros, but I wonder how many communities are so splintered across different instances that they haven't had a chance to grow yet...

necrxfagivs,

Yes, reddit has a similar problem (there's usually a few communities for any given theme), but being all of them on the same webpage makes it easier to browse and discover.

c2h6,

Yeah, new users aren't going to be able to find communities easily here.

tjhart85,
tjhart85 avatar

Yeah, that's a bit weird .... kind of cool too, like we're all just part of a big party with no initial way to divide without specifically looking. With that said, the possibilities of duplicates are high and the opportunity for fuckery is even higher, lol

falconfetus8,

I tried kbin, but I left it behind when I realized I couldn't tell the difference between federated and non federated posts.
