This is hilarious. On my Desktop, which is quickly becoming my preferred interface for the moment, I just keep opening new tabs and letting it work when I post so I can move on with reading other content.
I ain’t even mad. You’ve got a good heart, soldier.
It also HIGHLY depends where you sign up. Over at feddit I couldn’t login to browser on PC anymore, couldn’t change my password, which in turn fucked up my login process overall (aka being stuck with Safari and the App I already was logged in), updates aren’t made and a lot of shit is blocked or defederated because of reasons (some even make a lot of sense, so no hard feelings here).
To be fair, it seems like some users on Lemmy.world had the same problems with logins last week. We are still in the try things out until something sticks phase.
This is why you shouldn’t serve an open server from home. If you serve your feddit from your house, it’s ok if it’s for you and your kids. But if you add more than that, I wonder if it just stops. I serve my photo server for my personal use and it makes struggling noises when I look at the images. I picked a cheap 100 HP mini desktop to try this on so I’m not surprised. So imagine if 100 people wanted a 20MB image from the server’s HDD.
Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.
Yeah I’m much more forgiving for this platform when it just had a crazy influx of users. In fact, I’m actively participating more because I feel like my voice matters a little bit more then it did on Reddit and I want to see this community thrive
I’ve been happy to see comments like this over the past week. I was wondering how many lurkers and decent people were left on Reddit these days. It just turned into such a shit show. I’m glad the good people are still around and now hopefully we’re all safer and more welcomed over here.
The community sizes here at the current time definitely allow for more user to user interaction. It’s much harder for your voice to get lost in an overwhelming sea of useless comments as it tends to in the larger Reddit subs.
