Lemmy.world improvements and issues - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
In this post I will list the known issues or possible improvements for Lemmy.world. Please comment with any issue or area for improvement you see and I will add it here. Issues can be: - Local (lemmy.world) (also performance issues) - Lemmy software issues - Other software related (apps/Fediverse platforms etc) - Remote server related - (User error? …) ## Known issues ### Websockets issues There are some issues with the Websockets implementation used in Lemmy, which handles the streaming. Websockets will be removed in version 0.18 so let’s hope these issues will be all gone then! - Top posts page gets a stream of new posts ? Websockets issue - You’re suddenly in another post than you were before > Websockets issue - Your profile will briefly display another name/avatar in the top right corner ### Spinning wheel issues Error handling is not one of Lemmy’s strongpoints. Sometimes something goes wrong, but instead of getting an error, the button will have a ‘spinning wheel’ that lasts until eternity. These are some of the known cases: - You want to create an account but the username is already taken - You want to create an account but the username is too long (>20 characters) - You want to create an account but the password is too long - You want to create a community but the name is already taken - You want to create a community but the name is not in all lowercase letters - You want to create a post over 2000 characters - You want to post something in a language that isn’t allowed in the community ## Enhancement requests - Can themes be added? > To be checked if this can be done without changing code.

    edit: Ohh… but beehaw.org is blocking lemmy.world So what would that mean for lemmy.world? Would the normal behavior be that we can see the thread’s main post but not any comment?! I thought it was the other way around though, that they don’t get any content from lemmy.world but lemmy.world can still fetch theirs.

    No, the block goes both ways. Lemmy.world cannot see anything on beehaw.org, and beehaw.org cannot see anything on lemmy.world.

    Think of it in terms of one user blocking another on a regular social network.

      We’re all still learning, but check your facts before posting this type of info so you don’t add to confusion about defederation.
      @sss had it right. We can still see posts from beehaw, just not comments. If we comment on the posts or make our own posts, they only show up on [email protected] and won’t go to beehaw. And syncing seems to be about 3 hours behind there, but that could just be the general sync issues right now, unclear.
