I’ve been running polls all week where people just upvote comment A or comment B for their preference. Today right after I posted the new poll, I had someone comment they had voted on A. I checked back again a few minutes later and I still showed no upvote in A. After a few more minutes, still no upvote showing, so I replied they may have forgot to upvote their choice because I didn’t see any upvote.
They responded back their vote was showing, along with a few other upvotes I also didn’t see. I refreshed the post a few times, and also exited the p of st and went back in, but it still just showed the original 1 upvote from me posting the comment. In another app, I verified what the other user said, that there were a number of upvotes. I happened to notice when collapsing the comment thread, that DID show the correct count, but when I expanded it, it still just showed one vote. Exiting Summit completely and opening it again DID fix the tally, so I think there is a discrepancy in the refresh of the count.
Not a huge issue, but I just noticed since I was running a poll and checking progress, but it seemed worthy of a bug report. I’m still very new to Summit, so if it’s user error, or some setting I have wrong could be it as well.
Expanded Count
Collapsed Count
I have noticed this, too. I think the app doesn’t regularly refresh the post and comment vote tallies. If I view the same post in the app and in a browser the post’s vote tally (and all its comments’ tallies) often are out of date.
Fancy running into you here, fellow SuperbOwl-er!
I was also feeling there’s some lag in when one of your guys replies shows up in my inbox vs when it shows up in the actual thread. Not too bad normally since Summit at least shows me what thread you’re replying about, but if I need more context than just the one post, sometimes I have to refresh a time or 2.
Overall very positive experience with just using Summit full time for 2 days now. I had been using Liftoff since coming to Lemmy, but I hear rumor a Lemmy server update is going to break it soon due to the dev taking time off for family stuff, so I was in a scramble for something to make media intense posts easily. Really the only minor “complaint” I have so far is the icon to insert a pic into a post body is too far to the right and I have to scroll to get it, but once it’s scrolled it stays there. For me anyway I usually dont post without including at least 1 pic, so that’s a nit pick for how I use Lemmy. Skimming the dev goals post here, it seems more of that UI customization is on the way though.
Reordering comment/post format tools actually wasn’t on the roadmap. I’ll add it.
That’d be super snazzy. You’re doing a great job with the app!
Thanks for the report. Vote/score caching still has some problems. This issue looks like a special case cache issue for posts/comments where you’ve voted. I’ll look into this for the next update.
Thank you so much!
