A technical disaster, but sure, I’ll keep coming back. Can’t wait to reminisce about the days when it was a technical disaster, though.

Also, posted from my PC, because doing anything on Jerboa has proven impossible.

    It’s annoying, but kinda funny. I’m much more patient with fediverse bugs because I know that well-intentioned people are working to fix them, and volunteering their time, money, and effort to do so. This is a stark contrast to commercial sites, where actual fixes take a backseat to bleeding as much money/personal information as possible from their user base.

    All kinds of things have started straining with just how much load lemmy world is taking on. The less popular instances seem quite alright, and I’m using jerboa too. What’s your version?

      Can confirm. I was on lemmy.world at first started having issues. Moved to a friend’s instance a few weeks back and all those problems went away.

      I’m on 0.0.39, I think it updated fairly recently. I clear cache/storage when it decides to act fucky, and sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn’t. Haven’t been able to post from my phone in a bit, which can be annoying when I think of something really funny to say, but it’s probably for the best because presumably I’m the only one who thinks it’s funny.

        You could try moving to a different instance. Something off the 3-10 largest instances should be fine. Your hot feed is populated based on the instances interaction with other instances’ interaction iirc

    I think this is probably being caused by the larger instances aggressively caching pages to reduce load. That hasn’t happened on my personal instance at all.

    If that’s the case, then the only way to really correct it is to change the caching.

      And I don’t mean to cast any aspersions on anyone involved in bringing this whole experience about. It is far beyond my minimal technical abilities (using lines in Paint is pretty much it for me) to be building something like this. So the way you talk, I’m on board, and I’m sure there will be some consensus about how to solve the issues, but until then, I’m gonna crack wise, because is that not why the internet was made, for general shit talking and porn?

    Lemmy,world I had to clear site cookies and login in a couple times, a couple days ago. Seems fine now.

    Jerboa is fine now too.

    Hey, you might want to clear your browser cache. Seemed to solve everything for me. Also, Jerboa is going through rapid development right now, so maybe log out of it and back in? That fixed problems with it for me, too.

      Yeah, I do it on my phone, clear storage and cache, for Jerboa, to mixed results. Works sometimes, not others. Browser seems to be hit and miss as well. Like I said, just having some fun poking at it.

      Wefwef has been amazing for me from day 1. I’m very pleased with it and excited to see it do well.

    Have you tried using another instance? lemmy.world is a bit overloaded rn. This is a good resource for finding instances.

    Pretty much same as mine. I wonder if this will get posted or I need to login first.
