CH3DD4R_G0B-L1NIs outbound federation a known issue?
I've just tested inbound from sh.itjust.works and it was instantaneous. But my outbound posts that have worked take hours and none have succeeded for days.

I dunno. Can't see any of that in Lemmy. So I'll have to test if it's our outbound or sh.it's inbound.
Understood. I'm not just trying to get content to sh.itjust.works, though. outbound from here to .ml, kbin, and fedia have all failed. I'll test kbin inbound.
kbin is not instantaneous. It has not appeared and I assume, due to instability, is likely lost. If it comes through I will update with time.
The kbin test comment posted there 4 hours ago according to time stamps. So 5 hours from previous commnet
p0ppeHere’s a similar report, this time with feedit: https://lemmy.world/post/440406
Ulu-Mulu-no-dieI don't know if it's a problem on my end but today I've got the following error several times while reloading pages:
404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site
I have to quit the browser and wait a few minutes before I can connect again. Never happened before.
ZakI've also been getting these.
I don’t know if it’s a problem on my end
These are internal failures with lemmy-ui talking to lemmy_server and not understanding it got an error message or timeout back. Not on your end. Every busy Lemmy instance I've been testing on has these problems right now.
another cause of the infinite spinner: you are trying to sign in, but you haven't verified your email address yet. solution: check your email, click the verification link that was sent to you.
The content of one instance can be very out of sync with another.
Example, this thread in kbin is visible here in lemmy.world, and at the time of writing, not even a 3-day-old comment shows on lemmy.world.
I have been subscribed to this community from beehaw in lemmy.world for those 3 days, which as far as I'm aware is the only pre-requisite to sync. But if syncing takes longer than 3 days...
I am working on a new lemmy app for iOS and Android, here's my current progress - programming - kbin.social
Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the [Infinity for Reddit app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ml.docilealligator.infinityforreddit&hl=en&gl=US)....
Hmm, the original thread/community seems to be at beehaw.org, right? Since both of the threads you linked to are referring to the community "[email protected]".
Beehaw is even down right now, so I am guessing that any syncing issues with other federated instances might be caused by a bottleneck at beehaw.org...?
I still don't fully understand how Lemmy works though, so I am not sure.
Yes, you are right. But it had 3 days to sync. The oldest comment is 3 days old. Here is the same thread visible from another instance, much more up to date. I hadn't noticed that beehaw.org is down though. That could explain it. I still find it odd that this instance would not have a single comment on this thread over these 3 days but... yeah I'll take that explanation for the time being, I'll check again when I notice beehaw is back up.
Do you know how the fediverse works regarding this?:
- If I comment now on that thread on any instance, say, on lemmy.world or on the other I just linked, does it need to first sync to beehaw before it propagates to other instances or would other instances get load my comment even while beehaw is down?
If we take beehaw being currently down as a possible explanation for not seeing any of that thread here then I suppose first the comments need to reach beehaw.
I may as well ask another question, any idea how I would find that thread easily on lemmy.world? I tried pasting the full URL in lemmy.world's search but didn't find it, I had to manually go into that community in lemmy.world's instance and dig through the history to find it. In this case I assumed I would be able to find it by searching the full URL since the thread already is visible in lemmy.world, even if with no comments.
I am working on a new lemmy app for iOS and Android, here's my current progress - VLemmy
Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ml.docilealligator.infinityforreddit&hl=en&gl=US]. The app is very much still a work in progress, but I’s like to share some screenshots and a few MVP functionalities already implemented: Screenshots [https://imgur.com/a/OMVcPh4] Already implemented: * Anonymous browsing; * Login; * Multiple accounts support; * Account switcher; * Post cards * Sorting posts by Lemmy’s sorting options (Active/Hot/New/etc…); * Listing posts by Lemmy’s listing options (Subscribed/Local/All); * Upvote, downvote (and counters), comment counter, save; * Mark post as read; * Infinite post scrolling (keep on scrolling, app loads more posts in the background); What’s next before I make it available in the app stores (MVP): * Post view (see post’s comments); * Add a comment to a post; * Create a post; * A sexier selected account card on the sidebar; What’s still to do before I can call it a beta version: * Profile view; * Community view (rules mods other details); * Search; * Dark mode; What’s to come after: * Custom theming/Material You support; * Advanced post filters; * Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group); * A video player with controls over speed playback and maybe quality if possible; * Alternative posts view (compact card, list, etc) * Other cool misc options. Dreams: * Kbin and Mastodon accounts support. Keep an eye for future posts, I may be able to announce the MVP by the end of this week if everything goes well, but I can’t promise anything :) EDIT: This post got so much traction than I had predicted. Thank you so much for all your comments and ideas! I tried to reply to as many as I could. I also collected from this post a bunch of good suggestions from you which for now I am keping track of here: https://brunofinger.notion.site/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e [https://brunofinger.notion.site/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e] The app name probably will be “Beyond” as suggested by a couple of users here, and really like this idea as it creates a sort of symbolic link to Infinity as the inspiration for my work by the famous “To Infinity and Beyond” phrase :)
beehaw.org is back up. So lets see how long until that thread updates on this instance.
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.
Beehaw is defederated with lemmy.world, so those posts won't be updated with the content from beehaw.
MrNemobodyThanks for all the work to keep the community running, Ruud!
Do you already know when Lemmy.world is gonna be running lemmy 0.18?
Seconded re. Lemmy 0.18, just because the latest Jerboa release won't support Lemmy.World until it's updated.
Every time I click on a new post from the front page, it displays the content of https://lemmy.world/post/483076 with the comments of the new post, and I wonder why absolutely everyone is talking about baseball.
Let my appears to track on the server side what posts you have read, so it can show this in the UI. That is terrible for privacy since someone bad could seize the data. If reading history is tracked at all, it should be on the client only.
How about making it so that logging in keeps you on the same page you were previously on, or alternatively navigates you back to it. Old.reddit.com does that, but here it goes back to the main page which is confusing.
I also very much dislike the behaviour of the main page, but I think that is a federation-wide style decision. Basically it mixes up the posts from all the different communities that you subscribe to or whatever. I think Facebook works something like that too (idk, I don't use Facebook). I find it completely disorienting. It means instead of focusing on some single thought or catching up on what is happening in a community, you see a never-ending stream or "feed". I have heard in many places that Facebook messes up people's minds, and I suspect this is why. I hope the UI can be reverted to show just one community at a time.
If you write a post, preview it, and want to edit it some more before posting, you do so by clicking "preview" again. That is confusing and took some figuring out. The "preview" label on the button should change to "continue editing" or something like that, while in the preview state.
At least as of this timestamp, https://lemmy.world/post/660260 says there are 4 comments but there are actually only 3 comments.
As of right now (post-18.1 upgrade), when I visit lemmy.world/post/848519 it says I have to log in to comment, and the upper right of the screen has a login link. But I’m already logged in, the screen indicates that when I click the login link, and other pages also show that I’m logged in. Quite a few page refreshes don’t change this. I’m about to clear cache and cookies and log in again, but this is weird.
How to create a decentralized kind of wiki? - Lemmy.world
I keep feeling frustrated as valuable knowledge for my different hobbies over the last years became siloed away in corporate social media. I believe wikis could be a way out, but can we have decentralized, federated wiki software that can kind of talk among each other?
