SERIOUS posting issues, IMO... - Lemmy.world

I’m seeing some pretty serious posting issues. If a user can’t post, I don’t see Lemmy being able to move forward. This “spinning wheel” will be the death of Lemmy IMO if it doesn’t get fixed. I mean damn, I’m trying to create NEW content! I have a Lemmy tab in my browser that’s been spinning for the last 30 minutes, at least. On a POST. Which means that people lose EVERYTHING if it fails. OR, it’s working and they don’t know it, which is equally bad. This is an untenable situation IMO. If this doesn’t get fixed, kbin or something else takes over. I HATE this because, at this point, I’ve invested time and energy into Lemmy! I want Lemmy to succeed, but damn! I’m not even sure that THIS will post, but I’m gonna try…

“Protest and dissent is important,” Huffman said. “The problem with this one is it’s not going to change anything because we made a business decision that we’re not negotiating on.”

Honestly, my reply to this particular statement is that maybe Reddit should die!

What's the proper method for posting Lemmy bugs?

What's the proper method for posting Lemmy bugs? - Lemmy.world

So, I know that everyone has been posting reports of the bug where one can be in edit mode for a reply when the screen refreshes and the content (and the edit) vanishes, which is a MAJOR bug IMO. I don’t think that people will continue to use a site where their edits/posts just disappear at random. This hasn’t happened to me yet, but I could understand the frustration that’s associated with this type of bug. Another bug that I’ve noticed is that, when submit a new post or, less often, when I post a reply, I get a spinning wheel. This wheel keeps spinning for minutes sometimes and, because I actually get REPLIES to the post, I can see that the post has gone through. However, I’m still seeing the spinning wheel on the browser tab where I’m making the post. From what I’m seeing, that post has gone through, even though I still have the spinning wheel during submission. This, is also a MAJOR bug and should be fixed as soon as possible, IMO. So, the question is, what’s the best method/route to report such a thing? I think that one really big advantage of using Lemmy (as opposed to Reddit) is probably the extent to which the developers work with end users in order to fix such bugs. However, we definitely need to be aware of the proper method for submitting these bugs. TIA!

Here’s an interesting ARS article regarding the Reddit fiasco, but from the moderators’ perspective.

LATE EDIT: I actually didn't have any trouble using Patreon in the U.S. this time; must've been a temporary issue or something...

Best way to support the influx of us new Rexxitors

Best way to support the influx of us new Rexxitors - Lemmy.world

So, as a new Rexxitor (love the new term, BTW), I’m thinking that we need to give back a little bit, considering the additional server costs (which are substantial; I’m an IT admin so trust me the costs are a bit ridiculous!). This is a link to the Patreon account for Lemmy.world. Let’s give back if we can and, hopefully, we can improve performance when posting, reading, etc. It may also help if Lemmy.world could provide a payment alternative where our credit cards don’t get flagged when we try to set up payment via Opencollective or Patreon in the U.S. Let’s get rid of that little circle when posting… Thanks for considering!

I wonder how many moderators may adjust their protest time frame as a result of this comment…
