Lemmy.World is running amazing for the amount of users that is has but when I am trying to scroll, every 2 seconds the post im looking at gets shoved to the bottom, with Lemmy skyrocketing in popularity, having the new posts appear on the front page constantly is making it very hard to browse.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can stop that? Or do we just have to wait for an update?
I want to add that I love lemmy and I will continue to use it anyways! The community here is so much better than reddit and with the protest going on reddit is a dumpster fire of toxicity right now.
In all fairness to the devs, Lemmy's had a dozen users + the devs until now, then /u/spez pulls his stunt, and we're looking at how it operates with 0.0000000000001% of Reddit, which is apparently 20-bajillion people.
Yes, the real time stuff is actually intentional. It's just that it all fell apart with the massively inreased activity. Then it's not as fun with real time activity... But hopefully Lemmy 0.18 will come with some strongly needed updates.
How is that bug related to this issue? The problem OP is describing is that there's a high volume of new posts, each of which causes the page to auto-update. That might have been OK when traffic was lower, but during high traffic it makes the site unusable, as it's constantly pushing the post you were reading out of view. How will fixing the linked bug fix this issue?
It's a bug in a sense that it disrupts your viewing of the page - it puts those new posts (which shouldn't even be there because of the Top sort option I'm using) at the start of the page, thus pushing everything down. Countless times I have clicked one thing and was taken to completely another website because the page pushed everything downwards at the same moment.
New posts are currently added to the top of the page, regardless of sorting order. This is a bug.
Maybe if you were sorting by new, you’d want some sort of behavior like that. But it also makes it impossible to look at any posts or comments further down the page.
My problem right now is that even sorting by Hot on 'all' of Lemmy.world, almost all of the posts are a day old. It feels off and it's been the same posts for the last 8 hours or so. Is this because of beehaw doing their thing or what?
For people browsing on Kbin: this is the first federated posts I've seen on here, am I missing something obvious that tells me this is a post hosted on a different service? As far as I can tell this could have just been any other post on Kbin, which is cool but I'd love it to be clearer that it's not. It even says "kbin.social" under the title. (I'm on mobile if that makes a difference).
As a Lemmy user, I believe the way to tell is when looking at the top, you should see the user@instance, and it is posted to "[email protected]", this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it's abit confusing, but say "[email protected]" is how it should show for Lemmy users
Edit: and speaking of the "first time I've seen a federated post", I heard kbin.social turned off federation since it was getting overloaded with users, much less other instances. It'll slowly get better
We don't have that here on Kbin, at least not by default, maybe there's a setting I've not turned on. Your username shows as just "mitchacho74", no @ stuff unless I click into your profile.
I saw the title and thought huh, it's working ok for me, then realized that it's from Lemmy. We're federated woot! For people on Lemmy.world, kbin.social is also having problems from the new influx of people. Different problems, but problems.
While I also created a lemmy.world account, I have been unable to sign in for over 24 hours, the little circle on the button just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning.
But right at this moment I can see the enormous potential of this federated network, and am now officially impressed.
Anyway... is my inability to log in with my new lemmy.world account due to the massive traffic spike and overload?
I had the same problem with lemmy.world. Turns out I just had to click the link in the confirmation email which ended up in my spam. After that logging in works fine.
I'm having the same issue on my desktop, but I'm logged in and able to write this comment from Jerboa. I definitely did the confirmation email. Something's definitely broken.
Most likely yeah, Ive noticed that the my posts and stuff seem like they take forever to post on my end but if I refresh the page it always posts instantly
Currently using this as it's impossible on mobile browser for me. It's nice and clean, but could definitely use some QoL features. Or I just haven't figured out navigating yet, either is possible.
@Rick look for an Android app here https://joinfediverse.wiki/Apps and you should be fine. The scrolling is cause of the site specifically. The apps control it
The only android app there is Lemur, which is unmaintainted. Jerboa in the paystore is the way now. It works decent and the scrolling only happens on desktop.
Oh u e been getting this error too. That, and sometimes posts will go through but the "reply" button still spins and it looks like I haven't posted the content.
Why are people talking about this like this is a bug that can just be patched? I'm reading the comments in this thread, and it's like everyone's talking about a completely different thing. Am I crazy?
It's obviously not a bug, unless you consider "there is no way to turn off auto updates" to be a bug. The GitHub link doesn't mention anything about adding a toggle, though. It's talking about fixing some kind of deadlock in the database that was causing the homepage to stop refreshing. That is the exact opposite of what OP is asking for!
It's almost as if Lemmy was a thing with a dozen or so users plus devs at most just a few days ago and is doing what they can with the influx of people. Be patient. And stop bitching. Nobody is forcing you to be here.
