Added some more known isues

I 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.

Is 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.

Thanks for all the work to keep the community running, Ruud!

Do you already know when Lemmy.world is gonna be running lemmy 0.18?

Just wanted to say thanks Ruud for all the work and expense. Your diligence is obvious. Thank you.

I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you do. Thanks for the awesome instance.

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.

One thing I've noticed being in the UK. If I come in early morning here it's pretty dead. But if I come in late afternoon it's really chatty and busy. So I'm assuming most people who have migrated here from Reddit are in the US? Not a bug related problem, but it would be interesting to know where in the world everyone has migrated from. Not sure if that's possible though.

Would it be possible to have a setting to open posts in a new browser window, leaving the home feed in its own window?

The content of one instance can be very out of sync with another.

Example, this thread in beehaw 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...

Whenever I upvote a comment or post a comment myself, it expands all of the comment chains I've previously collapsed.

At least as of this timestamp, https://lemmy.world/post/660260 says there are 4 comments but there are actually only 3 comments.

Every time Occasionally when 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.

Things seem to be working with beehive now, too

There are prev/next buttons on every page of a list of posts in a feed (subscribed, unread, etc), including the first and last page of the list. The first page should not have "prev" and the last page should not have "next". In the frequent case when there is only one page, the page should have neither.

Anybody having issues with authorization? I was logged out of lemmy in my jerboa app and I had a hard time logging in with an error message saying rate_limited. It's improved slightly over the last couple of hours but browsing communities that I'm subscribed to is buggy and sometimes won't load more than a handful of posts. I also can't seem to upvote or downvote comments because the app thinks I'm not logged in, despite me being able to post in the same thread.

I’m having the issue of notifications not going away after I view them. I click on the reply to my comment but I can’t get the notification to disappear

The comments view for a community shows recent comments but doesn't identify the threads that they came from, which is confusing. There is a link to the thread from one of the little icons underneath, but since the thread urls just give a numeric identifier without anything showing the thread topic, it's still difficult to see which comment came from which discussion. Example.

Also, the RSS feed for a community only gives the posts, not the recent comments. Since there is a recent-comments web view, maybe there is a simple way to connect that to RSS.

Lemmy 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.

Next to the sorting icon at the top of a community, there is a "?" badge that looks like it is supposed to explain the sorting options. It instead navigations to a 404 page on join-lemmy.org.

Lemmy communities have an RSS feed but there doesn't also seem to be an RSS feed for individual threads, to show new comments on a thread. That would be helpful.

It would also be good if the feeds went deeper, beyond just a handful of posts. I would make them at least 10 posts deep, maybe a lot more. Perhaps they could be paginated, making it possible to go all the way back to the beginning of the community.

I almost feel like asking for an Atom feed to accompany RSS, so it could be called Lemmy Atom, but meh ;).

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.

As of right now (post-18.1 upgrade), when I visit https://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.

Also still seeing lots of backend timeouts and slow responses, plus I somehow got logged out again (I logged back in after a few tries).

I begin to hate Lemmy's web front end, because it uses so much asynchronous network stuff. The success path works somewhat ok when things are fast, but when things are slow (even if you don't hit an error), you can never tell whether the screen state has caught up to the server state. We need an old fashioned synchronous front end, so if the browser says that a page has finished loading, you can know that what you see on the screen is the final state of the page.

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.
