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/siteI have to quit the browser and wait a few minutes before I can connect again. Never happened before.
I’ve also been getting these.
I’ve heard a few more people who had that. I’ll investigate
Thank you!
Just wanted to say thanks Ruud for all the work and expense. Your diligence is obvious. Thank you.
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.
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.Here’s a similar report, this time with feedit: https://lemmy.world/post/440406
Top comment by @Wander@yiffit.net says the new version coming tomorrow fixed this issue. Guess we’ll see.
I’ve had problems with posts not showing up on sopuli.xyz, so I’m guessing outbound.
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 comment
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?
Seconded re. Lemmy 0.18, just because the latest Jerboa release won’t support Lemmy.World until it’s updated. Edit: don’t pull the trigger on a Jerboa update if you’re a Lemmy.world fan.
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.
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.
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 ;).
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.
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.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you do. Thanks for the awesome instance.
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…
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 “Programming@beehaw.org”.
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.
Beehaw is defederated with lemmy.world, so those posts won’t be updated with the content from beehaw.
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.
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.
We’re all still learning, but check your facts before posting this type of info so you don’t add to confusion about defederation.
@sss had it right. We can still see posts from beehaw, just not comments. If we comment on the posts or make our own posts, they only show up on !gaming@beehaw.org and won’t go to beehaw. And syncing seems to be about 3 hours behind there, but that could just be the general sync issues right now, unclear.
Every timeOccasionally 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.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.
