the good news: we're now on the newest stable lemmy!

the bad news: federation feels a little off to me? sometimes this is a federation queue thing that resolves itself, sometimes it's an indication of a problem.

things to test if you want to help out:

  • see if you can see your posts on other lemmy and mastodon instances
  • post here from other instances
  • see if you can load communities, threads, and comments in non-local communities (this is a big one)
  • see if you can load our communities from other instances and see up-to-date threads and comments
  • make sure your own profile settings are as they should be
  • if you aren't getting email notifications and should be, let me know

I'll push all my changes and post a full changelog once we know 0.19.12's running stable!

Nobody:

Absolutely no one:

Not a single soul on this earth:

Lemmy: Oh hey I know what the people want! A screen full of web-dev's worst design sin of the 2010s every time they navigate back to the main page.

An image of a bunch of content placeholders (a.k.a.) skeleton screens. This is an animated block of grey that covers page contents to indicate that it is still loading

god somehow it’s even worse in the inbox — the whole thing turns to a gigantic placeholder every time you mark a post as read. it’s such a React problem for software to have

an undetermined mystery: me refreshing my recent-comments feed (my default/home view) which had this post showing up also suddenly shifted font size

all hail the jank

(...I'll try dig into it but also Fuck HTML Fuck Browsers (I'm not in the mood for applicable lemmy invectives))

Urgh. Well, happy to learn that at least I'm not the only one who really dislikes that kind of design element.
