today's (later than planned) upgrade to lemmy 0.19.2 provisionally appears to have gone alright. if you see excessive amounts of jank (and your page footer can't decide what version of lemmy it's running on, IE it shows separate FE and BE versions), clear your browser cache and cookies since lemmy doesn't seem to do that cleanly on its own

next up I'm planning to deploy the Proton frontend as an alternative to the default and I'm also going to start pushing code to codeberg (most likely) so stay tuned for that

I humbly ask that you do not update the UI from 0.18.4, because pagination of comments is disabled? broken? with this update.

Alternatively, if you did update to 0.19.2 FE, and I still see the old functionality because of my cache+cookies, then the jank is even more powerful than I imagined.

the jank is extremely powerful, and it sounds like you’re running a mix of 0.18.4’s libraries and 0.19.2’s html and css right now. see elsewhere in this thread for the extremely drunk programming mistake some lemmy dev made that causes this

clearing your browser cache and cookies should get you a fully working lemmy UI, I hope (maybe try lemmy.ml first to see if pagination is working as expected on your end; they should be on the same version as us)

Nope, cleared cache and cookies for lemm.ee and the pagination for comments is still not working. Must be a bug with lemmy, pagination for posts works fine.

hmmm crap, I’ll keep an eye out for a hotfix. in the meantime, Proton might be a good option once it’s deployed if you don’t mind how it looks

Proton

Thanks for suggesting alternative frontends, proton doesn’t have what I wanted, but alexandrite does, and does it better than lemmy-ui.
