Would love the ability to set a time for a post to publish. I’ve been posting a lot of news articles to /c/texas and I don’t want users to feel like its spamming. If I could set a publish time that would be awesome

On the homepage lemmy.world, new posts keep appearing at the top even when not sorting by new. This causes annoying layout shift, especially when browsing all communities, not just local ones. (I use Firefox / Win 10)

On opening a new tab or window with a lemmy instance, I frequently find that I am not intially logged in. I am logged in, and refreshing the page a few times affirms this. It does not necessarily require a cacheless refresh (ctrl+f5). It also occurs regardless of what lemmy instance I’m browsing.

This started immediately after the hackening event of the other day. I’ll play with what’s in site storage in firefox later on and see what happens.

Edit: Ok something very odd just happened. I did the refresh thing and it briefly showed me logged in as @[email protected], for reasons unknown. It didn’t stay logged in as (s)he, but very briefly flashed it as such.

Edit2: I deleted cache, webtoken, and other detritus in firefox, and refreshed the page to login again. I logged in, and the site served me the logged-out homepage until I refreshed again. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit3: I was logged out completely this morning. No explanation as to why as yet, I’ll test tomorrow and see what browser storage looks like

Post 0.18 update on desktop, the domain of external links is no longer visible (unless you hover over the link)

I miss this, as it goes to contextualising and trust issues - knowing whether a link goes to apnews, dailywire or theonion is a big deal, let alone the risk of malware/etc.

Could this be re-added at some point?

I’m experiencing a login issue related to Microsoft Edge on Mac OS.

Upon entering login credentials, the purple LOGGED IN popup box appears in lower left, but I am still not logged in. Upper right still shows SIGN IN. If I try to do anything, it redirects me to login page, credentials are entered, returned to home page again, but not logged in. Repeat ad infinitum.

Chrome and Safari work fine.

Browser: Microsoft Edge.Version 115.0.1901.183 (Official build) (x86_64)

OS: macOS 11.7.8 (20G1351)

Some communities aren’t updating on lemmy.world

Specifically, I moderate /c/[email protected] and I noticed that lemmy.world’s side is not updating. No new posts from lemmy.ml’s side, and their side shows 300+ subscribers while mine shows ~80

Creating a new community, and the form is completely filled out, but when I press “create” it circles back to the top of the form. Also what is the difference between Name and Display Name. Name is what it keeps highlighting.

The button “sorting help” links to a page that 404s:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/01-getting-started.html/docs/en/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

should probably be:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

I see a couple other comments about sign up issues and I’m having the same. Don’t see anything in my spam folder, though. Both submit buttons on the sign up/login pages just spin endlessly the last couple days. Someone said they managed to fix it by using “forgot password” on the login page but clicking that button does nothing. name’s same here as on midwest.social.

• The message about choosing a language when making a post is not clear. Like, is selecting a language good or bad for visibility versus using the default “undetermined.”

• What are the best practices for uploading an image on a post here, what about technical posts that need a gallery, gifs, mp4, etc.?

• as far as possible sub communities: astrophotography, telescopes, bicycle, bikewrench, arduino, esp32, hardware hacking, fedora, Linux hardware, and electrical engineering were some I regularly browsed or participated in on deddit. Not that these are needed, but I wish I could drag these communities over here

Dear @[email protected] ,

From my personal opinion, i would like to add 2 QoL improvements.

• The ability to go back to the community pages, with clicking on the empty area of a thread ( maybe like what Reddit implements ). The reason is that we can quickly navigate to another post
• A Scroll to Top / Back to Top Button

But this is just a suggestion based on my personal experience using Lemmy

Thank you :D

I’ve discovered a pattern to my logout error as referred to here: https://lemmy.world/comment/1144382

It occurs specifically when I navigate to a community page, without visiting the homepage first. If I navigate specifically to, for example, lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I’ll be logged out. However, if I visit lemmy.world and then visit lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I’ll be logged in.

I wonder if this is a bug with SameSite in the JWT? Reddit’s token, for example, has a value of None, where Lemmy’s has a value of Strict. I’ve changed that to None for the moment, we’ll see if that changes anything

My homepage keeps dynamically adding posts so when I scroll, it loses my place on the page. Is there a setting that I’m missing here?

Was Lemmy.world down just now?

Hi. I’m trying to build community. I write all the letters in lowercase. I don’t use symbols. I can’t create it, though.
