Same here!
Thanks for your efforts! It works great with latest the Jerboa
Got a bit of a fright with server errors and login failing, but clearing browser data helped on both accounts. Some hoops to avoid clearing more than needed.
If anyone is wondering, specifically:
- Removing the JWT cookie on desktop solved the 'Incorrect login credentials' error for me - right click, inspect page, storage tab, select cookies option, select the cookie named "jwt" and press delete/backspace.
- Clearing the site data solved the 'Server error' problem on mobile for me - go to lemmy.nz, click the lock indicating a secure connection, then click option to delete browsing data just for this site.
These are instructions for firefox/fennec but are likely to be the same or very similar for other browsers.
Great work @dave (hey why can't I tag you properly, I'm on the Voyager app?) Thanks for all the hard work.
I've been waiting for this update for some time. As a weird person that primarily uses the lemmy default website, there are some minor bugs that have been annoying me and are now resolved. Some more to fill their place, of course!
Not sure why you can't tag me properly. I guess it's not properly supported in Voyager?
I'm posting this comment from the Voyager web front end and I can confirm, tagging users doesn't work.
Thanks for keeping this running! I am on the Voyager android app and had to remove my account and re-add it, bit no problems now.
So far for me, I've had to remove and readd accounts for everything before it would work, nothing has just worked. But yes, once removed and readded they have all worked fine.
Same for me!
Just a heads up, since I know this has nothing to do with your instance, but version 0.19.2 unhides comments and posts that I have deleted. Version 0.18.5 kept them hidden. Maybe report this to Lemmy devs (?)
Do you mean posts and comments you have created then deleted are suddenly back?
Do you have an example? If it's only marked as deleted, then I believe both you (as creator) and I (as admin) should be able to see it, even if it's currently marked as admin. I'm wanting to get a bit more context around it to help search for any existing reports.
Edit: oh, I think you mean that when you delete a comment, it would hide it unless you expanded the comment? Now it's shown by default, but only to you, it's still deleted?
Yes, they are suddenly back with 0.19.2. I usually zero the comments and posts out with periods / generic links, then save before deleting.
If you check my post history you will see several examples from a few weeks ago, when I deleted them out of frustration with that community.
I'm noticing I don't see any posts marked as deleted. Maybe something changed?
Are you able to send me the URL of a specific deleted post? By DM is fine if you don't want to post here.
I also noticed they changed what users see, could it be this?
Can’t send URL right now, but just noticed if I sign out, deleted posts are no longer visible to me, but deleted comments are marked deleted by creator and still visible.
With version 0.18.5, when posts or comments were deleted, it didn’t matter whether or not I was signed in; they were all hidden — meaning no deleted by creator comments.
If you look through my comment history you might see the one I deleted yesterday.
They changed what users see about half a year ago; now it appears to be back to the way it was before then.
Also, thanks!
Ah, at the beginning I thought posts and comments you had deleted were now un-deleted. Sound like you can just see that a comment was deleted, but not the content.
I see some discussion in here, does this seem like the same as you're talking about? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3965
No, that's yet another bug that's been around for quite a while.
While I get the general idea of what you're saying, I don't think I really understand it enough to raise a bug report and answer their follow up questions.
Would you consider raising one?
Perhaps, but I'd rather avoid having to sign up with GitHub; someone already registered there usually catches and reports bugs before I notice them.
And there are a few older bugs Nutomic knows about that have never been fixed, so I don't know whether reporting this one will make a difference.
Maybe in the next few days if it annoys me enough I'll do it. Thanks!
Yeah, I'm also thinking that in the list of bugs they have, this is probably not going to rank highly.
Well, there's the one you cited, with the deleted parent / child comments; the other is upvotes / downvotes not displaying consistently across instances.
Both are known, persistent bugs.
Yeah, there are many known bugs! Lemmy is version 0.19 because it's not finished. Eventually most bugs will be gone and there will be a version 1.0, but that's a while away. It was a small, niche platform before the reddit saga! They were slowly developing things, then suddenly had to spend their time putting out fires and making deep changes with unknown consequences just to keep the instances up with all the new people joining!
Luckily that brought more help, so things are picking up pace.
I was quite surprised Lemmy handled the massive influx of Reddit users as well as it did!
Man those early days were hard as a server admin! Things breaking, emergency updates to solve some security, database, or federation issue, then all the things that broke as a result.
Which reminds me, using ampersands broke after that emergency fix (after a lemmy.world admin had their account hacked through a custom emoji exploit). I wonder if it's fixed? Test &
Edit: Oh looks like it's fixed! We might be able to post URLs with & in them once again!
Oh, that was a pain in the ass; it drove me nuts when I posted a music video from the band Y&T -- had to use "Y and T" to make it readable.
