EDIT: it seems that this is a known bug and will be fixed in the next release! Thank you guys for letting me know
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3090#issuecomment-1591009865
Lemmy.World is running amazing for the amount of users that is has but when I am trying to scroll, every 2 seconds the post im looking at gets shoved to the bottom, with Lemmy skyrocketing in popularity, having the new posts appear on the front page constantly is making it very hard to browse.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can stop that? Or do we just have to wait for an update?
I want to add that I love lemmy and I will continue to use it anyways! The community here is so much better than reddit and with the protest going on reddit is a dumpster fire of toxicity right now.
My problem right now is that even sorting by Hot on ‘all’ of Lemmy.world, almost all of the posts are a day old. It feels off and it’s been the same posts for the last 8 hours or so. Is this because of beehaw doing their thing or what?
It’s a bug being fixed in the next release.
No, I have the same problem. It is why I usually check only local or subscribed communities
Worth noting, it’s a full 24 hours later and this post is still close to the top of the “hot” sorting. Lemmy’s algorithm is not good.
In all fairness to the devs, Lemmy’s had a dozen users + the devs until now, then /u/spez pulls his stunt, and we’re looking at how it operates with 0.0000000000001% of Reddit, which is apparently 20-bajillion people.
Yes, the real time stuff is actually intentional. It’s just that it all fell apart with the massively inreased activity. Then it’s not as fun with real time activity… But hopefully Lemmy 0.18 will come with some strongly needed updates.
Yeah im not dissing or anything, I understand lemmy is still in its infancy
More like a teenager with their first job.
This week, Lemmy becomes a man.
Yeah thats a better way to put it, I keep forgetting than lemmy is like 2 or 3 years old already!
@Rick look for an Android app here https://joinfediverse.wiki/Apps and you should be fine. The scrolling is cause of the site specifically. The apps control it
The only android app there is Lemur, which is unmaintainted. Jerboa in the paystore is the way now. It works decent and the scrolling only happens on desktop.
@Guy_Fieris_Hair I have a Lemmy account but my man is in mastodon and I can interact with . How they make the app really nice
I’ll be very happy when this update gets rolled out.
Talking about bugs, any word on when there will be a fix for the upvote count wildly jumping around on posts?
Change your default view from All/new to Subscribed/active.
That’s not my issue, no matter what I select the new posts still appear constantly.
didn’t want to start new thread for this so: second page of content never loads for me, and lots of posts/comments that i would expect in my profile and some communities, especially non-local simply don’t show up. anyone else has the same issue?
Update is coming. It’s a known issue
Is there an ETA? Lemmy is basically unusable so long as it’s front page is a mess
The workaround for me is to refresh and scroll down when it happens
I can see you from sh.itjust.works!
Yeah but now us people at kbin can see what you’re up to. hi!
I saw the title and thought huh, it’s working ok for me, then realized that it’s from Lemmy. We’re federated woot! For people on Lemmy.world, kbin.social is also having problems from the new influx of people. Different problems, but problems.
What problems?
Sorry, im kinda outta the loop and just signed up today… Havent noticed any bugs yet though!
I been getting 503 error messages every once in a while. It usually resolves after a few minutes. There are also a few bugs with comments not appearing in federated instances, which makes sense since it’s not complete yet. I’m pretty pleased overall.
Ironically, still some issues with the federation, so we can see them but they can’t see us. We’re in the walls.
Testing testing 1 2 3… can you see me from Kbin while posting on Lemmy.world from another Kbin account?
I see you with my elf eyes
I can see you from lemmy.world
I don’t think they can hear us yet :(
MAYBE TRY YELLING
I CAN’T HEAR YOU, MY DISHWASHER MAKES A LOT OF NOISE!!!
I can hear you.
It’s also annoying when it refreshes the post that you’re commenting on and makes you comment on a different post.
I was reading a post and before I got to the comment section the entire post switched to another one.
I can be typing out a reply to a comment in a post, and then all of a sudden the post has switched to an entirely new one and now the comment that I’m replying to is something entirely different. Clearly this isn’t intentional, no? Because I’m genuinely having a hard time using Lemmy as a whole because of this.
My comments also just infinitely spin, making me think that it didn’t get submitted, and so I have to constantly refresh the page.
They are fixing this bug in the next release which will be 0.18.

How is that bug related to this issue? The problem OP is describing is that there’s a high volume of new posts, each of which causes the page to auto-update. That might have been OK when traffic was lower, but during high traffic it makes the site unusable, as it’s constantly pushing the post you were reading out of view. How will fixing the linked bug fix this issue?
Great, hopefully they roll it out soon.
Now we need some traction on Kbin’s biggest issue: the inability to collapse threads of comments
Thanks for letting me know!
Try the gerboa android client
The same thing happens on the app for me as well but it doesnt seem to update with new posts as much, this seems to be an issue with lemmy itself.
For people browsing on Kbin: this is the first federated posts I’ve seen on here, am I missing something obvious that tells me this is a post hosted on a different service? As far as I can tell this could have just been any other post on Kbin, which is cool but I’d love it to be clearer that it’s not. It even says “kbin.social” under the title. (I’m on mobile if that makes a difference).
As a Lemmy user, I believe the way to tell is when looking at the top, you should see the user@instance, and it is posted to “lemmy.world@lemmy.world”, this community is the home of the lemmy.world instance so it’s abit confusing, but say “gaming@kbin.social” is how it should show for Lemmy users
Edit: and speaking of the “first time I’ve seen a federated post”, I heard kbin.social turned off federation since it was getting overloaded with users, much less other instances. It’ll slowly get better
We don’t have that here on Kbin, at least not by default, maybe there’s a setting I’ve not turned on. Your username shows as just “mitchacho74”, no @ stuff unless I click into your profile.
I’m registered in lemmy.world and you appear to me as DannySpud and nothing else. If I click in your profile I can see that you’re @DannySpud@kbin.social. However I see the full username for other lemmy users (from different instances)
Oh that’s interesting. Kbin doesn’t quite work the same?
I’m not sure, is part of the fediverse so we can interact (in the same way that mastodon users can read and reply to lemmy posts), but it’s a different project with different code. Communities are called Magazines there, and there’s also a microblogging functionality. I’ve lurked a bit kbin.social, but I won’t create an account if I can use this one.
It also appears to not be fully federated or something.
Hmm federation has its pros, but I wonder how many communities are so splintered across different instances that they haven’t had a chance to grow yet…
Yes, reddit has a similar problem (there’s usually a few communities for any given theme), but being all of them on the same webpage makes it easier to browse and discover.
