I am just getting an infinite spinner when trying to post to !nuggets@lemmy.world Just trying to post something here to see if I can do anything...

edit: just saw the 2000 character limit. will adjust my post...

edit2: i was way under 2000 characters. Finally after trying everything else, I just didnt select the language "english" and it went through (slowly) without issue.

I've also faced a decent amount of lag and freezing, but so far nothing too dramatic or can't be refreshed. Just kinda wrote it off as growing pains.

On Jerboa app on Android, the feed/dashboard/frontpage has tiny font size, and when opening a post, the font size is huge. Changing the font size in settings affects both at the same time.

Federation issue: local posts not showing when following an account from Mastodon/Calckey/Alloma. To be verified if this is lemmy.world specific

This is a limitation of Lemmy and the devs don't seem interested in adding that feature.

When I right click to open a community in a new tab, the "joined" button is enabled at the top right even though I haven't joined it. I can still click a post and join the community, but it's a bit confusing that it seems to carry over from the prior community, which I am a member of. Is anyone experiencing anything similar?

I can't seem to create a community. When I click create it just spins indefinitely.

Can't sign in, had to create another account on another instance just to ask?

Hit login and it just spins forever?

Hi Ruud, thanks for the awesome instance :)

1. Some feedback on my registration process: I have trying to register for a few days now getting more and more frustrated each time. Every time I would click submit to register the button would show a spinning circle like something is happening but it would just spin forever. So I would try registering again, and again, and again ......

It turns out my original attempt to register resulted in an email that went into my spam folder, which I have now located and validated my email with.

In short, I think what is missing in the registration process is messages that let the user know what is going on. For example, if I try to register the same username and email, or try to login using the same info, the system could have told me that I had already registered and that my email address was pending validation.

**2. Browsing Communities: ** It would be nice to be able to sort the table of communities by clicking the various headers of the different columns.

Thanks! :)

One thing that would be nice to have would be body-text expandoes. That is, instead of the text-bubble icon just linking to comments, have it expand the post text inline.

I also had the same issue on my first login (the email was verified, btw). The login button just went spinning and nothing happens. Trying the login on Jerboa gave me invalid credentials (it wasn't a mistype, because I used a password manager).

The workaround I did was to do a password reset and use a simpler one (was 50+ chars with special chars on, then changed to 32 chars and no special chars).

Not sure if what fixed was the reset itself, or the new password.

After this, the login went smooth on both the website and the app.

EDIT: And when posting this, the post submit button also kept spinning (the more than 200+ chars issue). But trying in a new tab, the message was actually sent.

And some minute later, on the old tab the message was sent, but the OP post changed from the "improvements and issues" to "The inability to post multiple pictures is holding Lemmy back.", but the comments below mine where for the "improvements and issues", while the comment above where to the other thread.

Can't subscribe here for some reason https://lemmy.world/c/childfree@lemmy.world

How do I add moderators and remove myself as a mod. I can't find the controls to do so.

The 3 dot menu has no effect if it is not my post either, and I gathered from the github that was one way to do it.

Using firefox, latest version.

Suggestion for improvement: Change default sorting to Hot instead of Active. At least currently, Active keeps a handful of the same posts permanently on top, giving the impression of inactivity for newcomers used to Reddit. Hot will provide a more varied front page.

I'm trying to set up a new forum as a fallback for a subreddit I help moderate that's currently been set to private due to the blackouts, but the Create Community button seems to hang indefinitely whenever I try to do so. Wondering - is this normal for new users, or a bug?
