I'd love a longer bio. I can only fit a few links in there right now. It's definitely code, not config, but I haven't found if it's set in lemmy-ui or in the API/DB. I could also understand if that's too expensive, but would like to see it addressed.

Issue:

So, I've created !childfree as a local community, seemingly normal. Only, it doesn't seem to be accessible to anyone locally.

Meaning, https://lemmy.world/c/childfree gives me a 404. Instead, I have to open it as https://lemmy.world/c/childfree@lemmy.world - initially I thought maybe I had made an error creating the community and added the instance, but trying to replicate it shows that @ is not a permitted character, so the problem must have come from elsewhere.

From other instances now I can access it just fine: https://latte.isnot.coffee/c/childfree@lemmy.world or https://feddit.de/c/childfree@lemmy.world (where the @instance is the default behaviour). Locally however, that should not have happened.

Even if I enter the community locally, and click on the !childfree just below the name of the community, it gives me a local 404 (see below).

Any idea what's going on here, and how to resolve the problem? Since we are redirecting users from our sub here, it's creating quite some headaches... And apparently users trying to subscribe from other instances also don't see any posts for up to 48h (tried that myself).

Edit: Apparently I cannot access the community via feddit.de. The other one works fine though - I do have accounts on either instance.

Could the Upvoted/Downvoted/Hidden tabs be added to profiles? Would really be useful when searching something you've already seen.

I don't know if it a bug or not, but my Posts are nowhere to be found in my profile.

(I'm going to put one feature/issue in each comment to make it easier to discuss each topic individually, hope that's ok)

Enhancement requests: Again, might be better addressed lemmy-wide, but as a mod, I think there is no way to "sticky" or "pin" a reply to an existing thread, so that it stays at the top. This would be useful for "official" replies in the voice of a moderator, and I imagine it will be useful in future if mods ever need to lock posts and have to explain why.

Enhancement requests: Not sure if this is better addressed lemmy-wide or here, but: New users may not know the difference between instances. Would having the "Communities" tab default to All instances be better than Local instances?

@ruud FYI, not sure if something is backed up between lemmy dot world and the mastodon server I'm on. I follow the c/gunners community from mastodon, and was getting updates in my home feed until yesterday. Posts (like this) are viewable, and can be replied to, by pasting the URL into search, but they're no longer showing up in the home feed.

(edit) and I see the reply shows up on lemmy 🤔​

Search by community is not working. If you go to search page, and select a community and click search, it will search in all communities anyway.

Former reddit user making the switch the best I can.

• Found this guide and made an account on Lemmy.world
• went on my merry way and found several communities here and there
• tried to install the mobile client Jerboa and got blocked because the server is older than the app version — and for some reason the former versions crash on my phone

➡ am I right to assume that the end user risks losing its app mobile access everytime there's a update from the app and / or the server?

• in the end I ended up downloading Thunder which allowed me to login to lemmy.world without version issues

Communities that have been broken due to the bug regarding remote moderators are still unusable from outside lemmy.world, breaking federation: https://lemmy.world/post/209377

Assistance is needed from the administrators for all such communities.

@ruud@lemmy.world There are a lot of federation issues I've seen between lemmy.world and other instances.

I can't seem to subscribe to any communities from fanaticus.social or midwest.social. I made an account on fanaticus.social and can't subscribe the other way either.

There was a delay of days for https://midwest.social/post/689124 and https://lemmy.world/post/174998 to start syncing and they are still out of sync. (These have synchronized since my post here)

Not sure if this has been mentioned. But as I just joined I was looking through communities to join and noticed there were several with the same name but just lower case instead or with a space between words.

Should community names be case sensitive and no spaces to make sure there are fewer duplicates/lookalike communities?

On Android Client Jerboa v0.0.37 & 36 "Server version (0.1.4 is underthe minimum supported version (0.18). Please inform your administrator and login to another instance, or sign out and use the default instance."

On other android clients: Liftoff & Lemur: lemmy.world cannot be found as an instance.

When attempting to sign in on the Thunder app to the lemmy.world instance I get the error "LemmyApiException: Record not found" whether I use my username or e-mail I signed up with as the username.

I am signed in to the instance in my web browser and have already verified my e-mail, so I know my account is active.

I was setting up my account earlier today and I tried to set up 2 factor authentication but experienced some errors. I clicked the box and reloaded my settings but I wasn't able to enter an email or anything into the authentication method.

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.

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
