@sunaurus@lemm.ee is this something you’d consider for lemm.ee?

I much prefer this approach. Thanks for the update. I’ve seen a lot of comments on other instances where people are wanting the latest updates implemented asap regardless.

It would be an alternative to DM’s which, I think, can technically be viewed by the instance owner. If you have a Matrix account linked then you would have an additional option on your profile to receive a secure message.

If you click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url https://kbin.social/m/nintendoswitch. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for Nintendo. The community should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.

I’ve just tried this and it works. If you click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url https://kbin.social/m/Amsterdam. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for Amsterdam. The community should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.

I’ve had no issues before when using kbin and finding Lemmy communities but I’ve just tried again there to check and the search is not working for me either now.

Would be cool if there was a way that new comments were highlighted regardless of time. Much like how Apollo does it on Reddit.

I know this has been pretty much resolved now but just in case anyone else has issues with this and comes across this post. The most reliable way I’ve found to search for communities that don’t show up initially (due to being the first person subscribing from this instance) is:

Click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url e.g. https://kbin.social/m/magazinename or https://lemmy.world/c/communityname. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for the community or magazine name. It should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s how it works.

pours one out 😢

No problem. It will be the same if you are trying to join a Lemmy community that’s hosted on another Lemmy instance that isn’t showing up in search.

I just added mine to my profile but I don’t think the encrypted message option has appeared yet. Not sure if it takes time once added.

Looks like the fix for this is implemented in release 0.18. We just need to wait for all the instances to upgrade.

Is there a way to choose to have the post previews show like previous rather than just the post title? Not sure if it’s a bug or a design choice. Hopefully it can be an option in settings.

I’m not sure if there is an issue with kbin at the moment as I’ve experienced similar today. It’s being discussed on this post here https://lemmy.world/post/456733

Did the page look like everything was enlarged and wouldn’t revert back? If so clearing cache on browser fixes it.

It looks to be some kind of bug. Even though it shows as pending the communities still show up in my subscribed feed. I guess it’ll sort itself out over time.

True but my login info would be stored in lemmy.world and not my home instance.

I’ve been seeing this quite a lot today and it’s also probably because I’m looking out for it. The posts I’ve seen and checked all had comments from users from Beehaw, Lemmy.world, kbin. The comments did not match up between viewing from here (lemm.ee) and the source post. I’m kinda putting it down to all of these instances getting hammered with signups and potential strain on the servers but I’m happy to be told that’s wrong.

I would guess that things will get better, sync faster and more consistent as time goes on.

If anyone has a better or more informed opinion as to why this is happening please comment as I’m trying to get a better understanding of all of this as the days go on.

I’ve been seeing this quite a lot. Not came across a definitive answer but from what I can gather it’s an issue with instances federating comments. I wonder if it’s an issue just now due to the massive growth and the stress on instances. @sunaurus@lemm.ee may be able to offer a better insight.
