lemm.ee started having a weird bug for logging in
Hey, can you share some more about this login bug? I’m not aware of any login issues currently. Could it be related to an app you were using not supporting 0.19 yet?

I think these numbers are really good. I was using Memmy client before and for some reason it always displayed lower than actual count of comments on posts, so I had the impression that activities were really dying down. I wouldn’t click a post to go to comments because I thought there were barely any, so I would scroll through everything so fast that for a while I stopped browsing altogether. Feels nice to be back - with a different account because lemm.ee started having a weird bug for logging in

I wish I had written down the bug, but it’s possible that was the reason, because the client started saying “invalid login” while I was already logged in. The thing is, I then visited the website and had trouble logging in there too, it kept getting stuck on loading. I clicked “rest password” and it finally logged in 😅. Then I tried changing my password and at that point apple keychain’s autofill might’ve messed up and remembered a wrong one. I now reset it again and the client works.

Based on the description, I am thinking this was related to some general issues we were having after the 0.19 upgrade (which have been solved now). Thanks for the info!

Yes :) Thanks for your work!

Out of curiosity, what app are you using now?
iarigby@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s called “Bean for Lemmy”. I really enjoy how it looks.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try

Seems the latest version, 0.19.1, has some kind of federation bug or something. My communitys posts has gone from a steady 10-20 upvotes to just one or a very few since I upgraded my server.
That makes it somehow unwelcomed to post, thinking it doesn’t really matter.
I hope they’ll find a fix soon :-) good luck tonthem!

I’ve also been building a lemmy web client (Quiblr) and I can tell ya that these types bugs often come up due to API issues. Honestly, it can be difficult at times to know if it is actually an API issue or if it is an app bug. So app bugs go unresolved because they get written off as API issues lol The alternative is that you invest a lot of time trying to fix something, only to realize that it is out of your control
I think Lemmy’s API issues will be fixed, but the growing pains are definitely there!

Bug reporting in general is kind of confusing for Lemmy users who aren’t intimately familiar with it’s development.
For example, filtering comments by date on user profiles just doesn’t seem to work. You can sort properly, but try filtering them by day, week, month, etc, and it never filters them. It always shows all comments from All Time. But this sort of filtering works fine everywhere else.
But I’m not sure where that bug is actually coming from, and I haven’t seen any other bug reports about it. Is that an issue for Lemmy’s dev, Lemmy’s UI devs, the app devs, the instance admins, etc. So I don’t know who to submit it too.
I don’t want to waste anyone’s time making them bug hunt something that isn’t under their umbrella.
