Fair enough 👍.

What is it then.

Well, at least I got a good chuckle out of it 😂.

Yeah, noticed this too, simple things, no prob, get into more gritty things and it will make a mistake. And yes, you tell it to fix it, but then 2 more bugs are introduced 😂.

Just use 1337x.

The boobs are nice though 👍.

Still, you need hardware (disks). Speed is a problem, but not the main problem lomg term.

Still, I think an option like this should be in the software, so I’ll try and open a feature request first, if it doesn’t work, I don’t plan to fork it to be honest. I have to maintain it myself, not to mention if people start contributing, it’ll become a full time job maintaining that thing. I just can’t do that right now. I’ll probably just give up on the idea. Cuz even if I don’t accept any pr’s from anyone, I still have to manually implement the changes every release. And even if I do write a script to do it, eventually it’ll break and I have to mod it and… just too much work on top of maintaining the forum with the free time Incurremtly have.

I meant as in opening my own instance, thus, all of the hosting fees are on me (and a few other people, but mostly me). I currently run that forum, so I pay the hosting fees, things aren’t gonna change much if just switch to another platform.

I was actually thinking about creating my own instance if I plan on migrating my forum to Lemmy. I don’t mean to freeload, especially since I do pay the hosting fees for the forum.

Well, many, to be honest. I have a few accounts, 2 on sh.itjust.works and 1 on lemmy.fmhy.ml. Some communities appear in results on one instance, others don’t, and vice versa. If you try to open up the community via your instance (my.instance/c/community@another.instance), it just returns a 404 🤷. This happens on both lemmy.fmhy.ml and sh.itjust.works. For example, I can see and join the OpenBSD community from my account on lemmy.fmhy.ml, but not from either of my accounts on sh.itjust.works. I can see other communities on that instance just fine, but that particular community, no.

And this happens with a lot if other communities as well, the OpenBSD one stuck in my mind cuz I really wanted to be in that one with all of my accounts, but I can only be with just 1 account.

Oh, and the pending thing 😒. The pending communities show up in my feeds, yet they’re still marked as pending. Cancel pending, subscribe again, wait a few days… yep, still pending.

It’s buggy, I know, but it’s new and all new things are, so I don’t really mind. I was meaning to make a bug report regarding some of these bugs on Lemmy, just haven’t gotten around to it.

PS: All of the searches regarding the communities were done in the web UI, so it’s not a Jerboa bug, it’s a Lemmy bug.

Actually, no. If at least one user from your instance has subscribed to a community of another instance, that other instance’s communities show up in your search results (they are federated)… at least that is how it should work 100% of the time, but it doesn’t. In most cases, it doesn’t actually show all of the communities that would show up during a search, meaning the web UI would return a lot more results.

The method you’re using is actually a safe bet: specify the instace’s URL and don’t have to rely on whether that specific instance is federated with my instance, just search for communities there as well. That approach is easier if you actually have a link to the community which you’d like to add and the instance on which it resides. But, if you have no idea on what instance that community might reside, it’s easier to actually seach for it via the web UI, which I hoped would be implemented in an app sooner or later (having relevant results I mean).

But most of the communities I’ve subscribed to are not on my instance.

The Subscribed feed is showing up empty. Other settings regarding the feed work fine, but the Subscribed feed is broken. Also, replies showing up as double replies, one below the other, once you reply to a post.

And you could make the search menu a bit more… friendly. Currently you have to add instances in order to search for communities in them. Not practical at all, there are hundreds of instances, if I had to add each one in order to search in them, that will just take way too long. Why not have instance and communities auto-discoverable, like in Jerboa (type in search the community you’re lookimg for, results pop up).

Yeah, that too. Noticed it after I wrote my previous reply, lol 😂.

Yep, agreed. Just tried it, and if it wasn’t for the Subscribed feed not loading bug, I’d use this instead of Jerboa.

Just tried it (writing this comment from it). Generally, it feels a lot more polished and nicer looking than Jerboa, but, if you set the feed to Subsciber, nothing happens, it just loads a blank page.

Other than this, it feels a lot better than Jerboa. So I would use it, but the Subscribed feed is broken, so that’s a deal breaker for me currently.

Yeah… I don’t know why, but I hate it.

Subed to his channel, this guy is hillarious 😂.

If it really is only a few days, yeah, I’d wait it out.
