Lemmy.world improvements and issues - Lemmy.world
lemmy.worldIn this post I will list the known issues or possible improvements for
Lemmy.world. Please comment with any issue or area for improvement you see and I
will add it here. Issues can be: - Local (lemmy.world) (also performance issues)
- Lemmy software issues - Other software related (apps/Fediverse platforms etc)
- Remote server related - (User error? …) ## Known issues ### Websockets issues
There are some issues with the Websockets implementation used in Lemmy, which
handles the streaming. Websockets will be removed in version 0.18 so let’s hope
these issues will be all gone then! - Top posts page gets a stream of new posts
? Websockets issue - You’re suddenly in another post than you were before >
Websockets issue - Your profile will briefly display another name/avatar in the
top right corner ### Spinning wheel issues Error handling is not one of Lemmy’s
strongpoints. Sometimes something goes wrong, but instead of getting an error,
the button will have a ‘spinning wheel’ that lasts until eternity. These are
some of the known cases: - You want to create an account but the username is
already taken - You want to create an account but the username is too long (>20
characters) - You want to create an account but the password is too long - You
want to create a community but the name is already taken - You want to create a
community but the name is not in all lowercase letters - You want to create a
post over 2000 characters - You want to post something in a language that isn’t
allowed in the community ## Enhancement requests - Can themes be added? > To be
checked if this can be done without changing code. For support with issues at
Lemmy.world, go to the Lemmy.world Support community

I added some known issues with websockets / spinning wheel to the known issues post
As of right now (post-18.1 upgrade), when I visit https://lemmy.world/post/848519 it says I have to log in to comment, and the upper right of the screen has a login link. But I’m already logged in, the screen indicates that when I click the login link, and other pages also show that I’m logged in. Quite a few page refreshes don’t change this. I’m about to clear cache and cookies and log in again, but this is weird.
