  • I don't have a link. but, really, after all those massively-downvoted comments I left above, my browser would be exploding with those alerts. it's not.

    there was a post by the lemmy devs about a week ago that discussed their work on the new api that's due at the end of the month, and it linked to GitHub which listed the bugs they were working on. that was among them.

    • searched the github issues but that search is godawful. remember what the title of the issue was, by any chance?

      • sorry, I don't. I've looked though a lot of shit on github in the last week, but it the project should be named LemmyAPi, and it, one would think, would be in their issue tracker. it's a known issue.

        • yeah i think i might be looking in the wrong issue tracker. wouldn't it be under lemmy-ui or is it actually an API issue

          • oh.... damn, I don't remember. a week is a long time to try to remember that sort of thing with as much code as I've reviewed. I can't be of more help.

            • yeah I've got no luck. oh well I guess the nature of that bug will remain a mystery and my curiosity will remain unsatisfied.

              • in any case, I'm not reporting you. probably nobody is. those alerts just pop up sometimes. that should stop with the API update at the end of the month.

                • i wasn't really worried about it. just seemed like a strange bug. does that update fix the thing where new posts get pushed to the top of the listing for some reason? makes it super hard to navigate on mobile/tablet

                  • I don't think that's a bug, but I do hope they put a toggle in the settings to turn it off.

                    • ah maybe it was considered a feature when traffic was lower. yeah a toggle would be good, or shunting it off to an aside so it doesn't shift the layout constantly

                      • this whole platform is just over 4 years old, but in that time, it only had 5k-8k users... until 2-3 weeks ago. then it suddenly had 100k users. and it's still growing. on July 1, when the 3rd-party apps shut off, the real flood will start, and it will keep coming and coming as reddit really turns to shit without reliable mods or mod tools. not to mention the LemmyAPI is only maintained by 2 full-time devs (who also admin lemmy.ml, btw) who probably haven't slept in a month. I've dealt with them-- they're very grumpy.

                        lemmy is a very immature platform that is suddenly the new reddit, which took 18 years to get where it is today, and users are expecting the world from it. it's... a lot to live up to. not much development happened for a long time, and now they're trying to play catch-up.
