Whatever Lemmy glitch is sending me to random sports posts
Just so happens to have been for a Mildly Infuriating post this time.
I hit back and then forward, and I was directed to the right post.
I went searching. Apparently it's getting patched in the next update "real soon." https://lemmy.world/post/15786
Lemmy does have some jarring bugs like this one
Another one that makes it near unusable is that content jumps when lemmy for some reason updates the feed automatically and on the top
I have to try to click a post faster than the update because it will rerender the whole list and any open images close
There is a slight work around I saw on an another post. Alter the URL to page 0. Default is Page 1. As long as you stay on that page, it won't auto reload.
I'm confused as to why it is always sports scores.
If I understood right, there's something about streaming with Lemmy that is fucky, and sports are what's getting streamed. v.18 should fix it.
I wish. It sent me to this post certainly, but the other time this happened it sent me to some Furry Memes post.
Yeah I've been seeing some occasional furry posts from places I'm not subscribed to and I had to block the community to etip seeing them
Hey me too! I mean, I like baseball so sometimes when I hit this bug I end up looking at the box score. But pretty sure the intention of lemmy is not to convert everyone to baseball fandom.
Came here to say this as well for me, every other post it seems goes to the random sports posts.
yeah i just read this post header, carried on scrolling, clicked another, and got sent to a sports post. i wouldn't mind knowing how this bug can manifest itself in such an oddly specific way, but only if it can be done in say, a character limit of 300-500 characters.
Well it does sound… mildly infuriating.
(Ba dum tssss! 🥁)
I love this
Same here, this post specifically. Glad I am not the only one.
Lemmy.ml is already on version .18, I don't know why lemmy.world isn't yet.
The update doesn't let the site use captchas. They're waiting for .18.1, which will.
Captcha support :( they are waiting for .18.1
It's still on 0.17.4 as of 21:43 Saturday, 24 June 2023 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
I really appreciate the precision.
Haha, I get the same thing. Mine are different teams than yours, but always the same game, lol.
Me too... I have seen this thread so many times today.
Well, at least it won’t get you in trouble at work or otherwise around others.
FUCKING YES. I can't figure it out for the fucking life of me and I've been trying for two days. It's inconsistent and kinda infrequent.
I got it clicking on the link to this very post. Orioles something something. I don't even like baseball, much less fantasy baseball. No fantasy baseball communities in my feed that I've seen.
I am into baseball, and even I'd be disappointed if I got linked to the Orioles.
