    Already noticing some major improvements in both UI and functionality. So nice to see devs that prioritize improving the platform instead of goofing around with dumbass money making schemes.

    I’m curious why especially lemmy.ml wouldn’t wait for full release - surely after 6 RCs the full release is imminent?

    Or of course, they’re stress testing it. Makes sense enough.

    Wonder if I can finally sub to lemmy.ml communities…

      lemmy.ml is official developer instance, makes moste sense to test it out here after dev servers.

      It’s probably a combination of testing at scale on a server they control and wanting to get these features out so they can be iterated before a bunch of new users show up.

        I can confirm that.

        Not long after you upgraded, I upgraded, and was able to successfully subscribe to things here.

        But… not now. /sadface.

    Liking the new functionality so far! The spinner when clicking the upvote button is a huge improvement and lets you know that your upvote was actually received. I have noticed that some posts on my homepage show as expanded by default which is annoying (full size image/video instead of thumbnail) and this wasn’t happening before.

    Upgraded my instance, switched the docker images to 0.18.0-rc.6 and it started right up. Appears to have no issues for me thus far, so hopefully a full release will be right around the corner.

    Can anyone explain why lemmy decided to remove websockets, what they decided to adopt instead of websockets, and to what extent websockets are being removed? I still feel like I don’t understand this move (but I’m sure there’s a good reason)

      The primary reason I suspect is that it was buggy code. You would be reading a post and the votes and even the title and body of a post would just change in front of you to the wrong post. The server wasn’t keeping the index of clients correct or something. It was a very uncommon way to build a webapp

    Already seeing a positive difference on lemmy.ml. Better feed content and no more posts being added constantly to the top when you browse All

    Also- be aware enabling the new 2FA option… It didn’t work too well for me.

    Knock on wood, I tested it in an incognito window before logging out- and was able to disable it when it didn’t work.

    I’m getting a lot of syntax errors at the bottom of the page since well… recently.

    SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token ‘<’

      I’ve been testing for hours, and “Subscribe Pending” went away for the first hour or so after the restart of lemmy.ml - but now I’m getting them again. The underlying issue still seems there.

    The URL thing used to be

    https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/data_type/Comment/sort/New/Page/1

    But now it’s

    https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy?dataType=Comment&page=1&sort=New

    The URL feels uglier.

    Can we please not have a default avatar? I specifically want no avatar.

      Hard disagree, and in fact this was one of my early complaints, and a pretty serious usability issue: because some accounts had an avatar and some didnt, the justification was all over the place, making the scanning of usernames and community names a real chore and tiresome.

      Wether you like the default picture or not, well I guess that’s a matter of personal preference. You could always upload a black box for yourself (or even a transparent PNG?).

      But that aside this is objectively better UX.

      The good news is, there are so many front ends in development, we’ll all quickly find a UX tailored to our needs.
