  • Separate frustration.

    I was commenting on a post that got deleted, wrote a technical comment about the same length as this comment, but it turns out the post was deleted, so i just wasted a bunch of time.

    I’ve had the same issue in the past with Reddit, so it’s not any different than usual, but just another pain point that would be nice to resolve


  • Thanks for the reply.

    I’ve been playing around a bit, and I was able to subscribe to communities in non-beehaw instances, and they are showing up in my feed. That’s now working as expected.

    I made a comment in another instance ([email protected]) in the “Bold Predictions?” thread. I can see the comment in my profile, and the thread shows 13 comments when I view it in Beehaw, but going directly to the 1337lemmy.com website, shows 12 comments and my comment is missing.

    This doesn’t make sense to me. It’s not clear what’s causing the two views to appear differently. I’m assuming the two instances aren’t federating the user properly or something. I would expect an error message or warning if I’m not allowed to post.

    Any thoughts what’s going on here?


  • My overall journey was the GameFAQS message boards -> Digg -> Reddit (via RIF) -> Lemmy

    Lemmy has filled my content aggregation desires while boycotting Reddit. Overall, I could see being here to stay

    I’m still having minor issues, but they aren’t deal breakers. Like, I’ve had issues with my up votes not saving (press it, turns blue, wait a second, then it changes back), so I need to press it multiple times before it saves. On the whole, these errors will be resolved with time, so it doesn’t bother me much

    Main issue I’m trying to figure out now is: how to use federated users for other Lemmy instances. If I’m using the website for beehaw, then go to another instance, it appears I need to sign in, but I can’t see how to use my beehaw account. I started using Jerboa and it seems to handle it, but the comments I’m making don’t show up (when I checked in a browser), so it might be in the UI only, or I’m missing something


  • You have :vim: in your user’s “tags” (flair? desc? Idk). I haven’t found a good vim community on Lemmy, so I’m interested if you have a recommendation.

    I guess that would make “community discovery” as a particular thing I’m having some difficulty with. Getting better as I’m getting more familiar with everything, but it is a pain point
