I want to move one of my more important guides to Lemmy (lemmy.ml/datahoarder) but when I paste the guide in and click Create, the "Create" button just spins endlessly.

Did I hit some character limit? It's 13,944 char and 204 lines.

Looks like there's an issue with posts >2k characters that the admin is aware of: https://lemmy.world/comment/76346

Ah, Thanks.

Any idea what's up with all these irrelevant replies to my post? It's like they think they're responding to a different post altogether.

Strange, no idea what's going on. Could be spam or technical issue with the users meaning to comment on another post.

@ruud@lemmy.world could maybe investigate?

I've noticed that when I'm browsing comments, sometimes the entire OP post will change to something newly posted. Wonder if that's related to lost/misplaced comments

Just watching this very post right after submitting, the upvoted count jumped to 200+ within seconds… and then back down to like 50 something. Then it proceeded to flap back and forth between those numbers.

I guess it’s just growing pains.
