Yeah, I got that error when trying to post to the Casual Conversation community. Made me realize I wish Jerboa saved my posts in case an error happens haha.
Well, fair enough I guess. Federation is opt-in, that's the entire point. Possibly a bit silly to have federated in the first place if they wanted a walled garden, but ehh.
It's a bit annoying for the people that were using them via other instances, but them's the breaks. You're going to get islands in the fediverse, and I think that's OK.
This comment seems like it was supposed to be on the post about beehaw defederating. Am I correct?
I... don't know what happened there. I was reading the defederating post when I replied.
Weird.
I've been trying to pin down exactly what's happening for a few days. I'm still not quite sure, but here's what I've noticed.
Sometimes when I'm reading through the comments of a post or drafting a reply, after a certain period of time has passed, the post literally gets replaced at the top of the page with a different post (I believe the other post is always from the same community though). This happens without clicking refresh or anything. So at this point on the page you have a post that you never clicked on at the top, with a bunch of comments below that are actually comments about the post that you DID click on. Additionally, the page will keep updating with new comments. But all of the new comments will be new comments from the new post that you never clicked on. Thus, when you click reply, you end up replying to another post from the same community that replaced the original post you had wanted to reply to. And you don't always notice, because the comment section you're reading still has the same comments from the original post for the most part.
Really fucking weird behavior. I'm hoping the developers are already aware of this and working on a fix.
Lemmy works with web sockets. I bet this is happening when people have multiple tabs open
Here's someone who actually has technical expertise! Yeah I usually have several tabs open and it's been happening to me a lot, so that checks out. Thanks for weighing in.
Yeah, I thought that's what I was seeing, but I wasn't sure if I was just fucking hallucinating....
Same bro lol
In my community, a comment from beehaw made 2 days ago never showed up. I can still see it on beehaw, but on Lemmy.world that comment does not exist
Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works due to their open nature and excessive brigades/trolls spreading hate in their platform. Likely temporary until better mod tools exist.
Doing that was so short sighted. Just as lemmy is taking off, beehaw breaks things.
If they didn't have such popular communities, it wouldn't matter, but they do and it's causing a lot of confusion.
They should have enlisted more help.
