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

This is fixed in BE 0.18. Message your instance admin and ask them to update

Many are waiting for 0.18.1 due to captcha being necessary to control spam and bots

Yeah, I actually just took a look at the GitHub request for that. Looks like the devs will be reviewing the code after the weekend. I bet we get 0.18.1 before the end of the month (when the 3rd party apps die). 0.18 is so good so I cant wait for other instances to pick it up!

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.

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.

Lemmy.ml is already on version .18, I don't know why lemmy.world isn't yet.

It's still on 0.17.4 as of 21:43 Saturday, 24 June 2023 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

The update doesn't let the site use captchas. They're waiting for .18.1, which will.

Well, at least it won’t get you in trouble at work or otherwise around others.

Same here, this post specifically. Glad I am not the only one.

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.
