Some communities from mander.xyz are not loading since the 0.18 update
I've noticed that at least one community from mander.xyz hasn't loaded since the update a few days ago. Here's an example:
https://beehaw.org/c/nativeplantgardening@mander.xyz?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New
https://mander.xyz/c/nativeplantgardening?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New
I'm not sure if this is happening elsewhere. Has anyone else noticed this?
I feel like the lack of care when it comes to updates and compatibility is a pretty big red flag for the fediverse, that should be the most important thing to worry about, above any features or tools they might want to add otherwise. Having scaling up issues and posts getting delayed is understandable - losing data constantly with no way of knowing it's actually lost is not, especially if there's no way to get it later, and it's been happening all over the place recently.
You might want to chill down a bit. It's not like people run a nuclear plant with Lemmy. I mean what's the worst thing possibly happening if you miss a handful of posts? Exactly, pretty much nothing.
Development wise i think mod tools are far more important. Keep in mind that Lemmy is still beta and only one part of the fediverse.
As a user who has literally never seen a post that needed any moderation... I'm struggling to see how that's more important. Clearly the moderation tools are good enough right now, because the moderators are able to do their job very well with whatever tools they have.
Basic stuff, like reading content, is totally broken right now. Large numbers of comments (millions maybe?) which should be visible, are not visible. That's clearly more important.
I don't really care for your patronizing tone, if even a bit of criticism like this upsets you so much then maybe you're the one who needs to "chill down a bit". I do care about code and its consistent behavior however and some communities missing up to 30% of posts or being completely 'defederated' due to unknown bugs is an issue worth talking about. Mod tools are useless if your community can't even talk to each other properly and the framework is falling apart, foundations need to be built first.
I care about code and consistent behavior as well as uptime too. Your comment here is not beeing nice though. Please refrain from commenting as such.
Remember:
I'm not sure I understand the kind of interpretation where dismissing someone's argumented criticism with "chill bro" is fine but calling that out as non-constructive and patronizing is "not nice". I wonder if you'd have the same stance if his comment were posted in the "Lemmy UI issues" thread made by a fellow admin, dismissing their criticism with "its not like a nuclear plant runs on it, stop complaining".
