Since the last update, it's not possible to get the [email protected] community page to even load. Can anyone take a look at the problem?

It's a programming.dev-specific problem.

  • A bit of federation funkiness ([email protected]: last post is a month or so ago?)
  • and a bit of local splunkiness ([email protected] is only directly usable from other instances rn iirc)

but I believe in our volunteerist leaders. Even so...

It looks like many communities are still down following the last update.

Does anyone have any update on this issue? I'd love to continue using Lemmy but I won't be able to do so if it's unusable.

Community table currently has issues. Should be fixed once theres time to do more database maintenance again but for now the posts can be accessed in the main feeds

My whole feed has been hosed for a couple of weeks. I'm seeing zero posts in about half my subbed communities and scant few posts even in the ones that do get them. I'm also not seeing all the comments or votes. I assume this is being worked on, but Lemmy might as well be dead for me. I can go 9 hours without a new post anywhere.

I just had a look at https://programming.dev/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=New , everything seems to be working fine.

Comment made a minute ago on LW:

Do you have any example of a community not federating property?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Here is [email protected] through lemmy.world.

Here it is through PD:

lemmynsfw is the same: 12 days since a post.

Here is a link of me asking in comments if I was missing something and someone confirming I was: https://programming.dev/post/20400237/12746874

It's the same on desktop so I don't think it's a phone/cache issue.

It's super aggravating. Lemmy is pretty much my only social outlet. I've had to go back to Discord.

But hey, it's free/no ads. I'll probably soon be in a position (after several months out of work) to donate, but until I do I guess I can't exactly complain.

Have you considered creating an alt on https://lemmy.zip/ ? They are very reactive and their instance is solid.

You can export your settings from your current instance to the new one in your account settings

Happy to help, enjoy lemmy.zip, it's a great instance!

I filed a bug report for this https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5117

there's something else to the issue though, because I see other communities with underscores still working

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

this feels like more db index corruption that already existed for users previously, unlikely to be an issue in lemmy itself

Probably was closed

What do you mean "probably was closed"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I thought it had been closed by the mods or admins.

Seems like it's a different type of issues

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I thought it had been closed by the mods or admins.

I'm the mod and the guy who created the community, so I dare say that was not the case.

~~All~~ Some communities that have _ in the name seem to be broken if you try to view them on programming.dev

e.g. https://programming.dev/c/learn_programming

How fitting for the discard operator _.

C# discards, but IIRC it is in some other languages too
