Phew!

Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
In Voyager I had to “delete” my account from the interface and then add it back again before it worked again. Now in fairness the button shows “log out” while doing so, but still it was an unusual step so probably nice for others to know. :)
Good to know, thanks! I added it to the post.
This was my experience in Voyager as well.
Had to remove and re-add account with Sync too.
Why are lemmy updates so weird and disruptive?
I had to clear all my website data to log in via the website, which I've never ever seen any other website require.
The app situation was not much better, I needed to remove all my accounts on Boost and totally reinstall Mlem.
I have no idea, but in defense of the devs, there's a reason they are calling it version 0.19 and not 0.5 or "1.0" There's a lot to do, but look at projects like Mastodon a year ago vs today and they've made some dramatic improvements in terms of polish and usability.
Personally I think it's a good thing Lemmy isn't more popular right now, because there's no way it could absorb Reddit levels of users in a healthy way.
Thanks for the info. I had wondered what was going on. Glad to see the features from 19.5 here.
Nice! I have been waiting for this, eagerly anticipating when I can block the entire hexbear instance (I made the mistake of commenting in one of their magazines once and despite how many days ago that was the sheer flood and content of the responses continues to be... let's just say enlightening in terms of how they choose to exist). So this is fantastic! :-P
Wait It allows us to block instances from are account this is game changer! 🖖
Yes that is the reason I wanted to comment here, to help spread awareness of this fantastic feature. Go into your Settings (not Profile), Blocks, on the left scroll waaaaay down, and you can block an entire instance. I was getting more than ten replies every day to a week-old comment, but since I blocked it today I have yet to see anything hex, anywhere. Silence is a beautiful thing:-).
I just did the same thank you this was a awesome addition.
You are welcome:-)
Hopefully people who browse lemmy via browser are finding a way to read this page. This post was failing to load for me even while logged out for some reason. Luckily I saw it from a mobile app and knew to clear cache/cookies, because otherwise I might have just assumed it was down.
We also have a Mastodon PSA up - unfortunately, with the post being difficult to access, there's not too much else we can do - I ran into the same issue, myself.
Add and remove on jerboa, works fine after that. 👍
Sign out, sign back in on Boost, also works fine after that
I had a difficult time figuring out how to read the post on the website. Clicking the link itself just gave me an errror. I had to discover what that innocuous “+” was for to expand and read.
I recommend editing this post’s title to include the TL;DR.
Thank you for the update! Our trusty bot over at c/greatestgen had no issues and is still posting the most embarrassing episodes (so all of them) of The Greatest Generation and The Greatest Trek.
I’m so happy I can now block entire instances! Thanks for the hard work!!
Yep, in Jerboa I had to delete & readd my account too. Thanks for the informative post! :)
In Mlem you need to confirm your account before deleting it from the app, so I actually had to delete the whole app
Works now though.
Glad to see this as I did all the above and it’s still not working in Mlem. I’ll give this a try though.
Yeah try deleting the app, check your phones storage in settings > general > storage and search for Mlem. If you delete it it will remove all data from your phone, then you can reinstall and sign in again.
Got home and giving it a shot now, I’ll write back for others seeing it too. 👍
Edit: You we’re 100% correct, deleting the app worked perfectly. Removing the account from Mlem did nothing and clearing browser cache did nothing. Weird bug for this version. 🤔
Ummm yeah, I'm going to need to to submit a change request before all maintenance. The change management board will need to approve it before you can do anything.
Jk, thanks for all you do. After logging out and back in on sync, I'm back up.
Is bureaucracy canon?
Fixed works great now had to do it both for browser and voyager thanks for the update. Also could you post this on Mastodon update page startrek.website would not load this post until i cleared cache would be helpful.
