Strange - I created a new user on a different instance (sh.itjust.works) and that’s working just fine, meaning it’s something related to this specific user 🤔
Ugh, on Android (Samsung s22) can’t even log in… Login form spins a bit but does nothing, user name shows on top left, subscribed communities are fetched but nothing else works (subscribed feed empty, inbox says need to login, etc. …), restarting resets back to anonymous.
1·1 year agoI think I saw one of your earlier posts and I really appreciate you chasing this down and raising awareness. As a relatively savvy user this is definitely something I’ve noticed and I share your concern that it will slowly erode user’s trust in the concept of federation.
Technically, can you trace where the comments are dropped? does the target receive the response but fails to process it, or does it break somewhere at the network layer? if so, is there no receiver “ack” built into the protocol? sorry for asking a bunch of questions and feel free to ignore (I’m an engineer but I don’t know much about the federation protocol…)
I wonder if some instances are more prone to drop comments that others? have you looked for example at lemmy.world (very large but performant) and another relatively small instance?
same, sadly unusable at this point

Same on Android (Samsung s22), it’s making the PWA almost unusable…
2·1 year agoYes, this isn’t your average “junior engineer introduces minor bug, exposes volnerability” type of problem, this is very clearly “we know very well this is terrible but we’re selling it using a bunch of buzzwords, so we couldn’t care less”…
Sadly there aren’t a lot of meaningful legal mechanisms to sue these types of scams
Absolutely, I’ve done more posting/commenting/upvoting in the last days than I’ve done on reddit in the last year.
No clue if a roadmap exists (too hectic these days?) , but you can probably look at the current PRs and see what’s being merged into the app https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pulls
Yes, that’s a solid option, especially since it works fine with another user I created on a different instance. I’ll let it go for now and try tomorrow and see. Thanks!
