    yeah i think i might be looking in the wrong issue tracker. wouldn’t it be under lemmy-ui or is it actually an API issue

      oh… damn, I don’t remember. a week is a long time to try to remember that sort of thing with as much code as I’ve reviewed. I can’t be of more help.

        yeah I’ve got no luck. oh well I guess the nature of that bug will remain a mystery and my curiosity will remain unsatisfied.

          in any case, I’m not reporting you. probably nobody is. those alerts just pop up sometimes. that should stop with the API update at the end of the month.

            i wasn’t really worried about it. just seemed like a strange bug. does that update fix the thing where new posts get pushed to the top of the listing for some reason? makes it super hard to navigate on mobile/tablet

              I don’t think that’s a bug, but I do hope they put a toggle in the settings to turn it off.

                ah maybe it was considered a feature when traffic was lower. yeah a toggle would be good, or shunting it off to an aside so it doesn’t shift the layout constantly

                  this whole platform is just over 4 years old, but in that time, it only had 5k-8k users… until 2-3 weeks ago. then it suddenly had 100k users. and it’s still growing. on July 1, when the 3rd-party apps shut off, the real flood will start, and it will keep coming and coming as reddit really turns to shit without reliable mods or mod tools. not to mention the LemmyAPI is only maintained by 2 full-time devs (who also admin lemmy.ml, btw) who probably haven’t slept in a month. I’ve dealt with them-- they’re very grumpy.

                  lemmy is a very immature platform that is suddenly the new reddit, which took 18 years to get where it is today, and users are expecting the world from it. it’s… a lot to live up to. not much development happened for a long time, and now they’re trying to play catch-up.

                    Yeah, but reddit didn’t start off where it is now. It’s got time to grow and I’m glad those guys are putting in the hours, though I hope it doesn’t take too much of a toll on them. They seem nice from what little I’ve seen of their posts.

                    I’ve thought about trying to contribute on the UI side but inferno is too much like React for my tastes.
