I want to move one of my more important guides to Lemmy (lemmy.ml/datahoarder) but when I paste the guide in and click Create, the “Create” button just spins endlessly.
Did I hit some character limit? It’s 13,944 char and 204 lines.
Looks like there’s an issue with posts >2k characters that the admin is aware of: https://lemmy.world/comment/76346
Ah, Thanks.
Any idea what’s up with all these irrelevant replies to my post? It’s like they think they’re responding to a different post altogether.
Strange, no idea what’s going on. Could be spam or technical issue with the users meaning to comment on another post.
@ruud@lemmy.world could maybe investigate?
I’ve noticed that when I’m browsing comments, sometimes the entire OP post will change to something newly posted. Wonder if that’s related to lost/misplaced comments
Just watching this very post right after submitting, the upvoted count jumped to 200+ within seconds… and then back down to like 50 something. Then it proceeded to flap back and forth between those numbers.
I guess it’s just growing pains.
Edit: lol. Look at the post votes: https://streamable.com/8plk3t
lmao I actually just realized that this post isn’t even the one I clicked on to get to these comments.
I didn’t notice this at all on Jerboa, so definitely website growing pains.
There’s an issue open for the 10k character limit in posts. Any other issue you see, please create an issue at https://github.com/LemmyNet
Good to know - thanks!

As a nearly 14-year Redditor my response is…well ok I guess.
Feels a bit like Truman Show or Top Gear…the world is saying “oh no!”…then will just move on to something else.
Local dank sites subs like r/unket, r/dankmark, r/ich_iel
I think you are definitely right that there will wind up being some degree of centralization, even in the Fediverse, but I think the issue will be far less severe than the one we find ourselves in right now.
The fact of the matter is that it takes some degree of skill and willingness to devote time and resources to complete strangers in order to host a Lemmy instance, which will probably result in there only being a handful of “big” instances where the vast majority of communities are located. These instances could theoretically be bought, sold, and neglected, and potentially face the same conclusion as Reddit, bringing down whatever communities they happen to host.
However, the difference here is that some communities would be unaffected in that scenario. Suppose that Instance A were to go off the rails, taking with it for example the Lemmy equivalents of /r/gifs, /r/politics, and /r/gaming. This would suck, but at the same time other instances would be unaffected, meaning the Lemmy equivalents of like /r/news, /r/dankmemes, and /r/space could continue on. Furthermore, if the mods of those Instance A communities were aware of the possibility of the impending death of Instance A, they could form a migration plan ahead of time to another instance, and communicate this to the users ahead of time.
Compare that to where we are now, where literally every subreddit is shut down and needing to find an alternative place to land with practically no warning. I’d much prefer the federated scenario.
And when you do visit reddit, create posts to convince those users to move here, and ideally to create new content on reddit, but go out of your way to create good quality content here.
