Just in case anyone is using their account here to post to off-instance communities: those posts and comments seem to have a very high failure rate. There is a lot of activity and accounts on this instance. This is to raise awareness, not to pull people away or break up the lemmyverse. Quite the opposite really: there is a technical problem on this instance that might be preventing the lemmyverse from functioning as it should.
I was meaning to be authoritative, and I am low-key blaming the admin team. I grant them the benefit of the doubt though. I still don’t think it has anything to do with the 0.18.0 upgrade.
EDIT: I don’t care what the admin team does, how loyal or dedicated they are, or anything like that. I just want the reddit alternative to not suck.
