We’re currently running the latest release candidate of Lemmy 18.2. It has many fixes; however, there are still some remaining issues.
One example is that some buttons do not appear correctly on the dark themes. I will keep my custom dark theme as the default theme for now. I think it just looks better, even with broken upload buttons. I will attempt to apply a fix to it later today.
If you see any other issues, please, let me know so I can forward them to the core development team-- if you don’t wish to do so yourself.
Thanks a lot! -jgrim
We’re doing this again with a XSS issue.
Version 0.18.2 just released. Let me know if you have any issues!
The search function, at least when using an android app doesn’t seem to be showing all communities in other instances while logged into discuss.online
Are you doing general keywords, or are you searching for communities directly? If the content isn’t already federated, it won’t show.
However, if they are federated, then there is an issue. I’ve noticed some issues on Mobile Safari, too, regarding notifications.
Searching for communities. Most of which on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world
Currently, Lemmy search does not make discovery. You have to know already what you want to join to be able to find it.
This will eventually change; however, you must use a tool like https://browse.feddit.de/ to discover communities.
Then if you wish to federate them start syncing with discuss.online you search for them to import them.
For example, if I found Meme’s on lemmy.ml I would search for “[email protected]” or “https://lemmy.ml/c/memes”. That would then fetch the community locally.
If you use the discovery tool, a little icon copies the full path to your clipboard for easy searching once clicked.
This isn’t ideal for discovery and is certainly a known issue for user experience. It’s on the map to resolve.
I hope that makes sense. If not, let me know.
Thanks for the explaination. I’ll give that a try. So once one person on the instance causes a sync will it apply to everyone else on the instance? e.g. Become searchable?
I like using https://lemmyverse.net/communities for discovery
