Does anybody know why anytime I go to make a post in a community on Lemmy World the “Post” button just spins indefinitely and nothing ends up happening. I haven’t been able to post in a few days. (kbin.social)

Same. It's spinning a while, but still works. Seems a bit buggy.

There is a known issue about the database queries (or indexes) not being performant enough on big instances. AFAIK they are working on it.

And Ruud is a DB guy, so there will be improvements, I'm sure.

Before you press post, copy the text into your clipboard and if the circle spin for a minute, just refresh and look for the the post/comment, sometimes it got posted anyways. If you don't see your post/comment, just try again, pastr from your clipboard. Keep trying until it works. Also, I've noticed that if I select the language to "English" it would be published most of the time on first attempt.

I have made 1 post, yesterday. It doesn't show in my profile and it's not in the community I posted it in. Yet it got a comment. So I know it's there. I can't see my own posts lol

in your profile // settings, did you check the show read post option ?
( post you created is seen as read )

[-] UnicornKitty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I discovered that! I have to toggle it if I want to engage in my own posts. I can't browse a place I can't hide stuff I've already seen. Too cluttered.
