Unable to post especially long guide
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.
@[email protected] 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.
“We are going to shoot ourselves in the foot and there’s nothing you can do or say to stop us!”
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.
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!
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.
