I keep running into a situation where the top menu bar disappears. I can scroll up down and enter/exit posts but I can't e.g. change filter settings because the interface elements for them aren't there. Most recently this happened when I blocked a community- my feed was reset and my menu bar disappeared.

Update April 19 2025 seems to be fixed in current beta Version 1.0.251

Why is it that no matter where in the world, what country or what the apparent topic is, literally every geographically specific community on Lemmy , just like every geographic specific sub on Reddit, is negative. Literally every story is about something horrible, awful, sad or enraging, never anything positive for anything geographic beyond a national level and rarely even then?

Why is this with geographic communities and not others?

Literally, 'not the onion'

I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don't want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that's my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. 'Sceptre' is not available here.

In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:

• 'non-smart TVs aren't a thing' - fallback is a commercial display
• 'Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs' - I do
• 'Any TV not connected to internet is dumb'/ 'Just don't connect it' - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.

Thanks!

Edit:

Some commenters seem to be struggling with the 'why do you care if it connects?'. Some examples why:

• Roku
• Samsung
• LG

I'd like to ask about home entertainment hardware - I would have thought there would be an existing community or few but I am struggling to find any - can anyone point the way?

Trigger warning: self harm

Caitlyn Scott-Lee, 16, is thought to have taken her own life the day before she was due to have her first ever detention

The father of an autistic schoolgirl who is believed to have taken her own life the day before she was due to have her first ever detention has paid tribute to his “daddy’s girl” at the inquest into her death.

She should have said - well we tried calling first but were on the phone for quite a while- you said our call was important to you and you were 'experiencing an unusually high volume of calls'...

Two instances I have accounts with have switched to Lemmy 0.19. This is a breaking change for many apps, including Connect. Is there any news re supporting this in the near future or is it time to look for another app?

Edit:

This is now working for me (at least for 2 separate instances) with Connect version 1.0.153 (details in comments below). Thanks so much for rapid response!
