hello. i’m a happy user of lemmy.today.
i’ve always used the mlmym frontend available on old.lemmy.today, it generally works well enough. however, there are some minor minor bugs and missing features. (e.g. impossible to navigate to next page when viewing saved posts, impossible to see down/upvotes separated)
i recently came across this fork of mlmym (from this github issue) and it seems to have all those bugs fixed. can we replace the current mlmym with this fork?
thanks for reading
i tried compiling it locally and there’s the same issue. however it seems to appear in certain conditions but disappear again on a refresh…
now that we’ve rolled back, i’ll let you know again if this bug gets solved.
thanks a lot
Perhaps it works now for you. I made some changes to the networking that was causing it to run slow, perhaps that also created your issues. If you hold shift and click reload in the browser to skip the browser cache, perhaps that will also work.
Is it the top bar in this picture you dont see?
yes, the top bar (technology lemmyshitpost memes me_irl …). it seems be working now for some reason, thanks
edit: hmm now comment scores aren’t showing lmao. maybe there’s something wrong with my browser?.. seems like something’s buggy…
That looks like you have “show scores” disabled in the preferences? Can’t think of any other reason they wouldn’t be showing like this.
Also, if you’re wondering about the “also show on comments” option for upvote/downvote totals, I found that too distracting to show on every comment, so that extra information is only shown when there are actually both upvotes and downvotes.
“show scores” was already enabled, but disabling -> saving -> enabling fixed it, i guess the settings for my account was in a weird state.
it’s all resolved now, thanks!ok seems like i said that too early, the top bar disappearing issue came back, lol. it seems to work a few times randomly… it isn’t a critical bug so i’ll keep using and investigating.
the ‘my communities’ button always seems to work
You said it only appears sometimes and it fixes itself on refreshes, right? I think that would rule out a mistake in the templates somewhere (which would’ve meant that it’s consistently failing on some pages).
I wonder what the HTML output looks like when you can reproduce it. Do the
<a>elements for the links not get output at all (more likely) or are they hidden somehow?I’m not really sure on why this would happen, to be honest.
ok it’s been a month, i now realized why scores don’t show…
i use ‘always private mode’ in firefox, so my cookies get wiped on each and every session
cookies on this website isn’t getting set when i just visit the main page (old.lemmy.today), i need to visit the settings page (old.lemmy.today/settings). just visiting settings once sets all the cookies and i’m good for that session…
i don’t know programming properly but it seems like cookie setting code is only in here (settings), perhaps it should be added to other pages too?
still haven’t figured out the top bar being empty in most cases tho…
Oh, I see. I was able to reproduce the issue now.
The settings cookies are also supposed to be set when visiting the frontpage for the first time, but for some reason, only
CookieAgeis being set (maybe thefigured it out. It was because CookieAge is also set when logged out, which is the reason the settings cookies weren’t refreshed when loading the frontpage). But I just made it set these cookies on login, which I think is a good idea anyway.GetSitecall fails?The reason you only noticed this with scores is that the “show scores” setting is one of only a few that doesn’t have an environment variable, so unlike most other settings, it thinks it’s disabled rather than using the default when the cookie is missing. The same doesn’t happen when logged out because the setting is just force-enabled in that case.
I just released version 26.3.1 that fixes this bug.
thanks a lot for the quick fix!
Ok see if you can report it to the author who posted in this thread. Once its fixed we can make another attempt. :)
