dammit, nothing's working right, I've been trying from the browser and from Connect, everything is fucky 🫤 comments not going in the right place, things loading very slowly
maybe it's my shitty rural Internet plus everyone being home for the holidays and streaming? idk, but I'm having a hell of a time trying to do the most basic shit
sorry, most of the changes are from upstream lemmy, and I try my best to reduce/undo the number of frontend changes they make, but sometimes they go a little too far and make it a lot of work to maintain hexbear-specific changes. also, third-party apps are completely out of our control as well; its up to them to update to 0.19 and whatnot.
Oh man, I'm super sorry, I didn't mean to be bitching about your work. I genuinely appreciate everything you all do to keep the site running, and I should have mentioned in all this whining that I was grateful that the downtime was so much less than expected.
Thank you for your time and labor, and for responding kindly to my stupid bitching! I sincerely apologize for it..
No no need to apology, just trying to give some background info. I'm the same way; i hate when updates change things in the UI after you get use to it. I do try to minimize it as best I can, but most of the changes on lemmy are out of my hands unless i dedicate a big chunk of time into making changes and then maintaining them every lemmy update.
