It's been a long journey since we announced this back in December 2021. Welcome to the new Hexbear!
If When you encounter a bug, please report it here. Please give us as much detail as you can (how to reproduce the bug, the platform/browser you're using) so it's easier for us to fix!
Known Issues :
A list of issues, not exhaustive or in priority order. We're looking into all of these and will be deploying a variety of hotfixes over the next few days/weeks with fixes.
🚨 A lot of these are bugs that exist in upstream Lemmy 🚨
- On some errors, infinite rotating spinner with no error message
- Includes resetting password via password reset link
- Can't navigate away when text is entered
- Issue logging out if initial pageload was not on homepage
- Reporting posts does not work in portrait mode on mobile. Temporary workaround: rotate to landscape mode
- Jerboa broken due to api changes
- Inline gifs/images are able to render way too big
- portrait mode for tablet width/aspect ratios probably should not show sidebar, too much wasted space.
- disabling "Show Read Posts" in user Profile hides featured/pinned posts from the homepage
- Highlighting then clicking reply to automatically quote includes "undefined" before the quote.
- Sitewide Featured Post titles turn blue when moused-over, becoming illegible on the blue background
- comment permalink is too easy to misclick when aiming for upbear or username.
- Post shown occasionally changes out from under you while browsing, comments remain the same
If you are open to volunteering, we are looking for frontend developers who can help figure out and fix some of these UX issues. If you think you can help, please send Layla a message on Element (@layla:chapo.chat). None of this is possible without your continued support. If you enjoy the site, please consider donating via our Liberapay or Patreon :hexbear-retro:
Edit: sorry for the second spurt of downtime folks, we are trying to solve the performance issues
major perf issues should now be fixed. I think we are running pretty close to where we'd like to see it. gonna take a break now :) 12h yesterday + ~8h today debugging. Enjoy the new site!
p.s. we are collecting any reported issues and i'll try to get working on them soon.
I have added every moderator to my block list, so it's impossible to get banned now.
You've got an 80GB .jpeg just sitting around on your computer?
I'm pretty sure the actual file they tried to upload was absolutely massive. There was a bug in pict-rs which allowed malformed jpegs to consume enourmous amounts of disk space leading to DOS attacks. We were the first time it happened. It has since been fixed.
It’s the original jpeg, I got it directly and rendered it on my last computer to reproduce the image. The bug was that pict-rs would get stuck on attempting to render it (because it could be rendered, technically, with a lot of time) and it would cause a memory leak.
Inline images temporarily disabled
make sure to clear your cache if they still pop up
Hi all, Just pushed a bunch of UI fixes, including:
- inline images are now capped at 400x400. Will iterate on this after discussion with team
- hexbear spinner loading icon
- remove 'link' button next to upbears, moved to bottom row
- fixed report dialog in mobile view
- featured posts accordion should default to open
- fixed apple favicon and also mobile favicon
- fixed hover on featured posts changing color.
I've said it before I'll say it again. Great job dev team on the lift and shift. This was not easy and y'all did great. Issues will get raised and get tackled, but I'm already seeing a huge improvement on response time, time outs, and lag in general (plus the inline image disabling is probably a better permanent solution than some may think). People are going to be quick to complain about change and highlight issues, but please take some time to congratulate yourselves.
Y'all are phenomenal and we're lucky to have you.
Congrats to the dev team & everyone else who put so much effort into getting this over the line! It looks great.
We're debugging some really slow performance issues and 504 errors currently
There is too many old threads on the frontpage, i remember that on old hexbear our active sort was tweaked a bit, maybe it could be implemented again
Honestly feel bad for the devs for working hard on this update and getting so much shit for the new ui LMAO. I think people just like the familiar and are gonna take a bit to get used to this, and I love all the new features. Please bring back the pink notification bell and the pronoun tags in different formatting from our names tho 🥺
looks broken
