So, I know that everyone has been posting reports of the bug where one can be in edit mode for a reply when the screen refreshes and the content (and the edit) vanishes, which is a MAJOR bug IMO. I don’t think that people will continue to use a site where their edits/posts just disappear at random. This hasn’t happened to me yet, but I could understand the frustration that’s associated with this type of bug.

Another bug that I’ve noticed is that, when submit a new post or, less often, when I post a reply, I get a spinning wheel. This wheel keeps spinning for minutes sometimes and, because I actually get REPLIES to the post, I can see that the post has gone through. However, I’m still seeing the spinning wheel on the browser tab where I’m making the post. From what I’m seeing, that post has gone through, even though I still have the spinning wheel during submission. This, is also a MAJOR bug and should be fixed as soon as possible, IMO.

So, the question is, what’s the best method/route to report such a thing? I think that one really big advantage of using Lemmy (as opposed to Reddit) is probably the extent to which the developers work with end users in order to fix such bugs. However, we definitely need to be aware of the proper method for submitting these bugs. TIA!

    Posting the issue to Github is probably the best path if you’re able to do so.
    That allows other technical users to comment and puts it on the dev’s radar instead of relying on a post that they may or may not see.
