it happens when reloading a page or navigating back. it shows me a different user's account in the top bar -- worried that if someone hits stop during page load, they'd actually be able to impersonate another user's account. this appears to be random and I've seen several different accounts over the course of the day. ... read full post

these comments were removed for transphobia because they're kind of close to attack helicopter ahit but I don't think this is a tranaphobe making a joke, it's just a enby with an unconventional gender identity. it's not up to us to decide thir identity isn't valid. I'm open to having my mind changed - if it's invalidating others' identities somewhere - but absent that I don't think this is transphobia. ... read full post
Over and over again I edited the "body" for this post - https://hexbear.net/post/438570?scrollToComments=false ... read full post
Edit: I tried a third time. It didn't work either.
It finally worked.
I don't remember the name of the theme, but I feel like the bisexual color palette matched the logo well and was pleasing to the eye. How difficult would it be to modify it and use it for the newer site?
I had a lot of anxiety and obsession with getting upbears in posts and comments and felt a weird competitiveness that wasn't healthy. It's nice being able to turn off the number of votes and just engage without trying to literally score points. ... read full post
I use the site through my phone's browser, which is how I've always used it. Recently I'm being logged out almost every time I refresh or go to a new page either by clicking a link or using the back button. Is this a known issue that's being worked out?
The title literally says it all. I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same way but it really bothers me. The problem could be easily fixed by just indenting replies a little bit more. I would contribute this change myself but the last time I did any front-end development I was almost fired from an internship.

I can see my own deleted posts as well as other people's deleted posts. They are not deleted!

filter feed by local, navigate to any post, browser back button to feed. 'Local' is still selected but page is showing posts from other instances. Can anyone replicate?
For formatting reasons I intentionally incorrectly wrote the HTML entity ZeroWidthSpace; without the &. If I type the entity correctly - the site strips it out even though it's in code tags. ... read full post
Libs are getting banned too fast. They should get a little time to demonstrate whether or not they're here in good faith, and a little time to get dunked on if they're not.
Let us play with our food before we eat it.
I am interested in posting AI-generated content on your instance and I would like to know your stance on this matter. It would be helpful if you could make it clear on the instance rules whether or not AI-generated content is allowed. I am looking for an instance where I can post AI-generated content without attribution, as I like to give the AI an idea for a post or comment and have the AI complete it. I feel like I shouldn't be attributing the AI. If there is a community just for AI-generated content, I would create the post there and link to it wherever I thought it was relevant. Thank you for your time and consideration. ... read full post

ive seen other users mention this problem. im on iOS 16.3.1 using Safari. it started happening yesterday and got worse today. even refreshing the homepage logs me out
I tried to post a thread with only emojis in the title
I tried to post a comment that was too long
In both cases, I clicked to post, and the button changed colour and just stalled. I had to figure out by myself that the problem was the submission was against the requirements; it cost me some minutes of confusion.

So this has been happening since the first lemmy upgrade. ... read full post
Since the XSS incident a couple of weeks back, I hadn't been able to log in, or even sign up for a new account. All attempts at either ended with the spinning bear. Now, presumably because of the upgrade, I have been able to create a second account to post this, but I can't log in to my original account, AppelTrad, because it prompts for 2-factor authentication. ... read full post

It wasn't ok to change the position of the reply button as a joke.
