As the lemmy.ca community has been growing, I've begun to look at some of your /c/communities and ... things are bugged. I can't really post or comment very well on my https://lemmy.world account.

So I created this local https://lemmy.ca account to maybe bring attention to this federation problem.

I'm not sure if this is due to the growth of https://lemmy.world, or some configuration issue on the backend. But I figure that tracking and testing my account access from both sides can help everyone get to the bottom of this.

It's not just federation. For at least a good week, those with certain clients would get messages about it being an outdated version. Apparently they're waiting for a patch to fix captcha's before moving up so, fair enough. Content actually continued to load.

However, today opening jerboa crashed it when attempting to contact lemmy.world. Only clearing out disk/cache helped with this, but this of course resulted in all accounts being logged out, and the lemmy.world one being unable to login again (possibly due to the version mismatch, possibly due to other issues).

I'm hoping what things get patched up it'll be good again but for now Lemmy in general is more of a beta, and I fear it'll get worse as Reddit drops the hammer on the API and kills 3rd-party clients
