Lemmy.zip's 3 Month Anniversary (and Survey!) (self.home)

Hello all,

Today (September 10th) marks 3 months since Lemmy.zip was first set up 🥳

Since then we've grown to over 1.5k users, we smashed the canvas event, we've upgraded the server twice, and we have loads of vibrant local communities popping up.

I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has joined here and helped build this awesome instance.

We'd like to continue to grow this instance in a sustainable and community-driven way, and so we're looking for some feedback on how you think things have gone so far, and what you'd like to see happen in the future. To that end, we've set up feedback.lemmy.zip with some questions for the community, if you have 5 minutes to answer them.

To make sure only Lemmy.zip users can access the survey, you'll need an access code, which you can get by sending a pm to ZippyBot with the text #feedback and ZippyBot will reply with an access code. Apologies this is a bit convoluted, but we only want genuine answers from Lemmy.zip users.

We'll probably leave the survey open a week or two.

Thanks again for being here! Demigodrick

I’d be happy to take the survey but the link to the bot / access won’t load for me…

Also since the recent update I noticed my feed behaving a bit sluggish, and thumbnails won’t load any more. Is this related?

[–] Demigodrick 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you using an app/front end or directly through the website?

[–] GregorGizeh 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am using the voyager app, I will try without

Edit: can’t access lemmy.zip using safari / iOS. Firefox for iOS loads instantly though. Perhaps an apple issue?

Edit2: oddly enough, using Firefox I can’t log in. The button just doesn’t do anything.

Could be a cache issue - can you try the following (I dont have an iphone, so google suggested these are the steps needed)

  • To clear your cookies and keep your history, go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data, then tap Remove All Website Data.

Edit - do you run an ad blocker/pihole - something like that?

Unfortunately this is t a cache issue. Firefox mobile has been broken since we moved to version 18.3 for me on Firefox. I posted a bug report to the lemmy devs but nothing has been done about it yet.

As for safari I have never gotten it to work on my iPhone with lemmy. Unfortunately the only mobile browser I have gotten to work on the iPhone is chrome and I really hate using that browser.

Thats really interesting - I don't own an iPhone so I can't test this personally, but does safari share logs or warnings somewhere so we can see why the site doesnt load?

Edit - might be worth sticking to m.lemmy.zip on IoS devices on safari - that should work?

Edit 2 - it could be an ios or safari privacy setting too?

[–] Efwis 1 points 1 year ago

The log system on IoS is very rudimentary and doesn’t show anything useful. For the most part it is only activated upon a crash.

As for using m.lemmy.zip the results are the same as well as with v.lemmy.zip. But, iirc, both front ends were originally designed for android based systems.

The only other mobile browser I have is chrome which I try to use as little as possible due to their data collection policies.

[–] GregorGizeh 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Done, I cleared everything for good measure. Still won’t load though, I also didn’t have these issues before.

I also don’t use a pihole or vpn etc., all I have is Adblock plus and noscript on my desktop Firefox installation, those shouldn’t do anything for my phone though

[–] Demigodrick 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'll drop you a PM - if you can't access this let me know

Edit - can you try m.lemmy.zip instead? Does that work?

[–] GregorGizeh 3 points 1 year ago

Pardon the late response, messaging works fine.

The mobile address is also working as expected in safari. Will now try to take the survey again
