Agreed on IZ, that emote has been renamed :iz-shaka: (and tagged appropriately so it's hopefully still findable)

The rest is tbd, thank you for your efforts making it, and your patience!

Hmm... Has it happened on the regular themes or just Rblind? The only other thing touched at the same time was the warrant canary, I believe, but I can look into it.

Hey, putting a link here too for visibility, we've added a set of extra-readable/low-vision themes for the Hexbear UI!

 

Hi all!

Just wanted to put out there for feedback that we've added the RBlind set of themes (credit to rblind.com for making them available).

Known bugs (incompatibilities on our end, nothing to do with the theme creators):

  • usernames are too small
  • Some button colors are hardcoded to magenta
  • Username/pronouns preview is borked on light theme
  • Featured posts box is slightly misaligned compared to the XL up/downvote buttons
  • I haven't tried it on mobile

Try it out under the Themes drop-down on https://hexbear.net/settings !

It's fixed

(thank you for letting us know)

New pronouns require a small amount of dev time to add, but it's pretty easy normally. My bigger concern would be the ongoing rebase of our customizations onto lemmy 0.19.6. I've asked in the dev chat!

Working on this very site. So nothing cool, no

I really hope we can restore the old Active algorithm, it's still on the table afaik, but I'm told the way that lemmy's database schema works has changed enough that it isn't trivial to switch back to.

Also dosent all modern operating systems have extracting files Just build in regardless of the format?

We will be down for ~30 mins. If you can't get in after an hour, check our Mastodon or twitter for updates, or try force refresh, clearing cache, etc.

EDIT: doing another quick hotpatch. You may see some interruptions

 

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
