Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I consider my musical tastes to be broad and Pink Floyd remains one of my favourite bands of all time.

Tried to search for this artist’s internet presence and all hits either require a user account or don’t work at all…some days, the web really sucks…

No such feature exists yet on the desktop version, but I am sure it’s on the wishlist already. Apps might be able to implement this themselves, but I can’t say whether any have yet.

Edit: clarified

No worries, and I completely sympathize with the situation. My hat is off to you site admins, and the lemmy devs, for keeping things afloat these past couple of weeks, often at great expense of both time and money. I am confident that all of these kinks will be ironed out in the coming months, and in the meantime I am happy to have a few alts to hold me over.

It isn’t just Lemmy.world, and isn’t limited to v0.17 either. Lemmy.ca, which has been running v0.18 for days, is also not seeing a lot of federated content, nor accurate community subscription counts from other instances, including lemmy.ml and others running v0.18. I’m posting this from my .world alt because .ca is showing zero comments in this thread.

There have been several not-so-friendly comments made about the issues by someone in [email protected], calling out the site admins of .world and .ml for not sharing their server logs, and the overall silence on the issue. The user’s concerns are genuine, but I don’t agree with their behaviour.

I suspect the devs were/are completely overwhelmed by the mass influx of redditors these past two weeks. I assume someone is looking into it, but frankly I wouldn’t blame anyone if they chose to step away for a few days. I think a lot of folks (particularly “the masses”) forget that these are largely volunteer efforts, by people with day jobs.

I do wish this wasn’t the case. It easily allows for abuse and makes it harder to identify a community in the post metadata, especially on mobile.
