On the instance I’m using, my comments and posts have disappeared. It is ok?
I had a few helpful comments here that I saved, but it’s all gone.
Having got used to the stability in Mastodon I was surprised by such things in Lemmy as:
Unable to log into your account through the app after an update on the server.
Unable to log into your account through the app if your instance version is out of date.
Just because you’ve created a post or written a comment doesn’t mean other Lemmy users will see it.
I have to constantly check to see if my messages are visible on other instances.
You also need to have many sub-accounts on different instances in case some of the primary instances are unavailable.
I’m willing to put up with Lemmy’s glitches. The vast majority of admins, mods, and developers are volunteers doing what they do (largely for free) simply because they think it’s worth doing. If it were a product I paid for I would not be near as chill about it.
Lemmy was a fairly young project when everyone started piling in from Reddit. If the glitches you’re experiencing bother you that badly, perhaps consider contributing to the project, the network or your homeserver. Open source projects work best when everyone contributes what they can, when they can and as they can.
