      I am not sure what you imply. Like Early Access it might be a descriptive factor, but it matters very little. Some use that label for finished products with full support adding new features, while others use it as a means they skipped quality control entirely or are prototyping heavily. In the end it still is a paid for software. In Lemmy’s case it is the first with its own financ model. It is highly usable and hopefully this bug sees the improvement in testing to avoid.

      LibreOffice has a much higher version number, but as my small rant post on it, if I was responsible for QA I wouldn’t have let it release at all in the current state and am baffled what goes on internally to cause that.

      for the most part federation works just fine. there are occasional issues, yes, but it’s not like it can’t federate at all.

    Am I little naive in wondering how this isn’t caught in unit, integration and E2E tests?

    Edit: looks more involved than that, but it forced me to dig into how some of the components are tested. Educational.

    Yup, absolutely nothing I posted from lemm.ee yesterday made it out into the wider world. In fact I’ll probably have to manually federate this comment too.

    Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it. Maybe next year we need a rule about releasing anything in December when everyone’s too busy to bugfix 😅

    I’d say the bug seems to be slightly different from my observations, in that things are leaky rather than broken. Could be wrong though.

    Edit: previously post was mobile keyboard mince meat:
