jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

the main one I'm still having repeatably right now is that sometimes when I go to post something, especially a comment, the button does not seem to work, so I press it again thinking I missed and it gets posted twice. I also sometimes have an issue where up/downvoting makes a thing pop up saying "null check operator used on null value". it also happened when trying to unfollow a community from an instance I had recently blocked.

  • That was something I specifically tried to fix in the last update (the posting button not appearing to work). After the update, almost all buttons that connect to the api have a loading indicator now. Would you be able to verify you are on the latest version: v0.7.1.
  • I have seen that error before (null check), which I can definitely try to investigate, but I'll likely need more context (such as a post it happens on) to be able to figure out exactly what's causing the issue.

I'm on the latest version. I've only seen the null check thing on stuff from other platforms but as mbin is fairly small thats just what I use, so I doubt it's related.

I'm a bit confused then; there should be a loading indicator that displays once the button is pressed, which prevents you from tapping it multiple times. It should look like this now: .

If this isn't too much work, the next time you have the null check error show up, would you be able to comment back here (or dm me) with exactly what you did, including which post/comment it was you were interacting with?

it does seem to have the loading thing, I'll reply again here if it still happens or maybe mention it on matrix (same username).
