Comments won't post randomly, I try to upload images and some work and others don't, then when I try to repost none will upload at all (I've resized my images too). Currently, trying to load this community, it will not show any posts but I can see them on my feed. Am I doing something wrong? I feel like it's been this way for a week and it's making me lose interest in the platform if I can hardly interact with it anymore, it sucks

edit: just wanna note that I know the devs have been working their asses off to support the wave of like, tens of thousands of users; I just wasn't sure if there is a secret cheat that I'm not privy to that would help my experience since it's been consistently buggy for me

I've posted about this before but the responses didn't quite help. I'm trying to add !stoner_rock@sh.itjust.works. on the browser on mobile, I go to communities and search for it with communities and "all" chosen. I searched for "stoner", "stoner rock", "stoner_rock" and "!stoner_rock@sh.itjust.works". Nothing. It also won't come up in Jerboa. So it seems like no one from lemmy.ml has interacted with this community before, I get that, but then how do I go about getting it added?

So I just downloaded Liftoff and found a couple of communities on an instance I'd never heard of before, and I decided that I wanted to subscribe to them on my lemmy.ml profile. We are federated, and when I view the communities through the main instance I see a bunch of posts and subscribers, but when I try to view them through lemmy.ml it says there is 1 subscriber (me) and no posts. I tested this on my mobile browser. Jerboa, and Liftoff all with the same result.

Is this one of those cases where it's a bug and will sort itself out, or am I doing something wrong? I don't wanna miss out potentially cool communities if they just aren't coming up for me

I'm wanting to connect with folks on the ground trying to do the work to unionize their workplace

I'm in the midst of unionizing my workplace; my department signed cards and were expecting to get voluntary recognition as the second department to unionize got it. Seems that's not going to be the case. We have all been pretty quiet about organizing and are still; now the inexperienced "leadership" of our organization has been controlling the narrative in all staff meetings (they are optional). He is very careful to not union bust outright, but we know that he's planting the seeds of anti union sentiment when we already have a mixed bag of beliefs on that within the staff as a whole. He's also got some of the top union busting lawyers in his ear telling him what to say and do, obviously.

I'd like to talk to newly minted union members, those in the fight right now, and those who won their first contracts whether they were big victories or not so much. Connecting to one another and talking strategy and inspiring one another is so important. I work in social services and have connected to other agencies in the same field that have Unionized and it's proven extremely valuable. Regardless of the field, though, we are all workers and should come together in solidarity for our efforts!

What is your industry, where do you work, where are you in the process?

So I want to add the extreme metal community which I believe is on feddit, and the hardcorepunk community on lemmyworld and for some reason they don't come up at all on jerboa or my mobile browser...is this a glitch situation, or am I not adding them correctly? It seems on both jerboa and the browser, adding the ! Links don't pull up communities, they only come up if I type the beginning of the community names in the search bar. The majority come up when I do this, but some such as the ones I mentioned don't come up no matter how I try to subscribe to them. What am I doing wrong?
