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Unable to log into your account through the app if your instance version is out of date.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.

    18 Years ago I was more patient with things like that. Today my patience is only for shit that matters.

      aaaaand why don’t you think that taking the time to work out the bugs on this platform matters?

      you do realize that this - all of this here that we’re participating in - is part of a big experiment run purely on volunteer work by a community-driven effort, and is entirely funded thereby. there’s no corporate effort at play here and no megabucks to bankroll it. that’s kinda the point of it all. so, if you’re dissatisfied with that state of things or by what you perceive as a lack of progress, I suggest you roll up your sleeves and dig in, contribute your time and effort to the development, or find some other way to contribute to the project and/or community in furtherance of its goals.

      whining here about those things will get you precisely nowhere— especially when you either imply or outright declare that any of this doesn’t matter— or the idea that you’re entitled to something for nothing.

        My family matters. My work matters. My pleasure activities matter. Whether or not some rando on the Internet is able to read my comment really doesn’t matter.

          nobody here doubts that you’re selfish and self-centered with no care for anyone but yourself.

          Whether or not some rando on the Internet is able to read my comment really doesn’t matter.

          then why are you here trying so hard?

            You’re calling me selfish for caring about my family, work, and real life things instead of the Internet? That’s just sad man.

              What’s sad is that you have to twist my words to excuse your behavior.

              And if you really didn’t care, you wouldn’t have been spending the last couple of days trying so hard to convince me.
