Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?

I'm a bit worried. Since the upgrade to 0.19.0 I have been getting 1 on all my comments. Indicating either my normal engaging personality has left me, I never was and the pity has stopped, or maybe I'm not being seen.

Tommy can you hear me? Can you feel me near you?

Tommy can you see me? Can I help to cheer you?

Sorry, I can't see this message.
- What message?
  
  The one we can't see. You know, the one right up there.
  
  The one you were just playing. The one inside your rusty innards thwack.
- Could you type a little louder? I can't smell this comment at all.
- Reminds me of the Big Train sketch.
  
  Lol, that's absurd and hilarious

You get a reply just because it's the quality of your post
- I'd have been happy with a down vote or anything. I even tried a more controversial take to see if I could get kicked to the curb. Nothing worked. I was just being ignored.
  It was like being back in high school again.
  
  Looks like all your recent posts have plenty of interaction

There’s a bug on v0.19 that is affecting outgoing federation. I believe it’s fixed on v0.19.1.
- Pretty giant bug to not get noticed in testing
  
  What’s testing?? /s

Relax.
I’d like some information first….
Just the basic facts
- Can you show me where it hurts?

New phone, who’s this?
- New dis, who phone?
  
  Dis new, phone who?

All of lemmy seems to have slowed down massively. The "active" sort shows the same posts for days in a row, and the "hot" sort is now as slow as "active" was before (same posts for a couple of hours to a day at most).
It really seems like there are like 80% less active users than just a few weeks ago.
- It's the holidays. And the strike is over, I have work and can't spend that much time shitposting on social media anymore.
  
  The strike?
- Probably because people are leaving due to the extreme lack of niche content and the same armchair activist bullshit constantly taking up the feed and comments sections.
  
  You don't like Lemmy's reposting of Reddit's reposting of Xitter?
  
  people are leaving due to the extreme lack of niche content
  Gotta get active and be a creator for such content yourself then, eh? To raise possibilities to get other actives around while at it.
  armchair activist bullshit constantly taking up the feed and comments sections.
  I encourage to ignore or block communities/users/whatnot that don't add any content to your interest or cause harm for ya.
  
  Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, ~~Linux~~ ~~Duck Duck Go~~ Firefox?
- I noticed this as well, can't see much new content and there's usually very little interaction. Looks like it's time to yeet myself back to Instagram
  
  Instagram
  No! Don't give in. Stay strong fellow human
- Infinite scrolling seems broken on Jerboa, when I go directly in a community and sort by new I get the same content as when I sort by top 6h 🤷

I have become comfortably numb.

Relax, I'll need some information first, just the basic facts, can you t show* me where it hurts?

Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
- Boring conversation anyway. We're gonna have company!

Just hijacking your post and concern to say that I love the cover version of Comfortably Numb by Scissor Sisters. If you are Pink Floyd purists, don't even bother.
- I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan and I also love the Scissor sisters version. And I normally don’t like many covers of songs at all. I think there’s just something special about that one for me.

The only one-comment post in your history for the past week or two is let it snow.
- Le tits now
  
  Académie Française in shambles
  c'est multiple titties, so is "les", you rosbeef language vandale!

I've noticed the same, but when I check other instances, it seems like all my comments and posts still arrive at the other servers. I think it's just that most Lemmings are busy preparing for Christmas.
0.19.1 is out, that did fix at least one bug related to the ActivityPub endpoints.
- I surely missed the 0.19.1 as I just upgraded to 0.18.5 and then 0.19.0 ...
  Invisible posts galore! Right??

Dave’s not here, man.
- Get out of the house!

I had similar problems, and also had read posts stay on my feed. v0.91.1 came out yesterday, and seems to have addressed a few issues for me.

Funnily enough I've also noticed that my comments on Lemmy.ml have only been getting 1 point in the last week. Probably because they're not interesting enough but since you mentioned it...
- Commenters never cease to surprise me. I thought this would be a concerted effort to maintain the upvote/downvote average at 1!
  
  It's just occurred to me that that would be difficult to do on Lemmy, since not everyone's federated to the same instances.

WITNESS ME

Interesting, I've swapped to scale sort and everything seems a lot more active

hunter2? That's the kind of password an idiot would have on their luggage!
- Did you mean to comment on this post? Because I really don't understand the reference you're making. I'm thoroughly confused.
  
  It was probably meant for this comment.
  Here's where hunter2 comes from:
  undefined
  
  hey, if you type in your pw, it will show as stars ********* see! hunter2 doesnt look like stars to me ******* thats what I see oh, really? Absolutely you can go hunter2 my hunter2-ing hunter2 haha, does that look funny to you? lol, yes. See, when YOU type hunter2, it shows to us as ******* thats neat, I didnt know IRC did that yep, no matter how many times you type hunter2, it will show to us as ******* awesome! wait, how do you know my pw? er, I just copy pasted YOUR ******'s and it appears to YOU as hunter2 cause its your pw oh, ok.
  
  Yeah, I was replying to a comment which I can't find now. Not sure if lemmy is being lemmy or if it's just because I was drunk when I commented...

It was very quiet for a bit. The update screwed federation, but my instance updated to 0.19.1 and posts are showing up again.
- Can you read this post? Thanks.
  
  Yes

EVER SINCE I WAS A YOUNG BOY
I PLAYED WITH HAIRY BALLS
FROM SOHO DOWN TO BRIGHTON
I MUST HAVE PLAYED'EM ALL
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT
IN ANY SWIMMING POOL

I've heard you can get banned from an instance other than your own and it isn't obvious it's happened, not sure how common that is or how to tell

Who's yelling at this time of the night?

I don't think I've ever seen you before but howdy, how's it going
- Good now that I know I'm not alone! Nice to meet you!

Looks like it is working to me!

This is patrick

'ello :)

what

No, no one's here

I just wanted to join in

[Oilcan]

I still think you're engaging and charming. Even if you were quiet for the last two days.
- Well well 😌

Helloo...

Tommy! Pick up your phone and check Lemmy!

Rosebud

*nods.

I have been having the same problem from lemmy.sdf.org, no idea if this comment will be seen by anyone 😭
- I'm on SDF also, been having the same problem.
  
  At least we can see each other!

Yes. My last instance lemmy.one is stuck on 0.19.0 and it's turned into a ghost town

Where am I? Who are you? How did you people get here?

Speak up buddy I can't hear ya!

Right here i am!

Still no reply from Tommy though.

Your post history is showing your last comment was 2 days ago. If you've made other comments since then, I can't see them.
- I have, inn fact I posted a comment that was possibly the best comment ever commented, one that could have brought peace and unity to all peoples and prevented any future needless hurt or harm.
  Now it's gone and I've forgotten what I said.

Hey this is happening to me too. All of my comments are sitting at 1. What is going on? It happened all at once.

I totally dig your musical tastes. Big fan of Tommy and TDSOTM. Cheers dude.

Updated jerboa and I suddenly have the ability to see more than five posts. Very nice
