I unwittingly tried to create a group that already exists. The create button just spins for a moment and reverts back to a create button. The user gets no error message. Calling this a #LemmyBug.
One of the many cases where the Lemmy frontend does not display any error message that the backend gives. It’s an known issue and likely will not be fixed in the official lemmy-ui frontend as the developers decided to rather re-write it from scratch and only do minimal maintenance on the lemmy-ui frontend.
I think sooner or later we will switch to another Lemmy frontend (current favourite seems to be Photon) as I am not overly convinced that the official re-write will be much better than the current one (as it uses some obscure and not very popular Rust based web-framework).
Leptos is not obscure and not very popular :P
just young but it’s promising
Maybe, but it has strong NIH vibes like most Rust projects and Lemmy is really suffering from that. I am glad that the alternative front-ends at least mostly use more standard libraries like Svelte that are well developed and widely supported.
