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

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?

One of my favorite doom albums

I grew up listening to grunge but only ever listened to the radio songs by Soundgarden. Recently started digging into them and they fucking rule. Not doom, I know, but the riffs are surprisingly heavy as fuck; wouldn't be surprised if they were lifted by newer doom bands.
