Are you not annoyed by Lemmy's constant glitches? (lemy.nl)

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Unable to log into your account through the app if your instance version is out of date.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

Sounds like your instance have federation issue, probably due to v0.19.0 updates. The latest version, v0.19.1, supposed to fix those federation issues. Not sure what's the server specs of your instance, but v0.19.x has increased database ram usage compared to previous versions, so if the instance is hosted on a tiny server, the admin may need to do some tinkering to make sure the federation process doesn't crash due to out-of-memory issue.

Unfortunately, seems like 0.19.1 didn't fix it. I still have issues on some instances and posts. There is still something wrong with federation. Hope it gets fixed soon.
