lemmy.ca is an absolute trash pile
Same as the other person that commented on your original post a few hours ago, I’m not able to replicate your issue. A lot of people are using the instance and I haven’t seen mention of the sorting issue, so I suspect it might be something with your browser / extensions setup.
You’re free to comment how you feel, especially because it sounds like the experience hasn’t been that great for you, but I still feel that people here are happy to help you troubleshoot. :)
Some other steps you can try:
- See if you can sort on one of the apps, that would narrow down the issue to the web UI: https://www.lemmyapps.com/
- See if you have the same issue on one of the other instances. I suspect it would be the same on all instances running this version of Lemmy (0.19.5). There is a new version of Lemmy out, but a lot of instances seem to be waiting a few days in case it introduced any issues.
- Some browsers have a troubleshoot mode, which can tell you if one of your extensions or themes is causing the issue: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_3-restart-firefox-in-troubleshoot-mode
I went back to your previous post and saw that you’re seeing the same issue on desktop and mobile, which makes me lean towards the browser extension issue. Try one of the apps, or try booting Firefox in troubleshoot mode?
