I just got burnt. Wrote up a relatively high-effort post in:

http://mandermybrewn3sll4kptj2ubeyuiujz6felbaanzj3ympcrlykfs2id.onion/c/water

clicked sumbit, and it simply ate my msg. Redrew a blank form.. no way to recover the info loss. This is my 1st use of the onion, so I did not think to enable 1st party j/s (which is strangely off be default in noScript on Tor Browser despite clearnet sites having 1st party js enabled by default). It’s unclear if it’s a JS problem or if it’s because the onion version uses a quite old/classic reddit-like theme. In any case, it sucks.. it’s a defect for sure.

Thanks for pointing this out... I am very sorry that this happened. I have not tested the .onion front-end much.

Sorry for missing this post, I was traveling during holidays last month.

The server that is serving the .onion front-end is running only that service, and so I doubt it is ever under heavy load. I am not sure if this was a problem with the onion network itself, with the front-end, or the instance. When I looked into options I could not find examples of Lemmy instances using .onion front-ends and I picked the one I did because it does not require JavaScript.

I will make an effort to use the .onion site myself more often and I will look for other options.
