Bug reports on any software

When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

After sending a DM, the profile lacks access to it. I can see my posts and public comments, but not my DMs. Thus there is also no way to read or edit DMs Lemmy users have sent.

update

As @viking@infosec.pub points out, sent messages are accessible in the ALL tab. Once my DMs are rendered, indeed there is an option to edit them just like a public message. But presumably due to another bug, Lemmy recipients are not likely notified of edits (untested).

If I go to the inbox and switch the view to "all messages" it shows my sent and received messages.

But yes since all messages are federated, even personal ones, you can't edit them.

Ah, right I overlooked the ALL. I was sure I had been able to reach sent msgs in the past but forgot how and wondered if the option had been removed. I just corrected the title and added an update.
