Is there a bug in the new Google+ UI or is post moderation in effect?

I've tried posting twice in "Code Rants", but while I see my post in my profile, it doesn't show up here, neither in "All posts" nor "Code Rants" section.

It seems when you post something, you don't see a copy of it, but everybody else does. You have to wait until someone posts a reply before it's visible here.
ReplyDeleteDavid Schwartz Google sure knows how to fuck things up...
ReplyDeleteSo, is this a feature or... :)
ReplyDeleteBtw if the post you were talking about is the TBidir one, I couldn't see it either. I had to go to Asbjørn Heid profile to read it
ReplyDeleteyou have to post it to the Delphi Developers group here, not your personal area.
ReplyDeleteDavid Schwartz I did, I even specified "Code Rant" when it came up, twice.
ReplyDeleteI dunno. I personally dislike this entire approach. It's too much like Facebook where everything is all stuck into one long timeline with no explicit partitioning based on topic or context. I much prefer the way discussion boards are set up to keep different topics partitioned into different areas. This approach requires that people use tags to find related stuff, and it assumes that everybody will think to use the same tags for the same stuff, but if you're looking at the same thing from different perspectives, it's highly likely you'll pick different tags based on your perspective. That makes it complicated if not virtually impossible to search for anything, even when you know it's here.
ReplyDeleteDavid Schwartz It is a bit amazing that G+ is so sucky to search given it is Google's baby.
ReplyDeleteDavid Schwartz maybe we should be doing something like Jeroen Wiert Pluimers and wiert.me, ie. storing somewhere things we might find useful in the future
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I hang out in G+ only because a bunch of other Delphi fans do also. It has to be one of the worst systems for finding/navigating through posts
ReplyDeleteAgustin Ortu it's in fact the most important reason for my blog. I'm terrible at remembering details. But I'm pretty OK at using Google.
ReplyDeleteG+ sucks, everything else sucks way more... or maybe my experience is limited....
ReplyDeleteNot that I am aware of. Did you do a full refresh? I've noticed that the mobile G+ is very slow on updates now.
ReplyDeleteI wrote yesterday a question, that appeared with big delay in the community (maybe approval from moderation?). After a while I switched back to the tab with my question to find any answer but there was no answers. I hit refresh, still no answers. But I got a notification: There is a answer (a /sub comment). Ok, I hit refresh again: still no answer, but activity said there is an answer...
ReplyDeleteToday I got another answer, but the first answer is still missing...
I would try a complete refresh (Ctrl-F5), and if that doesn't help - delete the cookies.

Sometimes posts - posts with link in particular - are automatically placed into a moderation queue. I'll start adding a comment every time I "release" a moderated post for clarity.
ReplyDeleteWe could migrate to Google Groups - but I am not sure if it would be a step in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteLars Fosdal please don't move to Google Groups. In my opinion, it's even harder to track responses on it than G+. Besides there are enough Delphi related forums/newsgroups/etc. Heck: the German ones even organise their own conference! forentage.de - HOME
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the URL of my TBidir post, it's different than the others in this community, it has my name in it for one... so yeah I dunno
ReplyDeleteI hate new G+...
Lars Fosdal Noting when it's been released would be great.
ReplyDeleteI'll add a comment:
ReplyDeleteReleased from #AutoModerate
Please do note that I actually do sleep at night - so not all releases will be immediate :)
ReplyDeleteIt is baffling, really. Google came about because of search capabilities. As many stated above, G+ sucks at it. Someone wrote "even worse that facebook", yes because fb allows for subcomments (1 level reads). So why are we here? Because everybody else notable is. The whole economy around things like fb, g+, twitter and so on and so forth is based around the nuber of accounts/users. Google understands THAT at least. For sure.
ReplyDeleteThen another thingie about the non-existant capture. Interestingly enough Google is the company that's claiming to have developed and deployed a RDBMS with world-wide capture. I.e. if G+ used that engine it would be as snappy and capturesque as any centralised accounting system. You would be able to charge your clients counting notifications. Alais, G+ is the complete difference to that.
But i assume that coders' communities aren't the milkoing cow of G+. Adding some thread possibilities and code-formatting stuff would not kill that beast of a company.
BTW Agustin Ortu are you "G+:=raping" Lars Fosdal? You: "...I couldn't see it either. I had to go to +Asbjørn Heid..." if you did not have his password how did you know he posted at all?
Dany Marmur nope, saw this post, opened his profile and there I was able to reach the post. It also happened to me as well a few months back
ReplyDeleteLars Fosdal I'd prefer Slack. There is a DelphiTalk team, there..
ReplyDeleteWho would be paying for it, David Nottage ?
ReplyDeleteThousands of users and thousands of posts means, we would hit the 10.000 posts limit very fast.
Agustin Ortu, ah, i'm stupid..
ReplyDeleteI just post on Bug & Issues and I could not see my post... I see it only in my personal page. Could it be in moderation queue? I've already did full refresh etc.
ReplyDeleteHas the same problem. Posted big post, but don't see in the communuity...
