Hi everyone. Phenomenal job with the app, it’s really looking like it could replace reddit with no trouble.
I’m getting timeout issues though, every time I upvote something. I’m sure it’s nothing but I wanted to give you the heads-up.
One more suggestion is to make it easier to find communities on here! Then it’ll be perfect.
Thanks again :)
Timeouts might be from the server struggling since the reddit blackout is bringing in a lot of users at the same time right now. I’d wait a few days and see if the issue disappears or maybe a second account on a lesser known instance might help.
I’ve noticed (although on the .ml instance) that even whenever GET requests go through fine (albeit a bit slow) POST requests don’t actually return a response. After 60 seconds they will timeout, even if the operation actually does complete successfully. This happens mainly on voting and making comments from what I see.
I seem to be getting them about 30 seconds after each interaction, such as upvoting or clicking on a thread to load comments.
I’d imaging it is a massive influx of users periodically overloading it.
Possibly related to this: Expect some brief restarts today (Jun 12 CET).
I think its best to just use the lemmy web instance interface to subscribe to communities on all kinds of instances, and then they just show up in Jerboa. :)
Timeouts may be because you are using an overloaded instance like lemmy.ml when you should spread out on other instances. :)
At least for me, I noticed subs worked but wouldn’t show up in the list UNTIL I restarted the app.
Yeah this is quite an annoying issue so far. It keeps popping up randomly. Not sure if it’s related, but sometimes after this happens I also get a blank screen. I can live with it tho, growing pains are to be expected
+1 on the blank screen, it forces me to use the back button on my phone then click the post again. Quite annoying but still better than not having the app.
It is also happening to me, both on the app and the Web UI
