Ever since things came back up after the Jan 5th outage, I’ve started to encounter regular timeouts. I will scroll past a couple dozen number posts and then it will stop as of there are no more. Within a few seconds, the application produces a time out error.

I use Boost for Lemmy as my client, but I’m not convinced that the issue is the app since switching my instance allows me to continue scrolling without a problem. And to be clear, prior to January 5th, I’ve never experienced a timeout in the app.

I’m curious if I’m the only one experiencing timeouts on Lemmy.ca. If so, then I’m curious if the admins are aware of any issue.

    Alright, @[email protected]. Here’s some more information.

    General Findings

    • Problem occurs on the WebUI as well while logged into Lemmy.ca.
    • Problem occurs regardless of WebUI front-end used.
    • Problem occurs regardless of Andriod apps used.
      • Exception: Eternity (Nightly). I don’t know if they poll for information differently or what, but I can endlessly scroll without issue at the moment.
    • Error outputs are unfortunately inconsistent between FEs. (The standard mobile UI shows no error and sim.)
    • Problem occurs both with and without VPNs employed.

    Findings by Server

    • lemmy.ca: BE: 0.19.7
      • Problem instance and My primary.
    • lemmy.world: BE: 0.19.3-7-g527ab90b7
      • No issues observed. Logged in with Boost & Voyager using alternate account.
    • beehaw.org: BE: 0.18.4
      • No issues observed. Logged in with Boost using alternate account.
    • lemm.ee: BE: 0.19.8
      • No issues observed. Logged in Anonymously via Voyager Android App.
    • feddit.uk: BE: 0.19.7
      • Will try if/when they approve the account request.
      • Really want to try this since they are using the same BE as lemmy.ca
    • lemmy.sdf.org and another instance with BE: 0.19.3
      • Will try if/when they approve my alt accounts. If someone knows an app where I can browser sdf as anonymous, then I can do it now.

    Errors By Application Note the differences in how the error is presented. Sending timestamps and IP to @[email protected] via DM for the following:

    1. Boost (Android)

    1. Voyager (Android)

    1. Photon as Android Firefox PWA via lemmy.ca

    1. Lemmy WebUI via lemmy.ca

    simply renders empty after the timeout. this was page 2

      I suspect something might be funky with your account, rather than the network / apps. The timeout message is a lie, you’re really getting 400 / 499 errors that seem to be related to this lemmy error message:

      and:

      I wonder if it could be a bug related to the unicode name you’ve got going on. Did you set that recently, or has it been like that since day 1?

      I just restarted all of our docker containers, see if that helps? If not, try setting a normal name and confirm if that changes things?
