Nah, it happens for me too. It doesn’t seem to happen (as much) using alternate frontends or apps, so I think it’s the actual front end that is freezing (on the server side) rather than the lemmy backend.
I have some tweaks to try and some instances are running multiple UI containers which I might try as well, just need a chance to test it all first before doing it on the live one, and there’s also a minor lemmy version to upgrade to as well. So many jobs 😆
Thanks for the support! One thing wouldn’t be so bad but I have another dozen I run on a home server, and I’ve been making some big changes so trying to tidy up that first (especially so I can free up the space for cloning Lemmy’s 300GB+ of data to do a test run). I’d hoping that work will be complete soon so I can create the lemmy test instance and try out some changes plus test the lemmy upgrade.
I’m going to try to work out the setup running multiple front end Lemmy containers because it’s super annoying when it freezes up. People shouldn’t have to switch frontends just to use Lemmy!
Sometimes the UI hangs for me and I can’t do anything but it might be partly the old tech I’m using to access it.

Good to know about the alternative frontends.
I don’t know how you do it, but I’m glad you do. 💛

Just had the freeze problem and the alternative back end works fine. So, thanks for the tip!

Silver lining is I like this front end better (The old.lemmy one).
Oh nice! Yeah that can be pretty nostalgic.
Unfortunately I always get stuck with mod/admin activities on the alternative frontends so end up back on the default one.
Fingers crossed that one day a lemmy mod/admin will write a client for you.
I really like info-dense screens.
