I’ve been getting a connection timeout every now and then
It is a cloudfare site saying that the connection issue is at lemmy.nz
At about 11am this morning, the host had an outage of maybe 5-10 mins. That would have been not long before you posted this post.
Are you still seeing issues or was it only at that time?
Second time I’ve seen it this year.
But didn’t last to long
The cloudflare message happens when the server can’t be reached. This can be for many reasons, but generally it’s when it can’t be reached at all (as opposed to just being slow).
Other than today, I can think of a time in January where I was updating Lemmy to a new version, that was for about 10 mins.
There might be other brief periods where the host has issues with the server or other issues on the rack.
We also have a bit of downtime coming up next week when the hardware gets upgraded, but I’ll do a post with more info once I know more.
Clearly I’m on Lemmy too much
Haha just the right amount!
Lemmy is far, far more stable than it was when the instance launched 18 months back, but it’s still not perfect (or even good). It’s not uncommon for me to find the UI hanging while trying to load posts, but it normally only lasts a few seconds.
I’ve seen other admins complaining recently and some things to try offered so I have it on my lists to make some changes and see if I see an improvement.
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.
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 😆
