We’re still working to find a solution for the posting slowness in large communities.
We have seen that a post does get submitted right away, but yet the page keeps ‘spinning’
So right after you clicked ‘Post’ or ‘Reply’ you can refresh the page and the post should be there.
(But maybe to be sure you could copy the contents of your post first, so you can paste again if anything would go wrong…)
Does this behaviour appear on other big instances? E.g. lemmy.ml?
Yes. Absolutely does happen on other instances that have thousands of users.
Great, so it’s reproducible and Lemmy-the-app related, not instance-specific. Should be fixable across the board once it’s identified and resolved.
Yes it does, tried this workaround before.
