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…)
Haha this just happened to me on my very first ever post to Lemmy and I was about to ditch this app. Not really. But I did copy my somewhat long post just in case. And I’m glad I did because I had to refresh and paste again and submit. However, within that issue, I found a weird bug. I had clicked on another post b4 going back to the thread that I wanted to re submit my comment. I checked out my profile to see my first comment and for some reason, my comment got posted on both threads, the related thread and the non-related thread. Devs might want to look into that one.
