Thanks to a comment by @[email protected] , I checked and saw that ‘Federation debugging’ mode was enabled. I had enabled that when the server just started (less than 3 weeks ago) and I had an issue with federation.

I thought I had switched that off again, but apparently not. This mode causes the federation to be done in the foreground, so your ‘Post’ or ‘Comment’ action will wait for that to finish…

This solves the most annoying issue, and makes the site way more useable. There are many other issues, but we’ll get there.

    Thanks for the update, @Ruud, although while we’re on the subject of posting issues I have a problem with one particular post that I am trying to add to a community here that I moderate.

    Basically, it’s a long list of archived Reddit threads that formed the bulk of our subreddit’s wiki. Each item in the list has a hyperlink that leads back to a Reddit post.

    I have tried to submit it about a dozen times over the past few days and twice again since you made this post, but all I get is the little spinny wheel of eternity and the post is never successful.

    Is that because of an issue with external links or something else, do you think?

    Edit: ok, apprently it’s a known issue with Lemmy.

      Maybe a part time solution for now would be to use “just paste” it’s a better paste bin alternative and put there all the links in and link only to just paste

        Yeah I could, but I’d prefer to have the list local to lemmy.world so users here can browse through the index locally.

        It’s not a huge deal, but I was more wondering why exactly the post isn’t being accepted by the lemmy.world server.

          Might be still a early limitation or simply bug. Maybe contact the lemmy Devs I think they are on github

      Have you tried changing the language to english?

      I had the same problem just now when trying to reply to a post.
