I’m not sure whether it’s an issue with Federation, synchronisation, or something else, but I’ve noticed that sometimes, when writing a post, and submitting it, the Lemmy interface will hang on some posts, getting stuck on the loading circle, which is probably related to the known issue with the interface not sending or interpreting errors correctly.
As an example, I was writing a post and a comment on a non-local community, and noticed that I sometimes had to copy the post, cancel the “sending” post, and paste it, and try again for it to “take” and the post to send successfully.
However, since I can’t recreate the issue reliably, I’m not sure whether it’s an issue with server load on lemmy.world, or an issue with Federation.
EDIT: I checked some of the posts and communities that I was having issues posting in, and it seems to be affect both local and Federated/remote communities.
One of them was on !nostupidquestions, and another was on [email protected].
Do you happen to have any other Lemmy tabs open?
Yes, I tend to open posts in a new tab, so I can look at something else while writing a reply. Does that cause issues?
Lemmy uses websockets which can cause issues with multiple Lemmy tabs open. Try closing the other lemmy.world tabs when posting, that should solve it.
Ah, good to know, thanks!
You’re welcome!
