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].
I have the same thing happen semi-regularly. My test post to Lemmy.world as myself (essentially trying to make a post to my own profile) results in the spinning wheel button indefintely. Retrying and recreating my post also has the same result. Additionally, trying to comment to some communities such as !nostupidquestions (I’m guessing the r/nostupidquestions community equivalent here) as well as here (!Lemmy.world) also gives me the spinning wheel buton indefintely at times, but works other times. If we’re doing something that is restricted, I would appreciate an error message, or somethng else that will let me troubleshoot the issue.
