personally I’d say it’s a Jerboa thing. the app should retry loading because sometimes I refresh after this happening and it immediately loads the proper content.
with all the different instances this sort of thing has to be kept in mind
Just retry is usually a bad ideia, specially that this problem is probably an overload, just adding retries can makes the problem.even worse with the app ddosing the server
Lemmy realy should not randomly emit errors for no reason, there should be no need for retries in this case. If the specification specifies a JSON response, and the server randomly provides HTML, that is a bug in the server.
When you get a 502 error, that’s not coming from lemmy, it’s coming from nginx. If you’re saying that nginx should send any error data along with the status in json if the accept headers require it, that’s a task for nginx but it wouldn’t happen in this case anyway since the json wouldn’t be what they were expecting anyway. The app should be handling non success responses better is the point being made here.

Twitter has some experience with that
