I don’t know if it’s a problem on my end but today I’ve got the following error several times while reloading pages:
404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/siteI have to quit the browser and wait a few minutes before I can connect again. Never happened before.
I’ve heard a few more people who had that. I’ll investigate
Thank you!
I’ve also been getting these.
I don’t know if it’s a problem on my end
These are internal failures with lemmy-ui talking to lemmy_server and not understanding it got an error message or timeout back. Not on your end. Every busy Lemmy instance I’ve been testing on has these problems right now.
Is outbound federation a known issue?
I’ve just tested inbound from sh.itjust.works and it was instantaneous. But my outbound posts that have worked take hours and none have succeeded for days.Understood. I’m not just trying to get content to sh.itjust.works, though. outbound from here to .ml, kbin, and fedia have all failed. I’ll test kbin inbound.
kbin is not instantaneous. It has not appeared and I assume, due to instability, is likely lost. If it comes through I will update with time.
The kbin test comment posted there 4 hours ago according to time stamps. So 5 hours from previous comment
I’ve been having outbound federation issues from lemmy.world with both kbin.social and my personal Mastodon server, social.goodanser.com. I’ve also had people report to me that posts and comments are not showing up for them on feddit.de.
I’ve had problems with posts not showing up on sopuli.xyz, so I’m guessing outbound.
Here’s one of the posts I think never made it through: https://lemmy.world/post/300681
yeah, I’ve got multiples not making it through.
sh.itjust.works to .world is istantaneous, posts and comments. other way is failure. but, sh.itjust.works to kbin.social also has either failed or is taking a long time. But that connection might not be as established.sh.itjust.works to lemmy.ml test was instantaneous for a comment.
so something is amiss here
Here’s a similar report, this time with feedit: https://lemmy.world/post/440406
Top comment by @[email protected] says the new version coming tomorrow fixed this issue. Guess we’ll see.
Thanks for all the work to keep the community running, Ruud!
Do you already know when Lemmy.world is gonna be running lemmy 0.18?
Seconded re. Lemmy 0.18, just because the latest Jerboa release won’t support Lemmy.World until it’s updated. Edit: don’t pull the trigger on a Jerboa update if you’re a Lemmy.world fan.
Just wanted to say thanks Ruud for all the work and expense. Your diligence is obvious. Thank you.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you do. Thanks for the awesome instance.
One thing I’ve noticed being in the UK. If I come in early morning here it’s pretty dead. But if I come in late afternoon it’s really chatty and busy. So I’m assuming most people who have migrated here from Reddit are in the US? Not a bug related problem, but it would be interesting to know where in the world everyone has migrated from. Not sure if that’s possible though.
another cause of the infinite spinner: you are trying to sign in, but you haven’t verified your email address yet. solution: check your email, click the verification link that was sent to you.
The content of one instance can be very out of sync with another.
Example, this thread in beehaw is visible here in lemmy.world, and at the time of writing, not even a 3-day-old comment shows on lemmy.world.
I have been subscribed to this community from beehaw in lemmy.world for those 3 days, which as far as I’m aware is the only pre-requisite to sync. But if syncing takes longer than 3 days…

Hmm, the original thread/community seems to be at beehaw.org, right? Since both of the threads you linked to are referring to the community “[email protected]”.
Beehaw is even down right now, so I am guessing that any syncing issues with other federated instances might be caused by a bottleneck at beehaw.org…?
I still don’t fully understand how Lemmy works though, so I am not sure.
Beehaw is defederated with lemmy.world, so those posts won’t be updated with the content from beehaw.
Yes, you are right. But it had 3 days to sync. The oldest comment is 3 days old. Here is the same thread visible from another instance, much more up to date. I hadn’t noticed that beehaw.org is down though. That could explain it. I still find it odd that this instance would not have a single comment on this thread over these 3 days but… yeah I’ll take that explanation for the time being, I’ll check again when I notice beehaw is back up.
Do you know how the fediverse works regarding this?:
- If I comment now on that thread on any instance, say, on lemmy.world or on the other I just linked, does it need to first sync to beehaw before it propagates to other instances or would other instances get load my comment even while beehaw is down?
If we take beehaw being currently down as a possible explanation for not seeing any of that thread here then I suppose first the comments need to reach beehaw.
I may as well ask another question, any idea how I would find that thread easily on lemmy.world? I tried pasting the full URL in lemmy.world’s search but didn’t find it, I had to manually go into that community in lemmy.world’s instance and dig through the history to find it. In this case I assumed I would be able to find it by searching the full URL since the thread already is visible in lemmy.world, even if with no comments.
beehaw.org is back up. So lets see how long until that thread updates on this instance.
edit: Ohh… but beehaw.org is blocking lemmy.world So what would that mean for lemmy.world? Would the normal behavior be that we can see the thread’s main post but not any comment?! I thought it was the other way around though, that they don’t get any content from lemmy.world but lemmy.world can still fetch theirs.

No, the block goes both ways. Lemmy.world cannot see anything on beehaw.org, and beehaw.org cannot see anything on lemmy.world.
Think of it in terms of one user blocking another on a regular social network.
We’re all still learning, but check your facts before posting this type of info so you don’t add to confusion about defederation.
@sss had it right. We can still see posts from beehaw, just not comments. If we comment on the posts or make our own posts, they only show up on [email protected] and won’t go to beehaw. And syncing seems to be about 3 hours behind there, but that could just be the general sync issues right now, unclear.
Would it be possible to have a setting to open posts in a new browser window, leaving the home feed in its own window?
At least as of this timestamp, https://lemmy.world/post/660260 says there are 4 comments but there are actually only 3 comments.
It’s a known bug in Lemmy 0.17.4 and I still think in 0.18.1 where editing a post can trigger that count to increase. I’m not sure if there is an open GitHub issue on this.
Every timeOccasionally when I click on a new post from the front page, it displays the content of https://lemmy.world/post/483076 with the comments of the new post, and I wonder why absolutely everyone is talking about baseball.This has been happening to me intermittently as well.
Things seem to be working with beehive now, too
Whenever I upvote a comment or post a comment myself, it expands all of the comment chains I’ve previously collapsed.

Lemmy appears to track on the server side what posts you have read, so it can show this in the UI. That is terrible for privacy since someone bad could seize the data. If reading history is tracked at all, it should be on the client only.
