I get time out on every single post I make and have to refresh the page, also every time I sign in.
In theory it should improve, but Lemmy.world getting slammed with a ton of new users all of a sudden really made things bad. It’ll take some time to figure out a good solution (e.g. Implementing a way to migrate users to other instances).
Just gotta be a little patient 🙂
Maybe try migrating to a smaller instance? Lemmy.world is massive so that may be a part of it.
Give it some time. Devs have had to go from a nonexistent community to tens of thousands. It will take some time to iron out the kinks especially with distributed open source developers. As for ‘soon’ I’d say probably a week at the absolute minimum. Growing pains of a new technology
True fact bud
Same here, although it’s only like 90% of my posts. I figured it must be on my end, but I guess not.
I know there’s been a spike in users but like cmon. Lemmy has been running for like 2 years. Hexbear has just migrated over and all of their users are already complaining that the site is terrible.
Sure it’s been around for a few years, but with a consistently small number of users. With the massive influx of people over the past few weeks, it’s going to take some time to scale up resources to match the new demand. Plus, the code base has never been tested under this kind of load, so I’m sure there’s room for improvement there as well.
Short term fix would be to join a less crowded instance, or start your own.
Heck, if people are willing to help fund it, I’d gladly create an instance.
First of all, it’s had a tiny userbase, which is why it’s been buggy.
Second, yes there are improvements planned. I believe the next major version is supposed to be pushed out next week and will fix quite a few issues.
Third, even after next week there will still be some issues. That’s the price of being an early adopter. If lemmy.ml is really unstable try an account on another instance. lemm.ee and lemmy.fmyh.ml has been really good so far.
