I added some known issues with websockets / spinning wheel to the known issues post
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/site
I have to quit the browser and wait a few minutes before I can connect again. Never happened before.
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?
The content of one instance can be very out of sync with another.
Example, this thread in kbin 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 “Programming@beehaw.org”.
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.
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.
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.
Just wanted to say thanks Ruud for all the work and expense. Your diligence is obvious. Thank you.
