SERIOUS posting issues, IMO... (lemmy.world)

I'm seeing some pretty serious posting issues. If a user can't post, I don't see Lemmy being able to move forward. This "spinning wheel" will be the death of Lemmy IMO if it doesn't get fixed. I mean damn, I'm trying to create NEW content! I have a Lemmy tab in my browser that's been spinning for the last 30 minutes, at least. On a POST. Which means that people lose EVERYTHING if it fails. OR, it's working and they don't know it, which is equally bad. This is an untenable situation IMO. If this doesn't get fixed, kbin or something else takes over. I HATE this because, at this point, I've invested time and energy into Lemmy! I want Lemmy to succeed, but damn!

I'm not even sure that THIS will post, but I'm gonna try...

Try creating an account on another instance, smaller or closer to you location-wise

This doesn't work because, what if everyone has to do this? Untenable IMO. I hope this post finds you...

I can see the post and all of your comments fwiw

Related: I seem to be unable to post an image. Was about to add some content on the Guitar Pedals community, but being unable to post an image also impacts building the community.

It may be a good idea to always use external image hosting to lessen the load lemmy has to carry. You can still embed it in your comment.

Could it be a DoSS attack? I’m not en expert and I don’t want to point fingers, but would a small DoSS attack not look like this? Please correct me if I’m wrong. (I’m using lemm.ee in the meantime, until this issues get resolved)

Is it me or it gotten better last 24h? Sure, I still need to wait a second or two for upvote to register but I've written a few comments today and if I choose the language it gets posted immediately

The admins recently updated to the latest RC which fixes a bunch of things.

Aand I just lost my previous post. Three paragraphs. Untenable IMO...

You're on the largest instance which is under severe load. Hundreds of other instances are running just fine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This. Exactly.
