Posting slowness issue seems solved!

Thanks to a comment by @[email protected] , I checked and saw that 'Federation debugging' mode was enabled. I had enabled that when the server just started (less than 3 weeks ago) and I had an issue with federation.

I thought I had switched that off again, but apparently not. This mode causes the federation to be done in the foreground, so your 'Post' or 'Comment' action will wait for that to finish...

This solves the most annoying issue, and makes the site way more useable. There are many other issues, but we'll get there.

Was that what caused the timeout error on Jerboa after up-voting ?

My brain has also been operating slower than usual recently. Please fix.

Seriously though, keep up the good work! 👍

At least it was only for a few weeks and didn't live in production for years 😂

In the case of logging sillyness it definitely feels something like

DEBUG: Tree
DEBUG: Tree
DEBUG: Tree
DEBUG: Tree
ERROR: Wood
DEBUG: Tree
DEBUG: Tree

this is what mine usually look like...

DEBUG: Here
DEBUG: Here_2_2
DEBUG: Here_3
DEBUG: Here_2_2
DEBUG: Here_3
DEBUG: Here_2_2

DEBUG: TryCatch Here100

Seems to have fixed the Jerboa for Lemmy timeout issue!

25

So much faster now, thank you! It's always solved by some random setting you forgot to change.

The best part about lemmy.world is how open and hard working our dev team is! Thank you!

Cool! I’ve noticed a significant improvement this morning!

Oh man I thought that was "Just how Lemmy is…" and resigned myself to baby-sitting my posts.

Thanks for checking and correcting the issue!

BTW, as a sprout on Lemmy.world is there an official "Bug Report" mechanism we should be using?

15

This is that community. It supposed to be the meta community for announcements and questions about the server.

The memes and random junk here is all off-topic, I hope the mods get it under control because it makes it impossible to help anyone with questions or track server announcements.

2

Yeah, it does feel a lot better already. Thanks for your work maintaining this instance!

12

Awesome! Things feel noticeably smoother on Jerboa this morning. That explains it!

Appreciate you and your team's diligence. I'm glad lemmy.world is where I crash landed.

Edit: Wow that comment posted like 5x faster... Definitely an improvement!

10

I can definitely tell there is improvement. Thank you for the hard work! This place is great thanks to you and all the others like you!

Started getting 404 as soon as I tried to reply to you. Now looks to be working (haven't checked for a while).

Faster, definitelly.

2

I'm also here to test it.

[Edit] For me, in this instance, it worked very fast compared to the past few days.

2

Great news! Now you just need to post this to /m/programminghumor 🤣 Thank you!

Nice! Do you notice any change in other metrics? CPU/Memory usage?

Off-topic: @[email protected], what is the best way to report someone to the instance admin, in order to get them banned from the instance?

8

It seems to use a bit less CPU.

You should just report the post/comment they made. The community mods as well as the admins will receive the report. If it's really bad, you could e-mail [email protected]

lemmy.world

Hooray! And thank you.

Are you aware that creating a new account sometimes gets a spinner that seems to hang forever too? Is that related?

Ruudreply
lemmy.world

As far as I know that can have 3 causes:

  • Username already taken
  • Password too long
  • Username too long (>20)

Could you have a look at https://lemmy.world/u/limbodev? I tried setting it up last night and got the spinner and no confirmation email. I can see the account was created, but get the spinner if I try to log on to it.

Ruudreply
lemmy.world

Hmm there's something wrong with that account.. investigating..

10

I've been trying to create a few accounts on different servers today (not for spam, for dev work :-) and it seems to me that this is happening primarily when I try to create accounts from Safari. If I fire up Chrome everything runs correctly, so this may be a UI issue rather than backend. I don't know if that helps or hinders...

If you are able to reset or delete limbodev, that would be appreciated!

Ah, yep, left the debug on. An understandable oversight, if I had a nickel for how many times I've forgotten that...

Thanks to a comment by @[email protected] , I checked and saw that ‘Federation debugging’ mode was enabled.

OMG, I just realized this user's actual handle after doing a re-take. At first I thought it was a nuclear physicist who had discovered the issue!

Hats off to @LargeHardonCollider. This person wins the internet for the day, IMO... ;)

Thanks for the fix ! I also thought it was a general lemmy issue and not a lemmy.world one.

Edit : I seem to still have the "wheel keeps spinning, have to reload to see my comment posted" issue, is that the one you're talking about here ? But tbf it was an issue I even already had on Reddit (mobile web) so I can't be mad 😅

5

Its about 1 second to post for me which is so much faster, however I don't see the comment I posted until I refresh the page (Firefox for Android)

2

Wow, i figured that was just a lemmy issue across all instances. Thank you for figuring that out!

5

Ohh wow that's great now. This needs a cross post to whatever the new /r/itttttt

I noticed the slowness when using the api, sometimes it wouldn't even respond, thank you

Thanks for all your efforts, must be quite a challenge when the subscriber numbers treble in a few days.

Excellent, hopefully the snappier site convinces those who were concerned about speed and ease of use to join.

Thanks for the update, @Ruud, although while we're on the subject of posting issues I have a problem with one particular post that I am trying to add to a community here that I moderate.

Basically, it's a long list of archived Reddit threads that formed the bulk of our subreddit's wiki. Each item in the list has a hyperlink that leads back to a Reddit post.

I have tried to submit it about a dozen times over the past few days and twice again since you made this post, but all I get is the little spinny wheel of eternity and the post is never successful.

Is that because of an issue with external links or something else, do you think?

Edit: ok, apprently it's a known issue with Lemmy.

Maybe a part time solution for now would be to use "just paste" it's a better paste bin alternative and put there all the links in and link only to just paste

Kabereply
lemmy.world

Yeah I could, but I'd prefer to have the list local to lemmy.world so users here can browse through the index locally.

It's not a huge deal, but I was more wondering why exactly the post isn't being accepted by the lemmy.world server.

1

Might be still a early limitation or simply bug. Maybe contact the lemmy Devs I think they are on github

Have you tried changing the language to english?

I had the same problem just now when trying to reply to a post.

lemmy.world

I'm not able to post to c/news since I just get a spinner icon forever. No one else has posted there for the past day either, and there has been plenty of news since then. I've been able to post to some other communities. So something seems to be wrong specifically with c/news which surprisingly isn't a highly active community like its reddit (or should I say deaddit) counterpart.

I just tested and I can post there... Can you maybe retry (perhaps in a fresh browser window?)

2

it seems to happen at random , wasnt able to post on 3 different comments in a post ( endless circle ) even swapped VPN servers / cleared cookies and cache and relogged .

30 min later was fixed. maybe some hiccups still from federating.

That happens when replying to people on instances with strict languages rules (e.g. Kbin)

I hope the language chooser will be UI wise fixed. It is not really usable.

Happens specially if you run such a service which literarily explodes so fast.
