I will also note that there are three patterns when I post a comment that may or may not be related:
it just publishes when I hit the button
I hit the button, it thinks for a second, and then the button is intractable again. Pushing it again works so far in every case (i.e. it seems something goes wrong but no UI error. I haven't had dev tools open to see what happens there. This feels like it took to long for me to reply in some cases, but not all).
I hit post and get moved to a new page which is just my post with a preview. I'm not sure if this is just how it works with certain sites or something or also related.
Still getting it very frequently. Sometimes no amount of refreshing will allow me to vote on something. Here's the latest URL: https://fedia.io/ef/1184232?choice=1
Y'all are great. Feel free to ask if you need me to try anything. I haven't touched PHP in years, but I am a software engineer, so feel free to be as technical as you'd like.
Normally, if I refresh a page once and immediately vote, it works. In this case, it has never worked.
This happens periodically and it does not seem to be specific to any instance (I've seen across posts from several both in terms of the OP or the instance of the commenter).
My gut says potentially issues with timezone somewhere and my offset (UTC+9) is potentially far enough out that it's an issue. I have no evidence for that. Looking at the request and response in dev tools hasn't yielded anything particularly useful so far as I can tell.
It might only be with certain instances. I just noticed it wasn't happening on a lemmy.world post I'd had open for a while. It could also have been something temporary. I'll try to sport/report any patterns.
I've noticed recently that I'm getting errors trying to vote on any posts in a discussion I've had open for more than maybe a minute (I haven't actually timed it). I don't remember it from before these issues, but I also switched to this instance just before. Might it be related?
Seconded. I would rather default sort by old and read discussions in order and manually switch to new if/when I come back to the same discussion later.
