I tested this on multiple browsers and systems. Our All/Hot has been like this for 2 days. If I leave it long enough, multiple minutes it will sometimes load a bunch more and get stuck in weird update cascade that will use up all my RAM.
None of the other instances I tried have this issue. It seems to happen whether I’m logged in or not.
It’s a known issue with Lemmy, it should be fixed by next release.
0.18 is gonna fix so many issues. Glitchy feeds when a new batch of federated data comes in, glitchy vote numbers on posts, performance improvements, post ranking on feeds, etc.
But I only see it happen here. Are there other instances with the same issue? Or a github post about it, do you know?
Does it only happen here? Paging @TheDude@sh.itjust.works and/or @manifex@sh.itjust.works. Is there something wrong with our hot_rank column in the database? Is the update not triggering?
EDIT: Jumped on the Matrix chat to ask
As far as I can tell, yes. Only here. The screenshot shows FMHY updating, and I checked a few more before hand.
Got an answer from TheDude on matrix chat. That is a known issue fixed in 0.18, but some instances are using the untested patch to fix it until then. He doesn’t want to roll out untested code with potential side-effects, so we’re stuck with the issue until it comes down the pipe.
A solid choice, IMO. Good to wait for releases rather than roll your own unless you have a VERY good reason to.
Ah, that explains a lot. Thank you.
Nope, I’ve seen it happen with lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, it could be that it happens more on servers that are under stress.
Same here, wonder what’s up with that. I haven’t tried on other instances, though.
Give it a shot if you want.
I actually have a lemmy.world account, but it’s so laggy, I can hardly log in.
I just sort by new only it’s kinda like roulette but fun!
