I'm having the same issues with sh.itjust.works. Also on Boost, also having the same Time Out issues. Can't even access comments. I even tried posting to this thread using my sh.itjust.works profile and it just failed to work. If I switch to another profile like the one I'm using atm everything works OK. I also tried ~~Signal~~ Sync, same issues, so it doesn't appear to be app related.
Its really weird.
Perhaps I need to stick on a different instance for a little while to see if it happens again.
And I guess I should try out another client to see if I experience the same problems there.
I'm a little confused by your Signal comment though. Is there a Lemmy client with that name?

Are you on mobile? If so I tried turning off my WiFi and just using data and it seemed to help, which is even weirder.

No, sorry, I meant Sync. Amended.
When I time out again, I will try mobile and see what happens. That would be strange for it to work then... But since the network is reset in the process and the data is taking a different route... That would at least mean something.
I just noticed you are posting from lemmy.world rather than sh.itjust.works. when you say you are having the same problem as me, are you signed on to the sh.itjust.works instance when you get the time out?
My primary instance is lemmy.ca and I am signed on to that instance when I have the timeouts.
Yes, I'm having the problems with sh.itjust.works instance. I've moved to Lemmy.world whilst this issue is ongoing just so I can actually use Lemmy.
Ha! Exactly. I made a .world for this reason.
I just saw your other post about this. Are you specifically getting "time out" like I am or other messages?
Yes, Time Out, same as you.
No issues here. Using Jerboa.
I've experienced the occasional hiccup, but have no hard proof that it's not my internet. There was one incident where my comment in this post got copied multiple times, but it was a single event so not enough to discern a pattern, and it could well have been a problem with my client instead of the server.
That is odd, I'm on Boost as well and haven't noticed this. I'll pass it along to the team and poke around!
The outage was a hardware issue and I don't think we changed any site configuration since then. At least on our end, having the hardware replaced seemed to have fixed the occasional hiccups we were seeing.
In the meantime, could you try clearing the app's cache? Boost lets you make a backup of the settings, which can help give peace of mind before doing resets.
If anyone else has this problem, please do share!
Ugh. Decided to select the All feed and scroll away. And... it timed out after one "page"** worth of posts...
And boy did it stop on the worst post ever... (Note the time out error)
** I'm defining "page" as the number of posts displayed until you have to click the "next" on the standard web UI.
Thanks for the response. I have one inkling of an idea that might be a cause, but it really should affect the whole app rather than a single instance.
I've cleared the cache already but perhaps I might try backing up and clearing all data. Gonna keep monitoring for now.
