Getting an error page sometimes when visiting a popular Lemmy instance is normal unfortunately. The popular instances get a lot of traffic, and that is probably what causes this. I have had this happen with Lemmy.world a few times so far.
Even on Reddit this wasnโt that rare. They just have a system in between that hands you a nice error page with a sad looking Snoo and an error message.
Yeah, it's less common in the era of modern cloud computin and 99% uptime, but in the era of the fail whale wasn't that long ago. The fediverse is a whole new tech paradigm run mostly by hobbyists. It's going to have to grapple with those same problems as it grows
As exemplified by your comment accidentally getting duplicated four times :]
That's probably a kbin UI bug
Lol, yes it was. It failed to submit a few times and I finally left thinking it hasn't posted at all. Guess it got queued with giving the frontend feedback.
phew i thought i was having a stroke in some of these threads!
Oh god, wtf is happening here? D:
