I feel like it's daily from roughly 2 to 3pm Moscow time when you can't really reach the site consistently
But it's been that way for a while now, at least for me idk
@ Xi Jinping please pay your shills more so we can run a better propaganda platform
Same. Been logged out two or three times the last few days. I wish Twitter had these problems instead :(
The morning period on (9am to noonish/1pm UTC time) does not work if you're logged in but often works if you're not logged in.
The rest of the day works fine. I have always assumed that some sort of scheduled daily task is being performed by the servers or site during this time that is overloading the database or something specifically for logged in users who are subscribed to different communities and thus must be served different feeds based on those subscriptions.
My assumption is that nothing is done about this because the work that is being done is going into the task of bringing us closer to lemmy dev so that Hex can match their updates better, get federation going, and generally rely more on their work for backend issues.
So yeah, if you've recently changed schedule and are often trying to view the site between these times you're running into something some of us have known for quite a long time now.
I don’t know if the daily spikes in load are related to high user activity (as that would correspond with some prime slacking off at work hours in both the US and western europe…) or a scheduled job.
I definitely think it isn't caused by activity, the time period that this occurs in is about as off-peak as you can get.
Usually happens around this time of day, and has been for a few months now. I assume it's something to do with the servers, either they're restarted or some maintenance process runs that causes the errors that make the site log people out.
Could be spiders like Google/DDG/Bing trying to walk the site, making a lot of requests, and getting really confused. Whatever it is, the periodicity of it really intrigues me.
It makes me have to wait over an hour after clocking in to take my first proper poop break.
My sister in Christ the site is running on a 1998 Dell Laptop with Nader stickers on it and hasn't been updated since Jan 1 2000 out of fear of Y2K.
The admins won’t say it, but the site has been secretly purchased by Elon :my-hero:
I saw this post and immediately started getting repeatedly logged out lmao
I think it would be super nice to revert to that format.
I haven't heard anyone talk about this, but I've had a new persistent bug over the last few weeks where I can't post replies. When I hit "Post" there's just a spinning wheel over the "Post" icon for like forever. What I have to do is highlight and copy my text, then refresh, then it's fine.
Anyone else getting this?
I’ve had this issue for a long time on my phone, if I switch apps and return there like a 50/50 chance it’ll go into like, “read only” mode. Can’t upvote, can’t post, can’t comment. The sort by menu also starts acting weird.
