Hi, i didn’t find anything using the search, so i just wanted to know if any issues are known causing those error messages, which need a few reloads to resolve; additionally, voting on an post often takes 2, sometimes 5 or more tries.
i already tried:
- logged in/out
- with my VPN(Mullvad, on by default) and without
- Firefox / Vivaldi / Edge
- wired / wireless
and before i get into the weeds with the abyssmal support of my ISP i wanted to know if any of you have encountered the same issues.
I have gotten the “there doesn’t seem to be anything here” error message a couple of times. Might be due to blocked or removed instances or posts (in my case at least).
Some lemmy apps (on Android) have different ways to handle things. I have been using Eterniry on and off after the recent update it got and I can tell it’s much faster than Jerboa for loading images and posts but the overall UI seems slower. I tried mulitple apps as well in the past and they all have their own sets of issues which is to be expected.
The rate limiting error may also be due to you logging onto multiple devices/apps at once. A few days ago I had the same issue when I logged off and logged back in with Jerboa and Eternity within a small interval of time.
If you suspect your ISP, test with proxies and wireguard obfuscation within the mullvad app on your phone (and desktop as well if you want more accurate results, like that you can have more than just one result from one device). Try also to change your country to one that is closer to you to see if you might see some difference. It could be that you get timed out by the servers you’re trying to reach with the VPN tunnel that you’re using.
Wait I’ve had the same issue on eternity+jerboa+Firefox. Could I ask what mlmym is and what alternate you are using now?
dbzer0 is also the only instance with this issue
mlmym is the frontend used ("old.lemmy.dbzer0.com). there are more:
- p.lemmy.dbzer0.com (“proton”)
- v.lemmy.dbzer0.com (“voyager”)
- a.lemmy.dbzer0.com (“alexandrite”)
I haven’t seen any rate limit errors like that myself. Does your browser consoles network tab show any errors?
I don’t see anything like that
ah you’re using mlmym. That frontend has been flakey lately and I don’t know why. I was planning to try and update it in case there’s a new version. Try using a different frontend for now
The only one of those that I see sometimes is “there doesn’t seem to be anything here”, I think that mostly happens because a post that was already on my front page got removed in the meantime, so it can’t be found anymore.
