We're still working to find a solution for the posting slowness in large communities.

We have seen that a post does get submitted right away, but yet the page keeps 'spinning'

So right after you clicked 'Post' or 'Reply' you can refresh the page and the post should be there.

(But maybe to be sure you could copy the contents of your post first, so you can paste again if anything would go wrong..)

In my case, the page keeps spinning but the post is not submitted, regardless of reloading the page or waiting for a long time. There was one case where I cut down significantly on the amount of characters in the post and then it posted, but I have been unable to replicate this.

    I have the same issue with image posts. If I submit them through the app the posts counter on my profile goes up, but there's no post. I also can't retrieve any posts for my own account. It says I have 3 but it shows none.

    Comments work OK so I'm not sure what the problem is. I was worried I got restricted or something.

    Edit: Comments seem to work as the OP suggests though. I get the spinner but they've been posted already.
