I can see this being very taxing on an instance's network resources, maintaining and sending the complete list of communities that it has access to every time a request like this is started.
How would that even work?
Any given instance only has records of the /c's that its users have joined, and there are likely plenty of /c's that its users have not joined.
What if some instances have disappeared, along with their /c's? There are some zombie /c's out there because of this, and those could really use some cleanup because their content is still in the caches of many instances.
What about de-federation? What happens to de-federated /c's?
I can see the error eventually by clicking search and random a bunch, even without clicking or swiping back. Maybe the random functionality is pulling up a community with bad data or weβre getting rate limited. Not sure!
If you are on a random community, you can also βpull to refreshβ (pull down from the top of the list), which will load a new random community. Does that work properly?
Interesting, I didn't know you could do that!
But it doesn't really work.
It seems to cycle between "Failed to find random community", [email protected] , and [email protected] - which is a /c that I subscribe to already
It is working fine here (iOS)
I am using Android v 2.9.1
I tried on my iOS device, v 2.9.1 and it's behaving similarly to what I describe in my reply to @[email protected] who told me about pulling down to refresh:
It seems to cycle between "Failed to find random community", [email protected] , and [email protected] - which is a /c that I subscribe to already
but in iOS v 2.9.1 it adds [email protected] , and [email protected] - which returns a "nothing to see here" message, and some Korean NSFW /c that has never come up again after coming up twice.
