I'm trying to be very patient with the technical issues so far because I know scaling is not easy.

The bugs that jump out the most are:

Sometimes Jerboa shows comments of a previously viewed post on a different post. If you comment, it'll go to the old thread. To avoid this, swipe down to force a refresh.
SORT BY HOT doesn't work. (But you can sort by New, all instances)
"Could not value type java something something", honestly this is when I wait a bit and just try again. I have no good workaround for this one.

I definitely have experienced 1 and 3, but haven't realized at least if I'm also affected by 2 yet although I will check.

For 1, I also have to refresh the new post. Annoying and sometimes confusing but not a deal-breaker.

3 drives me crazy though. It basically breaks the app. I'm on Jerboa.

I think the cause of 1 and 3 is that lemmy.ml is currently overloaded because of all the new users and Jerboa doesn't handle that very well

My guess is that it gets a 502 (which is HTML) while it expects a JSON, tries to convert and fails.

It should catch the 502 based on the status message and then do retries using exponential back-off.
