Lemmy is written in rust, that's a java error so the issue lies with the app you're using not Lemmy itself (maybe)

    The cause is a 502 from lemmy.

    Jerboa's handling of that error is also terrible but that's another issue.

    Memmy doesn’t do well with it either.

    Of course it doesn’t bode well for the instance itself that it’s throwing so many…but it’s unclear if that’s an operator problem or a code base problem.

    It could also just be a server load issue.

    Lemmy.world, the community the instance is hosted on, has been having a few issues between the 0.18.1 update, and the amount of users on the platform.

    Is there a good Lenny app because so far wefwef hasn’t been great for me.

    Jerboa or just in the browser. Honestly though most people's issues are likely to be because they joined a huge instance which is falling over due to load. Consider making a new account on a smaller instance.

    Can you explain why? Are you using wefwef on Android?

    I’m using it on iOS and don’t get me wrong the app looks beautiful. I’m finding issues with communities not loading posts, comments or general sync issues. I have an issue where trying to reply to a comment would overlay the comments over the textfield.

    Lemmy's Rust code uses an ORM called Diesel that masks the SQL statements and you really have to watch the PostgreSQL server independently to verify that the SQL isn't doing wild things like loading thousands of records when you only needed 3. Just today people are finally sharing some information out of the big servers (lemmy.world) as to what PostgreSQL side says is actually happening. Hopefully the biggest mistakes are going to get cleaned up quickly.

    You know at least it printed an error. I hate when things silently swallow errors.

    I'm looking at you, Python programmers:

    try:
       <100 lines of nonsense>
    except:
       pass

    Afaik this is not an error from Lemmy but from nginx, which is not able to relay the request to Lemmy and therefore returns a 502 bad gateway response. Imo this just means the servers are over capacity, so most likely a scaling/infrastructure issue.

    I had a quick read of the code and it looks pretty solid to me. Not the most "enterprise" code imaginable, but definitely no code smell or quick hacking job.

    that's Jerboa issue but probably because It received something from the server that it shouldn't

    Is it a lemmy issue or a jerboa issue?

    Serious Answer: This is a Jerboa issue. Lemmy is written in Rust. The error message is a Java error which is what native Android apps use.

    I think it's both, actually. Lemmy is often giving html where json is expected, and Jerboa isn't handling the error well.

    🤔 The server spits out html when it cannot reach the backend. So one could argue it's a configuration issue because the admin didn't provide enough capacity / didn't set up a proper generic json error for backend failures.

    FWIW, Liftoff doesn't handle these super gracefully either.

    At any rate I think it's kinda awesome that we get to witness these kinds of infancy problems.

    Well, what should Jerboa do? Pretend it received content?

    If it's Jerboa/Android app issue, why do I get JSON errors using Lemmy on my desktop PC with Firefox? Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I have very little programming knowledge.

    I've seen this on both Jerboa and Connect. And even just now
