Any way to tell if it’s app or server? (midwest.social)

So lately it’s gotten to where trying to load my “Subscribed” feed on Midwest.social results in an error with nothing loading, so I was curious if there is any way to tell if the issue is client or server side? I subscribe to about 70 communities, roughly half of which are local and the remaining being federated. I did go through each one individually the other day and they all loaded, so was thinking it could also be the sheer volume of feeds trying to load.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions, and keep up the great work on the app!

Could you provide us with the specific error message that occurs when this happens? You can view it by tapping the error popup or in the error log (Settings -> Advanced -> Developer -> Error Log).

Optional(Server error: 504) (Mlem/FeedSortPicker.swift, init(feedLoader:showTopTimescaleInIcon:):44)

Thanks! That does look like a server error—generally 504 is a gateway issue. I suggest bringing it up with your admins.

Will do; thank you for taking a look!

I swear it was happening almost every time right up until I posted…😂 And hasn’t happened since. If it does again I’ll get you that info, thanks for letting me know where to find it!
