Earlier today, I identified the root cause of an issue causing annoying 502 errors intermittently. If you've ever had an action infinitely load until you refreshed the page, that is this issue. I deployed a fix, and am slowly scaling it down to stress test it. If you encounter an infinite loading occurrence or an HTTP 502 error please let me know!

UPDATE: Stress testing complete. Theoretically we should be equipped to handle another 5k users without any intervention from me

Is it this post you're referring too?

There was a recent migration of the /pictrs folder here and some thumbnails didn't get stored whilst submissions were still occuring, and I'm not sure editing a database is wise to fix it. Disclaimer, am numpty.

Nope from other instances like this one and this one and this and this and this one is in android community and this and this, ok I think this is enough

yeah, all images federated or uploaded in that time span are lost. Weird how it works but actually this server caches all images from others

That's really weird doesn't the server automatically re-fetch the images and thumbnails from the other instances when the cached ones are gone?

you'd think so, right? Lemmy has a lot of quirks

[–] Im28xwa 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah and taking a quick look at the GitHub repository there is a lot of space for improvement
