kbin.social has been unusably slow lately? (kbin.social)

The front page seems to work alright most of the time but when I try to load any thread it either loads so slowly(sometimes like 30+ seconds) that I end up closing the page or I get hit with a Error 50x page that has been saying "Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure." for a long time.

Expanding images on the front page also tends to be slow.

Sometimes I get the 50x page when trying to do various things like posting a thread, upvoting, blocking and so on.

I feel like I haven't really seen anyone else mentioning it, is this just happening on my end, is it a known issue, if so then when can we expect things to get better?

Sadly it's quite effectively training me to not come here often since it rarely works.

No slowness here. I occasionally get 50x errors with posting, and rarely when doing other things. The other day I submitted the same content multiple times because it gave me a 50x error, but it accepted the submit then gave me the 50x. So i had to go back and delete the other threads it created.

Like when I posted this thread it didn't send me to the thread after posting, it stayed at https://kbin.social/new/article and gave me the 50x error.

Yeah, I'm still seeing this bug when trying to post a thread or a picture post. "Link" posting seems to work alright though, but I can't post any other type of content... It's been this way for about a month. I'm sort of losing interest since I can't really post threads - I can only comment.

Supposedly a big update that fixes a lot of things is coming soon

You might not be able to see this comment but hopefully can see the first few words in the notifications page ^^ There is a bug right now https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1019

Expanding images on the front page also tends to be slow.

There are definitely issues and I don't want to deny that, but just wanted to mention on this point specifically expanding images isn't cached like thumbnails are, so them loading should be completely dependent on the instance they were posted to responding. Taking a random example on the front page right now the thumbnail is kbin but clicking expand on it, the image that attempts to load is lemmy.world

Huh that's a weird bug!

I have noticed for the past week or so it can sometimes take a long time for a page to load. I don't get an error code but it can sometimes take about 10-15 seconds.
