I constantly get a timeout message and I don't know what it means. Is it a known bug or something I can maybe even fix myself? I'm using the Jerboa app btw.

I’ve been getting it a fair bit while using the app too, but I haven’t noticed any changes to my user experience after receiving the messages. So it could just be a minor bug for now, I guess.

I sometimes get kicked out of the post that I'm reading. Hopefully it gets fixed soon

Is the instance you're on getting overloaded?

This is not an app problem but a server problem.

Here there are different servers that any individual can run, currently what's happening is the lemmy.ml is being flooded with users causing it to have issues such as timeout.

Very inconvenient definitely but the only option you have is to switch to some other server, create an account, and use it. Or wait for lemmy.ml to scale up their servers.

I'm currently using lemmy.world which seems to be fine at the moment.

Using Lemmy.World and I have the time out thing happening as well is not terrible but it has being a thing that happens from time to time. I am guessing is just one of those things that in time will be iron out, hiccups are expect. Hoping it doesn't get worse

I'm using lemmy.world too and the timeout sometimes kicks me out of the post I'm reading. It seems that only I have that problem.

Similar thing happened to signal when whatsapp made some unpopular changes.

Lots of people looking for alternatives in sites that arent used to the traffic. I am part of that problem
