KNOWN SERIOUS BUGS
- Searching site-wide for “0.18” generates an error. This was working fine in 0.17.4 before Lemmy.ml upgraded: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=0.18&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll
It’s just so odd that only lemmy.ml communities seem to cause this. Lemmy.world is around as big or bigger and no issue there.
I think lemmy.ml has more posts, comments, likes in the database due to historic reasons - and the backend is timing out, PostgreSQL not keeping up to application timeout. I have seen the problem on Beehaw, Lemmy.world when they are busy and throwing nginx 500 errors on their front page.
I’ve also been seeing issues with subbing to lemmy.world communities from lemmy.ml, so I am not sure if it’s limited to just lemmy.ml communities.
