    Getting an error page sometimes when visiting a popular Lemmy instance is normal unfortunately. The popular instances get a lot of traffic, and that is probably what causes this. I have had this happen with Lemmy.world a few times so far.

    Even on Reddit this wasn’t that rare. They just have a system in between that hands you a nice error page with a sad looking Snoo and an error message.

      Yeah, it’s less common in the era of modern cloud computing and 99% uptime, but in the era of the fail whale wasn’t that long ago. The fediverse is a whole new tech paradigm run mostly by hobbyists. It’s going to have to grapple with those same problems as it grows

            Lol, yes it was. It failed to submit a few times and I finally left thinking it hasn’t posted at all. Guess it got queued with giving the frontend feedback.
