Boost has been giving me a generic "timeout" error after about 10 posts and stops loading posts in /all or /local.

Has anyone else been experiencing this and does does anyone have any tips to fix this?

Edit Oct 17 update This is still an issue.

Oct 26 This is still an issue.

Nov 25 This is still an issue.

December 9 Still an issue. It worked briefly.

Could you give some steps to reproduce? Instance, feed and sort, and most important, the timeout error message. Thanks

Is there anyway to see a more descriptive error log? This is what pops up on the bottom of the feed.

The timeout message appears as soon as it tries to load any posts passed the initial refresh on both all and local instances. I've tried sorting by hot, new, most comments, and the various top sorting methods. The error does not appear if I sort by old.

Edit I would like to add that this error does not appear for individual communities. They have infinite scroll and the sorting methods work as intended.

This error is tied to the main all and local feed.

Sorry if it was already answered, but does it happen when browsing as guest too?

It was affecting me as guest, but when I closed the app and re opened it still as guest, the issue went away.

I swapped back to my account and the issue came back.

I can live with guest for now.

Do you mark many posts as read and have the "Show read posts" disabled? Are you blocking any instances?

I even registered an account on lemmy.zip and I wasn't able to reproduce it :(

I would like to mention that I tried thunder, sync, and jerboa. Thunder and sync work as intended. I tried jerboa today and it has the same timeout error as I'm experiencing on boost.

I'm not sure what that means since it works on some apps but not all.
