On edit: I just realized that I made a reddit hivemind joke in the vein of "I too something something OP's wife." I will work on breaking that habit. Baby steps!
I am surprised that neither of my dogs give a fuck about fireworks. They don’t even tilt their ears towards 'em (and no, they aren’t deaf). They will, however, absolutely lose their shit over sirens.
Yeah, my dog never used to care, then one year my ex-con redneck neighbor fired illegal mortars over the our, in a red flag fire zone, for house for 12 hours straight.
When I asked him to chill out, he threatened to kill me and said I hated freedom. Then then got in a physical fight with cops that night. Best neighbor ever.
I would say Lemmy issue. This is probably a default 502 internal sever error response (which I’ve been getting repeatedly from lemmy.world). Jerboa (I don’t use it btw) is only trying to parse the expected json response. Yes the app could handle the error more gracefully but if Lemmy didn’t respond with an error jerboa wouldn’t need to.
personally I’d say it’s a Jerboa thing. the app should retry loading because sometimes I refresh after this happening and it immediately loads the proper content.
with all the different instances this sort of thing has to be kept in mind
Just retry is usually a bad ideia, specially that this problem is probably an overload, just adding retries can makes the problem.even worse with the app ddosing the server
Lemmy realy should not randomly emit errors for no reason, there should be no need for retries in this case. If the specification specifies a JSON response, and the server randomly provides HTML, that is a bug in the server.
When you get a 502 error, that's not coming from lemmy, it's coming from nginx. If you're saying that nginx should send any error data along with the status in json if the accept headers require it, that's a task for nginx but it wouldn't happen in this case anyway since the json wouldn't be what they were expecting anyway. The app should be handling non success responses better is the point being made here.

The error is not being emitted by Lemmy though. The 502 error message is returned to the client by nginx when the Lemmy server doesn’t respond within the a certain time.
🤔 The server spits out html when it cannot reach the backend. So one could argue it’s a configuration issue because the admin didn’t provide enough capacity / didn’t set up a proper generic json error for backend failures.
FWIW, Liftoff doesn’t handle these super gracefully either.
At any rate I think it’s kinda awesome that we get to witness these kinds of infancy problems.
No, this is a lemmy issue. The API specification specifies a JSON response, and the server randomly provides HTML, this is a bug in the server. I agree that Jebora should retry in the case of a network failure (timeout, 4xx staus codes…) but it should not have to retry in a case of a server that is not folowing the standard.
lemmy does not return 502 error codes because 502 means “bad gateway” and lemmy is not acting as a gateway, nginx is. An nginx sends the html. All apps should check the status code for codes like this one that don’t come from apps.
If it’s Jerboa/Android app issue, why do I get JSON errors using Lemmy on my desktop PC with Firefox? Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I have very little programming knowledge.
I’ve been working with such a poorly documented application that five minutes of debugging can save me hours of reading documentation. Thanks Microsoft.
Of course it doesn’t bode well for the instance itself that it’s throwing so many…but it’s unclear if that’s an operator problem or a code base problem.
Jerboa or just in the browser. Honestly though most people’s issues are likely to be because they joined a huge instance which is falling over due to load. Consider making a new account on a smaller instance.
I’m using it on iOS and don’t get me wrong the app looks beautiful. I’m finding issues with communities not loading posts, comments or general sync issues. I have an issue where trying to reply to a comment would overlay the comments over the textfield.
That might be a server issue. Lemmy.world is still having performance issues and just like the picture in this post we are all seeing many errors often.

Lemmy’s Rust code uses an ORM called Diesel that masks the SQL statements and you really have to watch the PostgreSQL server independently to verify that the SQL isn’t doing wild things like loading thousands of records when you only needed 3. Just today people are finally sharing some information out of the big servers (lemmy.world) as to what PostgreSQL side says is actually happening. Hopefully the biggest mistakes are going to get cleaned up quickly.
Wefwef has been the best for me so far. I’m a previous Boost for Reddit user, so I’m still waiting for their official Lemmy release and then I’ll switch.
Afaik this is not an error from Lemmy but from nginx, which is not able to relay the request to Lemmy and therefore returns a 502 bad gateway response. Imo this just means the servers are over capacity, so most likely a scaling/infrastructure issue.
I had a quick read of the code and it looks pretty solid to me. Not the most “enterprise” code imaginable, but definitely no code smell or quick hacking job.
