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.
Sorry I missed this post. I will try to replicate the issue.
Let me know if I can help at all. I really appreciate you reaching out!
I experience the same issue as guest. I have tried uninstalling, deleting cache, clearing data, logging out/in. I do not experience the issue with similar apps. S25 ultra.
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.
This exact issue is happening to me. On every category, even Local. The first page loads instantly, the second and other pages timeout.
I am on lemmy.world with Boost. I have lots of muted communities and some things blocked but not much.
It has been happening for weeks on my side, it never worked since I have this issue (so it is not intermittent) and even as a Guest (lemmy.world) the problem occurs.
Feel free to ask questions. I would be glad to help 😇
I’ve been there but I think it’s instance related. If your instance can’t connect you to either itself or other instances you’ll get a 503 error.
A fix, sadly, it’s too wait until the admin of your instance fixes their connection problem. Usually it’s unscheduled maintenance.
I’m not convinced. This started happening the moment the last update for boost released. It does it both locally and with other instances. It loads any instance/community fine.
I’m just sharing my experience. If it’s an issue with the app itself, I think Ruben will keep an eye on it all and maybe you can contact him with some more details so he can debug properly.
This happens to me only on the Subscribed / Home tab. Everything else does infinite scroll.
It’s been happening for maybe 3+ months. I’ve stopped using Lemmy because of it. I keep hoping it gets fixed.
Came to this channel looking for other people having this issue, as I’m also experiencing the same symptoms. Individual channels load correctly as described in the post, but I only get the initial load of posts in subscribed when I open the app, and trying to switch to all results in a timeout.
Edit: clearing the cache did not resolve the issue, nor did logging out and logging back in.
I’m still experiencing this and apparently you’re the only other one willing to post about it. It would be nice if boost was more active in development.
I’m having the same issue
One month later and the issue still persists.
Came back here to share that, for me, as of today, I’m no longer experiencing this issue. I’m able to scroll down my feed and have it load new posts, and I can once again access the ‘all’ feed. Unsure if the app updated automatically. I’ve done absolutely nothing to resolve the issue and made no changes to my account. No Android updates between my last post and now. Maybe it was a backend issue with the instance I’m on (feddit.nl)?
At any rate, wanted to share. Hopefully yours clears up similarly.
I’m glad it’s working for you. I just checked and it’s still broke.
