Issues responding to comments from particular users (hexbear.net)

hey comrades,

I've been having this issue that I thought must have been related to me using Voyager, but I just experienced the same thing through desktop firefox.

When I respond to some users the page load times out and says I can't reply, but it has posted my reply (often without upvoting my own comment)

Obviously not thrilled to be tagging people but one user I have noticed it with replying @Angel@hexbear.net, both threads and comments.

Which is extra annoying cause I've been really enjoying nerding out together.

I think it has happened with other users too. (Really regretting not saving the thread that was extra broken I saw earlier in the week.)

Yeah known issue on our end (not sure if upstream knows about it). The PostComment method does a bunch of extra stuff after actually creating the comment, like sending notifications, clearing your own notifications, etc. I imagine one of those is doing a db query that just takes forever and times out at some point

@Angel@hexbear.net do you have anything out of the ordinary on your account? Do you have maybe 100,000 unread notifications or something

edit: wow, even tagging you causes the issue

edit 2: Do you happen to have the 'Send notifications to Email' setting enabled in your profile?

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Not anymore!

test

edit: hmm no doesn't seem to be it

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

Lol I'm sorry I did this, I hope youre okay with the attention!

Guess I'll start clearing my notifications too.. oh no, checking replies 😰

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's not just you. I've been having that issue sporadically for the past few days.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If this works then none of these have failed, thanks for replying

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Got it.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've been having this issue with TankieTanuki for a while, and I noticed it with Angel earlier today.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

I've only really noticed with Angel but for sure there were some others

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I haven't been able to reply properly to @Angel@hexbear.net for probably 4-6 months. I can reply, but then it times out. Same if I try to upbear, it times out. It usually goes through though if I just refresh the page but it's pretty annoying. It happens with others too but mostly Angel.

what-the-hell

[–] roux@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You are too powerful lol.

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (3 children)

No one tran should have all THAT POWER

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If someone's gotta have it though I think you're a top choice

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

🥺

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Okay you can be a bottom choice if you want

[–] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

I am cursious if something is going on in the db for your user profile or something because even just now this happened when I commented:

[–] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Nope, sorry, it's official. You are now the chosen one.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

Hexbear is trying to stop us communicating with Angels 🥺 suddenly material analysis requires us to live in reality? I want out!

glad its not just me!

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Okay extra weird it timed out just tagging them so that's fun thanks Hexbear very cool

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Damn, I never noticed the pattern of it being specific users. I'll start keeping notes from now on to see if that's my issue, too.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Yeah this is a known issue, or at least I've seen it referenced by a dev/admin as such I think

dunno why it would only affect certain users

[–] Grebgreb@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

I have frequently encountered this with posting notifications with links to other users for a while now. Editing in the the user link after posting without it has been a work around for me.

[–] Luna@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I noticed this when replying to Angel as well, I just assumed it was random.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

I only noticed cause we were nerding out over music the other day lol

[–] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

When I post a comment lately the post button will spin for a while but if I refresh the page it will still post if I wait long enough. I did try to make a comment early to someone on Jerboa and got a "deleted by creator" error. After trying several times I gave up. Something is bogging down the way comments are processed for sure.

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Same. It will post but with zero upbears

[–] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I just realized you are probably where I've heard of Foucault from. My friend was just recommending Discipline and Punishment to me last week.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

That is strange. I'm not sure that I've experienced this myself, but maybe I have.

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What is Voyager, is it a browser?

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

Does it support Hexbear emojis? That's the only reason I can't use any client other than web
