With the sluggishness of the site these last few days you can sometimes get slowness or infinitely loading icon when hitting submit. If you aren’t sure if your post submitted, refresh the original page in a different tab before hitting submit again to see if it went through. I see double and triple posts in almost every comment section.

Yes! The Lemmy devs should make it so that you can’t hit the submit button 10 times in a row. People hit submit and nothing happens so they hit it again and again and again. Now there’s a bunch of identical posts.
I remember the old days where sites would have a message saying “only hit submit once”. That’s gone now since sites prevent users from hitting submit more than once. I don’t think Lemmy is doing that though!
It’s problematic because often you’ll get an error that says it failed to post the comment. In which case it’s fair to try again, but it actually posted anyways.
Just get off .World and onto another instance and it’s smooth sailing with mobile apps working great too.
programming.dev is getting to be pretty damn slow too…
Comments post in 5-30 seconds, and up votes can take 30+ seconds to post. Searches are pointless, and loading comments can be a repetitive painful process of reloading till it works (504 gateway timeout)
