There is currently something going on over at Lemmy.world causing authentication issues. This isn’t a memmy specific issue but is also plaguing the PWA. https://lemmy.world/post/1364490

Until this is fixed, the best bet it to just keep “retrying”. This would explain some of the issues I thought were linked to issues inside the app but might be something else.

I have an update ready that will fix a bunch of these internal issues with the app, but unfortunately it’s going to break Lemmy.world terribly for anyone using it, so I’m going to hold off on releasing that until they figure out what is going on.

    That’s bound to happen though. Definitely not just a server problem. Lemmy.world is basically stress testing the Lemmy code. Having to scale from hundred of users to hundred thousands during the course of a month is obviously going to mean issues.

    Some due to world, some due to bugs in Lemmy and some due to efficient ways to run an instance is still being found out. Sooner or later it had to happen.

      Yeah, I’m okay with putting up with some instability for now because I’m just cool like that. But most people are skeptical of the fediverse to begin with. If they do give it a chance, and stuff isn’t functioning well, they’re likely to just bounce off it entirely.
