Hello, I am new to Lemmy. I started a community, and a couple users have posted comments. I have tried to reply to those comments, but when I click to reply, the little circle just spins endlessly. Am I doing something wrong or is something bugged?

    I should add that I have been able to respond to comments on another community hosted on a different server, if that makes any difference?

      So, a further observation, the people that I can’t reply to have the @kbin at the end of their user id. Is that the issue?

        Hey! First of all, I don’t believe responding to @kbin users is an issue - it was most likely a coincidence.

        Regarding the problem itself - there seem to be some spikes in traffic every day during which the server gets briefly overloaded. I would recommend just refreshing the page and reposting the comment if you see the spinner for more than 10 seconds - it’s unlikely that posting a comment should take any longer than that even in extreme cases! (Under normal conditions, it should take actually take less than 1 second)
