I keep noticing three very strange happenings here:
- Upvotes going wild for a bit before settling on the wrong values.
- Posts sometimes refreshing showing the contents of an entirely different post.
- Whatever this is where I’m viewing https://lemmy.world/post/163272, but it’s showing me a removed pornographic post with the comments from https://lemmy.world/post/163272
It’s caused by Lemmy-UI’s websockets client. It does weird stuff like this when the site is under heavy load (we broke Lemmy!)
It’s being removed in Lemmy 0.18 and being replaced with a more stable http client. No word on when that will release, but it looks like progress is being made fast.

I’m looking forward to it so much, aside from fixing a ton of bugs it should make Lemmy MUCH more stable and lighter in the server-side because they don’t keep sending data constantly.
Yeah if you open the developer console, you can see the messages it’s sending (they log it to the console). Every vote, regardless of whether or not you have that post open or not, is sent to the client.
