For a few days now I’ve been unable to upvote or comment for a few hours at a time. Any thing I try to do just gets a little popup that says “error.” I tried logging out but then I couldn’t log back in. I turned off my VPN, I wiped my cache and cookies with no love. It is working again for now but I’m guessing it’ll be the same tomorrow.
Yes, it’s been happening a lot lately. You may get to a point where you can’t log on, that’s happened, too.
If anyone can spare it, maybe some donations can help.
I will look into this. Meanwhile if possible try to check the javascript console in the devtools for any error messages when that happens. Knowing the error message will help. I have been experiencing issues as well but this particular problem I am hearing for the first time. And sorry about this.
You don’t have to apologize for anything we are all grateful for the work you do.
I don’t know what you need but this is what deepseek told me you would want.

but of course I can’t post this until the problem fixes itself again which will probably be several hours from now.
I has been happening a lot to me recently. Mostly when it’s close to 01:00 (UTC).
For a few days, I haven’t even been able to log in. The site hasn’t worked for me until just this moment.
Oof
Do you know roughly when you access lemmygrad? I have a hypothesis that it depends on the time, since I always struggle to access this site at 01:00 AM (UTC time). No need to answer if you don’t want to self-doxx.
I use this site exclusively though jerboa so I take a look whenever I feel like spending a few minutes on my phone. I was having trouble all day yesterday and as late as around UTC 5:00ish
That happened to me yesterday.
the site has always been real unstable for me, though it’s been far more frequent recently
i think whatever server it’s hosted on isn’t great
yep same… was locked out most of yesterday
This is entirely my fault, and also me not having too much time to migrate to a different VPS host.
Ours has been getting progressively worse over time, and the only real solution would be to change VPS hosts. I save daily DB backups, so we could migrate at any time, but it takes a lot of effort.
