You know at least it printed an error. I hate when things silently swallow errors.
I’m looking at you, Python programmers:
try: <100 lines of nonsense> except: pass
I’ve seen this more times than my own family
Afaik this is not an error from Lemmy but from nginx, which is not able to relay the request to Lemmy and therefore returns a 502 bad gateway response. Imo this just means the servers are over capacity, so most likely a scaling/infrastructure issue.
I had a quick read of the code and it looks pretty solid to me. Not the most “enterprise” code imaginable, but definitely no code smell or quick hacking job.
I read a couple PRs and it seems like the are rejecting the more hacky stuff.
Value <html> of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject
Lemmy is written in rust, that’s a java error so the issue lies with the app you’re using not Lemmy itself (maybe)
The cause is a 502 from lemmy.
Jerboa’s handling of that error is also terrible but that’s another issue.
imo wefwef is the best lemmy client app for iOS/android
I’ve seen this on both Jerboa and Connect. And even just now
