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.
