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.
Memmy doesn’t do well with it either.
Of course it doesn’t bode well for the instance itself that it’s throwing so many…but it’s unclear if that’s an operator problem or a code base problem.
It could also just be a server load issue.
Lemmy.world, the community the instance is hosted on, has been having a few issues between the 0.18.1 update, and the amount of users on the platform.
Mostly the user count at this point, although things have become more stable the last few hours
Yeah, I’ve only experienced this issue when dealing with Lemmy.world. Building my own client, and I get the same issue all the time.
Is there a good Lenny app because so far wefwef hasn’t been great for me.
Liftoff is the best I've found so far. Waiting for Sync to come though
Same. RIP sync, long live sync!
Hopefully it doesn't take long. These other apps aren't bad but they aren't great either.
Jerboa or just in the browser. Honestly though most people's issues are likely to be because they joined a huge instance which is falling over due to load. Consider making a new account on a smaller instance.
Thunder but features aren't all there
I am using Memmy at the moment and it’s well decent

Wefwef has been the best for me so far. I'm a previous Boost for Reddit user, so I'm still waiting for their official Lemmy release and then I'll switch.
Can you explain why? Are you using wefwef on Android?
I’m using it on iOS and don’t get me wrong the app looks beautiful. I’m finding issues with communities not loading posts, comments or general sync issues. I have an issue where trying to reply to a comment would overlay the comments over the textfield.
Lemmy's Rust code uses an ORM called Diesel that masks the SQL statements and you really have to watch the PostgreSQL server independently to verify that the SQL isn't doing wild things like loading thousands of records when you only needed 3. Just today people are finally sharing some information out of the big servers (lemmy.world) as to what PostgreSQL side says is actually happening. Hopefully the biggest mistakes are going to get cleaned up quickly.
That sounds like a server issue. Try a smaller server
Can I change servers without changing my account?
At this time, no. This is a limitation on lemmy's side though
That might be a server issue. Lemmy.world is still having performance issues and just like the picture in this post we are all seeing many errors often.
I appreciate the explanation.
I am quite liking liftoff. It has a slightly different layout to wefwef and you can customize it a bit if you don't like the default colours.
@Binderfullofpizza In my opinion, Memmy is the best native app at the moment (for iOS).
Thanks I’ll give that a shot.
