Boost has been giving me a generic "timeout" error after about 10 posts and stops loading posts in /all or /local.

Has anyone else been experiencing this and does does anyone have any tips to fix this?

Could you give some steps to reproduce? Instance, feed and sort, and most important, the timeout error message. Thanks

    Is there anyway to see a more descriptive error log? This is what pops up on the bottom of the feed.

    The timeout message appears as soon as it tries to load any posts passed the initial refresh on both all and local instances. I've tried sorting by hot, new, most comments, and the various top sorting methods. The error does not appear if I sort by old.

    Edit I would like to add that this error does not appear for individual communities. They have infinite scroll and the sorting methods work as intended.

    This error is tied to the main all and local feed.

    Sorry if it was already answered, but does it happen when browsing as guest too?

    It was affecting me as guest, but when I closed the app and re opened it still as guest, the issue went away.

    I swapped back to my account and the issue came back.

    I can live with guest for now.

    Do you mark many posts as read and have the "Show read posts" disabled? Are you blocking any instances?

    I even registered an account on lemmy.zip and I wasn't able to reproduce it :(

    I would like to mention that I tried thunder, sync, and jerboa. Thunder and sync work as intended. I tried jerboa today and it has the same timeout error as I'm experiencing on boost.

    I'm not sure what that means since it works on some apps but not all.

    I do not have show read posts disabled but I do block the NSFL communities as i don't want to see gore on my feed. I seen one other person on here with a Samsung that claims they have the same problem. I'm not sure what the others use.

    I think it's related to the sorting algorithm (all, new, etc). Do you have any custom ones or settings for it? I'm not familiar with how those are coded, but I remember them having a major issue about two years ago.

    I understand this issue affects a small group of people and I don't want you to waste development time. I do appreciate the work you're putting into this.
