Not sure what's going on, but for at least today and yesterday, I've seen a fairly high rate of server errors when attempting to load a number of different sorts of pages. I've seen this happen with attempting to view a post (including on communities that are not locally hosted), and attempting to view user pages.
As far as I can tell, if one keeps reloading, one eventually gets through, if you're hitting this. No idea as to cause
all I see is:
Error!
There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.
Sorry I can't provide any additional information, but I can't think of much other information.
An example page:
https://lemmy.today/post/55800972
This successfully showed up on, I believe, my sixth reload. The seventh reload was an error again (so it's not a "it works once and then keeps working" problem for a given page). I've seen it on various networks on my end, so I'm pretty sure that I'm not a factor.
https://lestat.org/ doesn't show errors, so whatever it is, it's not tripping their error detector.
