Bug fixes 19-06-2023 (lemmit.online)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by admin@lemmit.online to c/about@lemmit.online

Fixed a couple of bugs today:

  • Nasty one that made the bot get stuck in an infinite when trying to add a post by a deleted user, which kept the bit offline for most of last night.
  • Another creative one that, when posting certain links, would actually work, but the lemmy gateway would respond with a timeout. It only happens on certain links, but consistently. Which would make the bot think it was unsuccessful, which would make it try to post again the next time. Causing a duplicate post each time (technically it was a cross post to itself... Which is interesting in a whole new way).

TLDR: right now there is a workaround in place that assumes a timeout post to lemmit was actually successful. This might cause it to drop posts in the future, but seeing that the server is barely breaking a sweat at this time, it should be good until a better fix is implemented.

Also got some great feedback from users, which I added to the TODO.
