:bc: Attention Beige Party-goers! :bc: I'm still getting reports of media loading slowly. It seems to happen more around the evenings (in the US) and on weekends, which is when traffic is tends to be higher. The weird thing is that I have not been able to catch the problem in the wild. When I check a sample of images both local and remote, everything seems to be loading fine. What's been reported is images loading fine on the TL but when clicking to enlarge, the images load at dial-up speeds—20 seconds+. Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks, and Beige-bless :bb:

    @theropologist I get this too sometimes, but I haven't been paying too much attention to the circumstances.

    @theropologist I haven't had any issues with the images loading. I'm using FediLab on Android most of the time. Good luck with finding the reason, and hopefully, a solution. :bb:

    @theropologist I’ve been having issues with the internet generally (random slowness on lots of unrelated sites that aren’t all aws based) on multiple devices so I haven’t noticed anything particularly beige.

    @theropologist I've had this before but not at the moment, Samsung S22, have seen it on Moshidon and in Phanpy running in Firefox Android, does seem to mostly happen in high volume times for sure

    @theropologist Central Alberta, Canada here: Not sure of the dates, but there was a really slow evening a couple weeks ago. Better the next day. A day or two after that I think you'd announced you were going to do some maintenance to sort something out, and then it was fine for a while. Occasionally media-loading still chugs...especially with older posts? Thank you for all that you do! 🙏

    @theropologist I’ve been getting these slow load times sporadically, like in intervals as short as say 10 minutes. I wasn’t sure if it was Beige, fedi at large, the app I’m using (Ice Cubes) or some localized throttling. Gifs and videos seem to have a harder time than still images.

    @theropologist Eastern Ontario Canada Also evenings. I also check my other account on another instance and no issues there, so not an internet issue for me. It good right now but the last 2 weeks have been hit or miss.

    @theropologist yes, same sort of thing intermittently. Seems very random when it occurs to me.

  • @theropologist I get random 504's. Just..weird. Everything else is fine. #BeigeBless

    @theropologist I see it periodically. I’m primarily using Ivory on a relatively new iPad with lots of memory. I see it on TL thumbnails as well as the zoom. Oddly, I click on the thumbnail and, just before it drills into the toot, the thumbnail flashes in. Same going back, if the zoom hasn’t loaded. One more anecdote. A few times I’ve seen it, the source was a Pixelfed account. May be coincidence but I saw it enough that it’s worth considering.

    @theropologist I can't really place time of day, but it will do that randomly for a handful of scroll downs.

    @theropologist Occasionally get something like that at random times, but it's infrequent enough that it may well be at my end instead.

    @theropologist It always showed the images by 30~60% after my fediverse session, normally an hour or two. Sometime it means I have to wait my favours in the session. Not sure it helps.
