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?

    Came to this channel looking for other people having this issue, as I’m also experiencing the same symptoms. Individual channels load correctly as described in the post, but I only get the initial load of posts in subscribed when I open the app, and trying to switch to all results in a timeout.

    Edit: clearing the cache did not resolve the issue, nor did logging out and logging back in.

      I’m still experiencing this and apparently you’re the only other one willing to post about it. It would be nice if boost was more active in development.

        I think it’s just the one person, right? Understandable. But more to the point, maybe it’s a rarely occurring issue?

        For reference and for anyone potentially finding this in the future, I’m running boost on a galaxy note 20 ultra, android 13. If more useful technical info, or if the app creates logs of some sort, I’d be happy to share those as well.

    I’ve been there but I think it’s instance related. If your instance can’t connect you to either itself or other instances you’ll get a 503 error.

    A fix, sadly, it’s too wait until the admin of your instance fixes their connection problem. Usually it’s unscheduled maintenance.

      I’m not convinced. This started happening the moment the last update for boost released. It does it both locally and with other instances. It loads any instance/community fine.

        I’m just sharing my experience. If it’s an issue with the app itself, I think Ruben will keep an eye on it all and maybe you can contact him with some more details so he can debug properly.

          I appreciate the info. I’m going to try another app and see if the same issue persists.

          Edit: I tried sync and I do not experience this issue.
