    I think it’s both, actually. Lemmy is often giving html where json is expected, and Jerboa isn’t handling the error well.

      🤔 The server spits out html when it cannot reach the backend. So one could argue it’s a configuration issue because the admin didn’t provide enough capacity / didn’t set up a proper generic json error for backend failures.

      FWIW, Liftoff doesn’t handle these super gracefully either.

      At any rate I think it’s kinda awesome that we get to witness these kinds of infancy problems.

      Well, what should Jerboa do? Pretend it received content?

        Take it as an error, tell the user about it and then retry with exponential back-off.
