Lemmy instance servers are all struggling to handle the massive influx of traffic and new users
Unfortunately, this is resulting in long load times, lagging in user actions, and failed data interactions. As a result, you may experience login issues. some comments may get lost, some votes may not get registered, and you may see inconsistent/inaccurate comment/vote counts among some other strange issues.
This is a Lemmy issue, not one with Mlem. Hopefully, as server capacity is increased across instances, these extraneous errors will subside. Until then, just know that they’re not unusual during times of high traffic and server stress. You can hop on over to our Matrix Space to chat with the fast-growing Mlem community, or you can check out our project on GiHub! (links below)

Is this also what causes posts to repeat in the feed and to have older posts appear before newer ones?
yes, probably. Several servers are going up and down right now, too. it’s… difficult to know what to expect regarding behavior, even on the website!
