When I am trying to post a comment, often times I will get this JSON error “unexpected token <”. I wonder if the call is erroring out on the server side and you’re getting an HTML error page back?

Odd thing is that 9 times out of 10, when this happens, the comment will still post. Until i discovered this, I was repeatedly hitting “submit” (since after the error you get sent right back to the comment edit dialog) and repeatedly posting! Now I can identify Memmy users by their repeat comments 😅

Is this a known issue?

I’m on lemmy.world and so it might happen more frequently for me as their servers have been going through some stuff lately…

    I have the same issue. Sometimes comment was posted, sometimes not.

    I actually had that error when submitting this comment. Keep submitting will eventually work

    Edit: maybe network/instance issue??
