YSK: Hitting submit more than once will post your comment/thread multiple times, even with the lag - eviltoast

With the sluggishness of the site these last few days you can sometimes get slowness or infinitely loading icon when hitting submit. If you aren’t sure if your post submitted, refresh the original page in a different tab before hitting submit again to see if it went through. I see double and triple posts in almost every comment section.

    Just get off .World and onto another instance and it’s smooth sailing with mobile apps working great too.

      programming.dev is getting to be pretty damn slow too…

      Comments post in 5-30 seconds, and up votes can take 30+ seconds to post. Searches are pointless, and loading comments can be a repetitive painful process of reloading till it works (504 gateway timeout)
