At least the "reply" button goes away so I don't end up double- triple- or even duodecuple-posting! Thanks for all the hard work that must be going on behind the scenes right now!
I kept getting a timeout message from Jerboa which led me to think I hadn't been posted. So I ended up submitting the same joke to the Dad Jokes sub three times. Which actually is how dad might tell that joke.
I get this occasionally with Jeroba too, I had assumed it was because I'm on Mint and the connection is shoddy but maybe it's an issue with the client.
I came here looking for information on this exact thing and judging by a couple of posts I found through Google on other Lemmy instances, it seems to be a Lemmy.world specific problem with Jerboa. So probably connected to the community slowness?
