Hey so i know this is a weird question but… does anyone has the same issue of “vanishing comments”? every few times i write a comment, it sends the comment… and boom its gone like it never existed. it doesn’t gives me any error message, its just gone forever.

its really frustrating if you write a long reply to someone as an example and suddenly its gone… destroys the whole Fediverse atmosphere for me a lot. if i have to copypaste each time comments before sending to make sure they don’t vanish forever & i can send them again… it sucks a bit.

anyone experiencing the same?

    it’s not an app i using, i just did send a few minutes ago with firefox a longer comment and boom, gone.

    webconsole shows nothing like errors or similiar that would hint at something going wrong. thats the weird part about this.

      It’s possible that the console is clearing the visible logs when the page gets refreshed after you hit submit. If that is not the case, see if you can trap the HTTP response code after your browser sends the POST. There are a million and one ways this issue could be happening.

      If it gets really bad, use a HTTP(s) man in the middle tool like Fiddler or even OWASP Zap to capture the full exchange. That may give you some more hints.
