Launch Day Issues!

Well it wouldn't be a software launch if it didn't have problems. Here are some of the things we know about and are working on:

  • I think we're clear of those!

The ones that are mostly user error:

  • I only see one post - Make sure you're viewing the Local instance, not just your Subscriptions
  • Invalid Passwords when Creating Accounts - Your password must contain a special character and be a reasonable length -- make sure you're not doing "hunter2" or something

Here are the ones I think I've resolved:

  • Occasional rate limiting - This should be fixed by switching out the broken "Familiar" UI with a different one
  • Image uploading failures - Sporadic failures stopped once I bumped the rate limit for image uploads. If it comes back, I'll try a solve at nginx

And issues with workarounds:

  • Email validation links not working - This one is because the frontend can sometimes verify your email twice. The first one succeeds, then the second one fails because you've already verified. If you get this one, you're good, just log in.

I need to post-mortem the email validation link thing, but it doesn't prevent users from joining, so that might wait til morn.
