Hey peeps, I have upgraded to lemmy 0.19.1 which should fix any federations issues and the read-posts bug.
As I said, I have also replaced the abandoned tesseract frontent, with a self-hosted voyager frontend. You can find it at https://v.lemmy.dbzer0.com. This should allow you to keep your credentials extra safe, even when using a mobile device. You can add it as an mobile "app" via your browser.
Unfortunately almost at the same time I started this upgrade, we started experiencing some network issues which I've been troubleshooting for the past few hours and I can't figure out. So at this point I'm thinking this is caused by this ongoing OVH maintenance as my server do not appear under load, and the request timeouts appear random.
I'll keep investigating and let you know if the status changes for the better.
Update: I'm fairly certain the timeouts are due to OVH networking at this point, so I'm doing a workaround. Things should improve within 4 hours.
Update2: Issue should be resolved currently.
Some further testing adds furhter credence to the idea that these delays are coming from the OVH network maintenance. I am seeing 0 errors on my end. The requests are just timing out before reaching my systems. I'm going to wait and see if it gets better on its own.
Let me know if you experience any issues and we can look into workarounds.
