Workaround for the performance issue with posting in large communities (self.lemmyworld)

We're still working to find a solution for the posting slowness in large communities.

We have seen that a post does get submitted right away, but yet the page keeps 'spinning'

So right after you clicked 'Post' or 'Reply' you can refresh the page and the post should be there.

(But maybe to be sure you could copy the contents of your post first, so you can paste again if anything would go wrong..)

In my case, the page keeps spinning but the post is not submitted, regardless of reloading the page or waiting for a long time. There was one case where I cut down significantly on the amount of characters in the post and then it posted, but I have been unable to replicate this.

I have the same issue with image posts. If I submit them through the app the posts counter on my profile goes up, but there's no post. I also can't retrieve any posts for my own account. It says I have 3 but it shows none.

Comments work OK so I'm not sure what the problem is. I was worried I got restricted or something.

Edit: Comments seem to work as the OP suggests though. I get the spinner but they've been posted already.

Edit2: It seems like I can't post link threads either.

~~Edit3: Even worse, it seems like I can't see my own posts but others can. So I might have spammed Warhammer40k and tabletopminis and I can't even clean up my own mess.~~

~~Edit4: If I sign out and go to these communities I can see my own posts. I can also go directly to them if I have the link. I can also keep track of them by clicking the star button but it seems like my feed is broken.~~

Edit5: Oh my god I'm so fucking stupid. If you hide posts you've seen it'll also hide your own posts...

Yeah, comments seem to be working for me in that way too.
