I’m thinking it’s issues on Lemmy.world’s end. I have an account there and was seeing that so switched to an account I have on another instance and everything appears to be working without issue. They’ve been having to cope with a huge influx of new users so I’m sure it’s related to issues caused by that.

Me too. What gives?

If your instance is lemmy.ml the most probably is due to a overload on the server

I don’t have real answers, but my theory is the servers busy, sometimes things mess up and you have to try again.
