teddit.manasiwibi.com has issues #88

Closed testman42 closed 1 year ago

testman42 commented 1 year ago

It returns various kinds of errors instead of displaying subreddits or posts.

Please remove.

Aditionally, consider implementing a system for community to suggest instance additions and removals.

At least I think that instance suggestions should be separate from other technical issues.

Or maybe just an "instance suggestion" issue abel for start.

Apologies for the delay. Farside's Teddit instances are automatically pulled from the list of public instances that Teddit supplies from here: https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/raw/branch/main/instances.json. I'd rather not get in the habit of manually singling out specific instances that don't work, but will consider it if this continues to be a problem. In this case, it'd be preferable if the instance with the error also just returned an error status code, since Farside will ignore instances that don't return a success code.

Alternatively Farside could be updated to look for more than just a success status code from the instance. It could use a per-service check to make sure that the data on the page matches an expected format or something, but that'd obviously make the scheduled updates slower.

In the meantime I've added a label for future issues related to this sort of thing.

The instance in question seems to have been removed as of https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/commit/a02025a86fa80dafe9b9adfda5f52460618ab925, so I'm going to close this issue.
