Why does posting a new post or a comment take over a minute?

It's been this way for days

Give it about 10 seconds and refresh the page. Your post will appear. It is a current bug.

Yeah. Copy and paste the message you wrote and just refresh the page. It very likely submitted. Unfortunately if you hit submit again it will add duplicates.

Wasn't sure if I could refresh without losing the comment/post...

Depends on what instance you are on

For me, posting most places is instant.

Lemmy.world going a tad slow though

It seems that specifying the language instead of undefined speeds up the process. At least I've had a case where initially it was spinning for many minutes (a few times) and then I tried posting with English specified and it was instant.
