Empty main feed (piefed.social)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) by lukkon@piefed.social to c/piefed_meta@piefed.social
 

Hi all, I think I am facing some bug. My main feed is empty whatever I try to filter. If I click on specific feed that I follow, I see the posts there. Please, help!

EDIT: So it's photon of piefed.social that stopped to work :(

Sorry about that, I'll fix it soon.

In the mean time, use https://b.piefed.social/

Just wanna confirm does post pagination start at page 0 or page 1? Looks like photon starts at 0 but Blorp assumes PieFed starts at page 1. An API update should unblock Photon, but I don’t see a way around fixing Photon or Blorp if we don’t all agree on which page is first.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 6 points 4 weeks ago

Yes it starts at 1.

I've put in a PR to photon https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/pull/723 and a temporary hack into PieFed that checks the referrer for 'p.piefed.social' and works around it.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 4 points 4 weeks ago

Yes, that's Blorp.

https://p.piefed.social/ works now.

Photon support for piefed.social is now fixed! Thanks yall!

I've been having blocked comms showing up in apps for the past day or so. The web version seems to be fine. I wonder if these could be related somehow

Hi :)

Maybe it's the language settings. Can you go to settings, then check english ?

[–] lukkon@piefed.social 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Tried that, didn't help. I also cleared cookies and cache, logged in again, no change. English stayed as set language.

[–] Snoopy@piefed.social 3 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I guess you also tried with language none and another UI ? That's outside my knowledge.

Meanwhile, you can give us detail :

  • piefed instance
  • subcribed feed
  • and the ui software : Blorp ? Photon ?

Sorry for the inconvenience, i hope someone will help you :)

Blorp dev here. Did some investigating and it looks like Photon is asking PieFed for page 0 of posts. I'm not sure how technical you are, sorry if this is duh, but programmers like to start counting things from 0. PieFed however doesn't seem to like this.

Here's what I think is happening:

  • Photo asks for page 0 of posts
  • PieFed says "there are no posts at page 0"
  • Photon thinks if page 0 is empty, then there is no page 1

What should happen:

  • Photo should ask for page 1 of posts
  • PieFed will respond "there are 25 posts on page 1"
  • Photon says page 1 is full so page 2 must have content
  • Photon then asks PieFed for page 2 of posts
  • ...etc until we run out of pages of posts

In other words, page 0 is a short circuit that prevents the entire feed from loading

Or maybe we wanna fix this at the API level? @rimu@piefed.social @wjs018@piefed.social

This seems like it was broken in a recent update since this issue just popped up (i think)

thanks for letting me know, i fixed the problem

[–] Snoopy@piefed.social 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Thank for the explanation, it was clear. So it was an address problem :)

[–] lukkon@piefed.social 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's piefed.social. just figured out that photon does not work. But it used to. So p.piefed.social is broken :(

[–] Snoopy@piefed.social 3 points 4 weeks ago

Thank anyway for your report maybe it is related to feed API. :)

[–] lukkon@piefed.social 2 points 4 weeks ago

It worked well for months. Last time I used piefed was 2-3 days ago. I have more than 50 subscriptions. But feed is empty.
