New problem with Mastodon or Pachli: likes and boosts aren't working from the main page a lot of the time.
I can •click• on like or boost on my phone, but like doesn't seem to work most of the time. Or it might show as if it was successful, but goes away if I click to open the post itself.
Why would I click to open the post? Because about 85% of the time •I can't boost unless I open the post•. That's when I discover that the Like I clicked on from the main page magically disappeared.
I literally had EXACTLY that experience again while writing this. Saw a post I liked, so I clicked the star to indicate that I liked it. Then I tried to boost it, but while it acted as if I had clicked on boost it didn't change the color of the boost symbol. So I opened the post by clicking on the text. Sure enough, it was no longer liked nor boosted.
Something is definitely wrong with either Mastodon or Pachli. But I suspect that the problem is more likely to be with Mastodon; either that, or Mastodon has another issue. Because when I post or comment from my browser (Brave on a Windows 11 system), there's a huge lag. My internet connection is perfectly fine, and I'm not seeing this effect with any other website. I just get the rotating blue wheel of Lag for 15 to 20 seconds, if not longer.
I can open up Mastodon in another window, and my post or comment will be there. But it will show ad still lagging and not yet posted in the original Mastodon window.
I don't know what the problem is!
