Basically the title. Sometimes it is logged as a failure but most often it's not logged. Been happening for a few days.

Comments are having network error sometimes. I'll see if I can copy the exact error and ammend this post.

No hurrys no worries. Thanks for your hard work!

Edit:

[Upvote errors]

Unknown error. Code '-1'. Key SocketException

And some are 400 Bad Request.

[Comment]

Connect Network Error

I don't think the comment error has anything to do with summit. More likely a broken vpn connection.

I should also mention that its not just piefed but other accounts too.

So after looking at things a little closer I think that the quota is part of the issue. After I reach the quota upvotes stop working in any instance I switch to in the summit app. If I close the app while on a different instance and reopen I can upvote like normal.

Is there a list of instances that do not have a quota? I can see why it might be important but the quota thing kind of blows!

There is probably a way that PieFed can decline votes from client apps that doesn't wreck them! I'll look into that.

There is no list but if you post in !piefed_meta@piefed.social asking for instances like that then maybe some will volunteer to host you.

I'll probably make a request in the piefed_meta. Having a social app that puts limits on your ability to interact socially seems antithetical to the entire premise of social media. Although in a testing environment the quota does makes sense. Your testing grounds might not be the best fit for me as I do upvote a lot!

I like being positive and I want to encourage people to post and comment. Often times I might not like or even agree with the poster/commenter but I value their interaction and viewpoint and think it's important to encourage participation.

Thanks Rimu! Probably haven't told you that I appreciate you, and I do.

Thanks for your kind words, despite our differences on this.

I get that people want to show support and encourage each other. There's a point, though, where it gets indiscriminate and wasteful.

In my analysis of voting patterns I think it's pretty clear that this intervention only impacts a tiny number of people and that the quota level is set so that 99.98% of people (or 98% if you ignore the less-engaged users (why, tho?)) will almost never use up their quota.

You're in that 0.02% so it feels different for you.

There are a ton of other ways to support the fediverse. Find interesting content to post, write nice comments, moderate some communities, improve the docs for Lemmy, translate the UI, report a bug in the issue tracker, report spammers, spread the word on mainstream social media, donate money, and so on. Get creative.
