I would say Lemmy issue. This is probably a default 502 internal sever error response (which I've been getting repeatedly from lemmy.world). Jerboa (I don't use it btw) is only trying to parse the expected json response. Yes the app could handle the error more gracefully but if Lemmy didn't respond with an error jerboa wouldn't need to.

Lemmy realy should not randomly emit errors for no reason, there should be no need for retries in this case. If the specification specifies a JSON response, and the server randomly provides HTML, that is a bug in the server.

The error is not being emitted by Lemmy though. The 502 error message is returned to the client by nginx when the Lemmy server doesn't respond within the a certain time.

personally I'd say it's a Jerboa thing. the app should retry loading because sometimes I refresh after this happening and it immediately loads the proper content.

with all the different instances this sort of thing has to be kept in mind

Just retry is usually a bad ideia, specially that this problem is probably an overload, just adding retries can makes the problem.even worse with the app ddosing the server
