  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

Just in case its not me I'd like to put it out there that file loading seems slower than usual. The best example is the loading speed of avatars after clearing the cache.
Very repeatable on my end.
A less repeatable problem is that page loading hitches at seemingly random, the browser indicates it's waiting on no-cookie.kiwifarms.st
This requires several Ctrl+F5's to clear out.

On desktop, Librewolf, over VPN.

I would accept the answer that the VPN is responsible but the increase in load time seems to oddly line up with the troubles after upgrades.
Of course this is not a big deal, but may be a symptom of a bigger problem down the line.

Also,
I am using an adblocker, cross site cookie blocker, and script blocker. These were configured to run the site with no trouble before thw upgrade, and I have not touched their settings since. I don't see any indication that these are causing trouble but they might be useful to know.

This is no longer happening for a whole day, site works well on my end.
 
Possible issue with Tor.

Starting from 3:10 AM EST today I've experienced a period of downtime that lasted over two hours (probably much longer, I got bored and went outside). I was entirely unable to connect to the site, even to the Kiwiflare page, and kept getting "The connection has timed out" message.

This only affected the Tor Browser, clearnet connection was stable.
The issue is not with my browser or my Internet connection, however, as I was able to access other websites through Tor, and the downtime only affected Kiwi Farms.

I was unable to fix this problem by changing the Tor circuit, restarting the browser, as well as updating the browser.

I tried connecting via Brave's Tor. It connected to kiwifarms.st, but did not redirect to the onion address (kiwifarmsaaf4t2h7gc3dfc5ojhmqruw2nit3uejrpiagrxeuxiyxcyd). When I input the onion address into the address bar manually, I got the timeout error again.

Connecting from Lesotho, no VPN, using an Aryan PC.
I'm also trans btw if that matters.

Having the same problem here. I've been forced to log into this hatespeech website through the clearnet, which can only mean the government has sent a crack team of special agents to my home to feed me LSD and electrocute me with a car battery until I agree to stop being racist.

Clear net from the UK also works. Its like Morgan Freeman in Shawshank when he gets out of prison after all those years. Things have changed maaan.

As nice as fixing TOR would be, this seems like the biggest priority since OFCOM would love to demand that Josh respect their authority, and outright blocking the UK is the best way to subvert all that bullshit.
 
I'm having intermittent slowdowns.
First noticed about a week ago, still happening here and there, lastest one is right now.
No specific threads or parts of the site.
Clearnet using Windscribe VPN
Opera browser on mobile

I rescind my claim
Now it's a 50:50 whether it redirects to the (not-working) onion site or leaves me be on .st
Site usability has become a gamble
fucking riggers

Now is the first successful attempt in 2 hours in which I managed to get to .st without getting redirected to defunct .onion
@Null please fix .onion urgently

Null posted a month ago that clearnet over Tor is no longer supported, and requests will be redirected to .onion:
Null

Post in thread 'Official Tor Hidden Service for the Kiwi Farms'

For technical and moderation reasons, all Tor requests will now redirect to the Hidden Service .onion URL. Thank you for helping me help you help us all.

So that (and Tor being down) is likely what's happening. However, these recent posts suggest it doesn't always redirect.

Thread TL;DR but here is my issue
Mobile
Tor app and own vpn circuit

Log in to able to shitpost (like this) -> All fine and dandy but at random time frame site stop responding (no attachment opening or likeing post) if you hope to the next page then cryptography challenging solving shit pops up (ddos retarding by kiwifalre)... site reloads -> I'm fucking logged off !

why do you get to set my priorities?
Click to expand...
misunderstanding perhaps
my time was very limited because I didn't know when the website would realize that .st ought to redirect me to .onion, so I used a shorthand
like, "can you please fix this, and please do it urgently?", not "I dictate you do this at this priority"
it was a question/plea, not an order
regardless, thank you, .onion is now working good on my end

Customer service ticket:

Videos aren't uploading. I have it in 480 p and have compressed it to 184 MB, nothing extensive honestly and I've had larger files upload fine in the past.
Know things are kinda wonky now.
