Very often, if I changed a template or similar, I need to wait 2 - 3 minutes or more that the changes are committed. Sometimes old posts then visible. Why is this? Seems that there are some serious bugs in this case.

Blog rebuilds are queued, there’s a rate limit on a full rebuild. If you go to micro.blog/account/logs you can see what’s going on. It’s very likely that when making lots of template changes in succession what is happening is as follows:
- Micro.blog does a “fast” rebuild that is partial and designed to ensure new posts go up nearly instantly.
- Micro.blog starts a more complete rebuild to pick up your changes with a huge blog rebuild, that can take a minute or so.
- You make another template change.
- Micro.blog queues this build with a 1 min or so waiting period behind the other one.
- You make another template change.
- Repeat step 4.
If you make a lot of changes in quick succession you can build up a pretty long queue.
Mhh. I make one change after another and the theme editor shows when its done (there is a spinner over the update button). So I think I don’t create a bigger queue. Sometimes its really fast (only seconds) sometimes many minutes.
The spinner on the theme page, I believe, is for building the text blog shown in the preview pane. That does not reflect the build process of your actual blog underneath it.
I don’t think so. But it doesn’t matter because i’ve heard that there a problem today with a big backlog with background tasks. This would explain the observed problems today.
