https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] got that error a few minutes ago when lemmy.world was having some db probs, but works now. I had thought federated posts were supposed to be copied to the local server, and anyway a raw 502 is a confusing diagnostic. This is basically a bug report.
10 hours since you commented, did you find out?
No, I had to go to work. I’m home now, and it’s working.
