Minor (but is there an edit grace period or not?)
  • As a (for now at least) casual user, I can report that a bad first impression is that there are way too many *"500 server errors"*.
  • Within a few tens of minutes I ran into two, one for some profile action (clicking on some tab in a user profile?) and one for en edit action.
  • It was the same impression some months ago and, like for [submitting comments to the official Stack Overflow blog](https://pmortensen.eu/world2/2020/06/24/formatting-wordpress-comments-e-g-on-the-stack-overflow-official-blog/), I now know to save everything offline in a text file in order not to risk losing content and/or have the option to try again some time in the future (including when submitting this very post). That shouldn't be necessary.
  • If there are some known errors or limitations, I think users should at least be informed somehow (e.g., information about workarounds or things to avoid).
  • Perhaps take a look at those *500 server error* error logs?

Added a second reason for saving content offline.

As a (for now at least) casual user, I can report that a bad first impression is that there are way too many *"500 server errors"*.

Within a few tens of minutes I ran into two, one for some profile action (clicking on some tab in a user profile?) and one for en edit action.

It was the same impression some months ago and, like for [submitting comments to the official Stack Overflow blog](https://pmortensen.eu/world2/2020/06/24/formatting-wordpress-comments-e-g-on-the-stack-overflow-official-blog/), I now know to save everything offline in a text file in order not to risk losing content (including when submitting this very post).

If there are some known errors or limitations, I think users should at least be informed somehow (e.g., information about workarounds or things to avoid).
