"Something went wrong" error across devices & clients

I’m recently seeing a “Something went wrong” error when loading newsblur.com

This occurs across devices (this screenshot’s on a Chromebook, and I’m also seeing it on Firefox on Windows) as well as clients; Android app hangs on “Loading…”

Re-logging in doesn’t appear to change anything.

In Devtools I see a HTTP 500 when calling /reader/feeds, which I’m guessing is the issue

But I can’t tell what might be causing it. Any ideas?

When on your phone does it happen on Wi-Fi and your mobile network?

Yeah, same error on both Wi-Fi and LTE. iOS gives a nice “the server barfed!” message.

@samuelclay any idea what might be going on? I’m guessing this is only impacting my account (or a small group) but it’s made Newsblur unusable for me.

I have the exact same problem, with the 500 error visible on desktop and “The server barfed!” on iOS, with WiFi either turned on or off. However, it worked perfectly just last night.

@orphum @etcngh I found the bug. Both accounts had a newsletter feed with an internal list ID that was making /reader/feeds crash while building the feed list. I fixed the parser so those feeds no longer cause a 500. This should be back to normal. Thanks for the detailed reports.
