   @lxo Yeah, that seems like an issue we have when an external link is not (temporarily) reachable. The same link probably will work some minutes later, and the behaviour you describe will go away. I've put a pin in a notice pointing to the washingtonpost.com to check in logs, I think that's the one causing it. Anyway, it is a different issue.

     here's an oddity that might or might not be related, and that might provide a clue about what we're running into.
     
     the other day, while scrolling down my timeline, eventually I got to a point in which it wouldn't add more posts any more. today, this happened to me again.
     
     using explicit paginated URLs, when I hit that same point of the timeline, the page doesn't finish loading (the right sidebar isn't displayed, nor is the bottom box, and the last appearing post is incomplete)
     
     other attempts to load pages concurrently with this one often fail altogether, timing out or yielding 504 errors.
     
     it's almost like there's a hard disk failure and the system keeps on retrying the read, slowing the entire system down, until it eventually fails.
     
     maybe this is affecting my outgoing queue too?
