404 when boosting a boosted toot
Issue
Has been going on for several months now, initially looked like random error, but it appears that some conditions apply actually (workaround too).
This issue was not there on previous releases.
So, when boosting a toot, I sometime hit a 404 - Record not found
error in Fedilab. I usually do long press to select a different acccount to share the toot (both accounts are on the same server).
Today as I looked for this issue, I can see another issue somewhat similar, where it was mentioned that this issue could be worked around by going to the contact's page and retry. This did work for my particular case today, after repeated failures to boost from my timeline.
Steps for reproducing the issue
- Find a cool toot to boost.
- Boost it, with current account or different account (long press)
- There is a fair bit of chance that it will fail with a 404
