Posting takes 5-30 seconds often

[alexbbrown]

Describe the bug
when I make a post or reply it usually shows a spinner for 30 seconds. This occurs around 70% of the time.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the app
2. Tap on someone's post
3. Write a thoughtful, respectful reply
4. Tap Toot / send
5. Observe a spinner for 30 seconds
6. Maybe it succeeds?

This is when attached to wifi, so there should not be bandwidth problems
This is for the hachyderm.io server; I haven't tried others

Expected behavior

1. After tapping send, the toot should succeed in 0-3 second and return control to the user
2. If the toot does not succeed in this time, ensure that the user can regain control by presenting a cancel button or just cancelling automatically
3. Optionally schedule the toot for sending in the background and provide a completion UI later

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

(Sample to show UI m only, this one completed in reasonable time)

(please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhone 12
• OS: iOS 16.1.1
• App Version: 1.7

@jzzocc is there any way to get good logs or diagnostics that would help with this issue?

This continues to be a HUGE problem for me almost every time I post.

I almost always to wait 30 seconds to post, and sometimes it has failed at the end and I get loads of dupes.

I also have difficulty reproducing it in debug; whcih suggests it's based on a more complex set of events.

it's not aided by hachyderm server issues currently

Sample response. OK so it really does take 30s.
