This is why you shouldn't serve an open server from home. If you serve your feddit from your house, it's ok if it's for you and your kids. But if you add more than that, I wonder if it just stops. I serve my photo server for my personal use and it makes struggling noises when I look at the images. I picked a cheap 100 HP mini desktop to try this on so I'm not surprised. So imagine if 100 people wanted a 20MB image from the server's HDD.

Is there some sort of comment duping going on? This is the third time I've seen this sort of thing here on Lemmy.

Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.

When I use Jerboa or Connect, sometimes it'll say my comment failed to post when it actually worked. I'll then retry, which results in a double post.
