Error when joining thread for first time

[oznekenzo]

Am seeing an error when an account tries to join a new thread for the first time. I believe this is regardless of whether the account has opened the space associated with the thread before. This error goes away and user is able to join thread on the second try. This is preventing the user from posting to their wall on first login.

Am getting this error:

Correction! It seems it does work if the user has opened the corresponding space before

[oznekenzo]

Correction to the correction! Seems it happens some of the time if you've already opened the space, but every time if the space hasn't been opened before.

This might be because the space DID is not replicated on the pinning-node yet. Are you opening the thread with the current user as the firstModerator? Can you share the code?

[oznekenzo]

Yes - I'm opening the thread with the current user as the first moderator.
Code:

const space = await box.openSpace(followingSpaceName);
const opts = {
  firstModerator: myAddress,
};
const wallThread = await space.joinThread(myProfileWall, opts);
const wallPosts = await wallThread.getPosts();
wallThread.onUpdate(() => updateMyWall());

As a workaround I would recommend doing this instead:

const space = await box.openSpace(followingSpaceName);
const opts = {
  firstModerator: space.DID,
};
const wallThread = await space.joinThread(myProfileWall, opts);
const wallPosts = await wallThread.getPosts();
wallThread.onUpdate(() => updateMyWall());

@oed I'm seeing the error despite using space.DID instead of eth addr

Update: Although the error persists and results in the same log and prevents fetching the thread, there was a bug in the dapp that prevented fetching the same thread on onSyncDone. The thread is successfully fetched the second time around in onSyncDone on (still first signin), so there is less urgency to solve this issue, if there is one.

I'm currently unable to replicate this.
