I think I narrowed it down to a post in [email protected]

This is all I see in the feed. As soon as I scroll, Sync crashes:

Do you know what it is about that post that causes the crash? The Sync devs might like to know.

Is it the image: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/b733f506-7837-415d-a761-e3bea08c0594.png

Or is it some specific thing in the body of the post:

I don't think it's either, previewing a new post using the same values doesn't crash S4L, I think it has more to do with OP's instance being based on snac2 (first time I encountered this ActivityPub-compatible server) and returning something S4L doesn't normally expect.

If so then the workaround for Sync users would perhaps be to block the neon.nightbulb.net instance, and for the long term, file a bug with the Sync folks.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Bad bot. Nobody asked for your help.
