This post crashes me if I scroll down
- I've opened an issue, hopefully ljdawson will see it quicker there.

  It's because the user is from an unsupported fediverse platform. See here.. Can you add that to the github issue?
  
  He's... alive?
  
  I wonder when this supposed "next release" is going to be and how many other major bugs it will fix. He hasn't replied to any of the other crash reports over the past 4 months.
  And you still can't edit titles for crying out loud.
- Lmfao I think it's because someone posted what causes the crash for them in the comments. Every time I open this post and scroll to it, sync crashes
  
  If so that's wild. Even a link to a user does that?

All fixed, just waiting for Google to accept the update.
- Got it, thanks LJ!
- Can you shed any light on what the cause of the crash was? (Was it something about that image? Or about posts generated by snac2? Or...?)
  
  Actor IDs from neo.lightbulb.net were formatted differently. I added a rule and also a failsafe for future.

Yeah, there is a post from a few hours ago that is doing it.
Edit: Now something in these comments is crashing Sync.

Same. It's only in my"Subscribed" feed. So far it hasn't popped up in the "Everything" feed.

Yes, I don't know which post it is but I've been crashing all morning.

I think I narrowed it down to a post in !ProgrammerHumor@lemmy.ml

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

Damn you, this post always crash!!!

Found it, it's this post

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:

Same, sync crashes when scrolling because of a post, not sure which one.
- It's caused by a user on another non-Lemmy, non-Mastodon fediverse platform. The lemmy web UI doesnt have a problem with them, but I think Sync doesn't know how to deal with displaying a username from an unfamiliar platform

The same thing has just started happening to me.

Yes, I tried to figure out the post but it's really far down the list. I was going to attempt turning off images and find it but I lack the motivation.

+Lemmy actually does support editting titles; it's Sync that doesn't.

I'm not crashing (yet). Is it possible to link the post?
