This post crashes me if I scroll down

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 12 points 8 months ago

I've opened an issue, hopefully ljdawson will see it quicker there.

https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/475

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's because the user is from an unsupported fediverse platform. See here.. Can you add that to the github issue?

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago
[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

The issue is now closed ๐Ÿ‘€

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

He said elsewhere that it's fixed and the new release is going through google.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's just awaiting Googles go ahead.

The next release is going to be a pretty big one but in terms of major bug fixes did you have anything specific bugging you?

Editing titles has been added too.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yes, not using Lemmy's markdown for spoilers, superscript, and subscript. Sync is still using reddit's version of these things and even going so far as to change the Lemmy spoiler syntax into reddit style after editing a comment. Even inside of code blocks, preventing me from showing other users how to do a proper Lemmy spoiler.

I don't know what else to mention because all of the issues in github remain open and unacknowledged. Like the crash when trying switch users with "hide usernames" turned on.

You can't go away for 4 months, fix a bunch of things in secret, and expect users to know what still needs fixing.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I'm intending to replace the markdown processor completely. If you have any other examples of incorrect markdown please let me know.

That specific crash was patched today and the issue was already closed.

I'm just trying to get a feel of what needs doing first and then get back to closing issues on Github.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Breaking of SwiftKey's autocorrect and gesture typing in titles. Major for me. Also spoiler markdown fix please.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Noted, I'll get those patched. Cheers

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Great to have you back. Thank you.

[-] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

If so that's wild. Even a link to a user does that?

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

All fixed, just waiting for Google to accept the update.

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Got it, thanks LJ!

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

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...?)

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Actor IDs from neo.lightbulb.net were formatted differently. I added a rule and also a failsafe for future.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah, there is a post from a few hours ago that is doing it.

Edit: Now something in these comments is crashing Sync.

[-] 69420@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

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

[-] 69420@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

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:

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Damn you, this post always crash!!!

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)
[-] davel@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world -2 points 8 months ago

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: !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Bad bot. Nobody asked for your help.

[-] cbarrick@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago
[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Same, sync crashes when scrolling because of a post, not sure which one.

[-] WeirdAlex03@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Unimperfect@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

The same thing has just started happening to me.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

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

[-] poopsmith@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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