My first time encountering it, just scrolled to it like three times to check, anyone else having this issue?

Edit: ope, looks like I can’t edit the title lol.

    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.
