On my "subscribed" page, if I scroll down, the app crashes. Not sure of anything more than that. But it's definitely repeatable for me.

It's not lemmy.world, there's a bad post that is crashing sync for users across instances. It's a sync bug.
It was reported here https://midwest.social/post/9381826 but the comments in that will now crash sync too.

Ah. So it's just coincidence that lemmy.world updated to 0.19 today too?

Yes, sh.itjust.works updated Friday and I hadn't encountered anything until now

I've been running .19 on my instance for a while now and recently upgraded to .19.3 and haven't had any crashing on Sync.

Thanks. I couldn't figure out why my Sync was crashing all day

This looks like it might be a corrupted database entry.
Trying to post a link to the image using the old.lemmy.world interface causes a problem as well
It looks like someone has posted a malformed image that is causing the issue.can@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y
It's this post
This crashes for me

It did something for me. Not exactly a crash but it refreshed back to the main page but a few posts away from this one.
Oh, now I see the image. That post was fucking with me too. Once I was able to hide that post the crashing stopped.

That's what happened to me. Repeated attempts to load it made a prompt to clear cache appear. I haven't had a full crash yet. Maybe there's other offending posts. This one is in thee communities though so it could hit a lot of people.
Edit: it's something to do with the user. They made another post in cryptography that breaks sync for me too.
They're on a different activitypub platform.

I'd be cautious.
These malformed images may be malicious.
A malformed image should not cause a crash. I'm not sure what libraries Sync uses for this stuff, but the bug should be reported upstream (assuming it's not just some exception mishandling going on in Sync.)

They're on a platform I don't recognise.

If you block the user, it seems to fix the problem,, but you'll have to block them on another app, or via browser, obviously.
Pain in the ass
