Getting a lot of "Too many requests" warnings on peertube.wtf
Hi. I'm getting a lot of warnings when opening peertube.wtf. I'm logged in to my peertube.wtf account.
When I open the frontpage, four errors pop up in the bottom right, all with the same message:
Error in channel miniature component. Too many requests, please try again
When I try to open anything like my notifications or subscriptions, more errors will pop up. Sometimes I have to refresh multiple times for it to work. That's counterintuitive, because I'm creating even more requests by refreshing multiple times.
I've gotten used to it by now, but I thought I report it here. Maybe it can get fixed.
Edit: Using Firefox 139.0.4 on CachyOS (Arch)
Edit 2: It's fixed
Seeing "The following packages have been kept back" Error while updating your system? Here's how to handle this error in Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.
I'm on Debian 12. I did an upgrade today and got a message that pipewire-audio had been kept back. A few weeks ago I did a:
sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports pipewire
Which pulled in the newer version of pipewire so I could resolve an issue.
So I searched for 'apt kept back' and found the above article. I wanted to share it for anyone else in the future hitting something like this.
My solution is just to do nothing. Debian 13 should only be a few months away at this point and when I attempt to run an update only for pipewire-audio it indicates that I need to update wireplumber. I don't really want to go down the dependency hole at this time, so just going to let it chill.
Help, i can't install install anything because of broken install
Hello,
I can't do anything that implies the use of dpkg or apt. No matter what i do, i get the same message (on french).

Mark read broken
As a secondary button, tapping on it does nothing. And other methods, including viewing a post's picture and just viewing a post. This is on v264. I think I first noticed this a few versions back.
I'll post this minor one as well. If you have 4 secondary buttons set, sometimes a sticky post will have its overflow menu button clipped on the right and goes off-screen.
landscape not working
Landscape is not working on the latest beta it seems or am I missing some setting?
Poster's instance blocked when instance blocking
I think it was working fine previously but I just noticed in v252 that when you try to block an instance, it blocks the instance of the poster rather than the community the post was made.
Bug with downloading
Hello !
When I try to download an image, with the new good looking (👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼) popup overlay, I get this error:
Cheers!
Profile picture errors
Started seeing this every now and then on v251. Previously I don't recall seeing this. It only occurs when a profile picture has issues loading and typically is temporary; the error is removesd once the link resolves. Before it's resolved, it can be a hindrance.
I support apps being more verbose and error messages but in this particular case, I don't think the error message is necessary; if the a profile picture link doesn't resolve, so be it. Maybe on an user profile page, it may be more of a consideration.
All images suddenly open in external browser
I was originally going to post about blurred NSFW images opening in external browser unless you first open the comments where the thumbnail is visible and tapping on that then opens the image internally. But this issue has recently spread to cover pretty much every image. The images have URLs like https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc29a7ebe-f747-4518-8e53-62a552145b5f.jpeg which seems to make Connect think it's an entire website that should be opened externally. Is it a Lemmy thing, my home instance sopuli.xyz thing or a Connect thing?
Note that I did try disabling the external browser in the settings but actual websites opening internally was a horrible reminder about why we don't do that.
EDIT: Following @[email protected]'s advice, I switched to the beta branch on Play Store and it seems this week started with a number of related fixes. I'm on version 257 now and the majority of images seem to now open
Link opening in external browser broken
Was working in a recent version but now everything opens in the internal browser. I'm on v247.
EDIT: For posts with links where the thumbnail is not resolving, the link goes to the external browser. For everything else, it opens in the internal browser; with the open external setting on.
New comment highlighting broken
It was working in a recent version but I no longer see the highlighting in v244&245. Tried toggling the setting on and back on but nada.
Export settings not exporting all settings
First and foremost, I'm really glad this feature has finally been added. Many have requested and it's here. Unfortunately, it's not fully baked yet.
Filters(keyword), MultiCommunities, and user notes are not exported in v244. Domain and other filters may also not be exported; I didn't have those so I'm not sure if they get exported.
So whatever you do, don't go clearing the app cache and expect everything to be saved when you import. Like I did. I only have myself to blame for testing freshly implemented features on beta builds. Losing my user notes hurt.
Keyboard pop-up bug
Recently, I noticed the keyboard would sometimes pop up at random times and I finally figured out reproducible steps.
Search any community from the sidebar and tap on it. Tap on a post and then tap and hold the screen, sliding it to the right. The keyboard should popup for some reason, even though there is no input field on-screen(after the post view is off-screen). This only seems to happen if the search field in the sidebar has text inputted. I was wondering why the heck the keyboard keeps popping up.
Pinned posts showing up at bottom of page 1
Pinned posts were showing up at the top of communities a couple of versions back but they're following your sort settings in v241. And I think a few versions prior as well.
EDIT: Ah, so they're actually showing up at the bottom of page 1. They don't follow your sort settings and enabling the page number setting revealed that specific.
Vote count sometimes not updating until feed update bug
I'm not sure what the trigger is for this but it seems to occur after a couple hours of not using Connect. So sometimes when I view posts in a community, the vote count for it is around half of the actual count when I go back to viewing the community page. If I open the community in my browser, the current vote count indicates the community view in Connect is up to date. I can view other posts or go back into affected posts and the count will be incorrect.
I think viewing other subscribed communities will also not fix the problem. It is corrected when I view one of my feeds and then go back to the posts. I've only noticed this happening with the Canada community on Lemmy.ca, so it may be community specific but I suspect it's not and my other subscribed communities aren't as active to test.
I've only noticed this recently, so maybe it's only been introduced in to last couple of updates, or it's been longer and I haven't paid attention.

Hey everyone! So, I thought it would be a nice idea to put together a list of all the bigger news stories that may have been missed over the last week. There's always something going on in the Steam Deck world, so I wanted to share a roundup of news. If this is something you guys like, I will start doing this every week!
If you would like to see more information, like weekly available bundles and such, just let me know and I can add it to next week's list.

Is anyone having an issue with lemmy loading very slowly when logged in on a browser?
Edit: Clearing the cache fixed it, thanks!
This has been occurring for a while now, and I've recently noticed that:
Especially looking to see if it happens on other instances/other browsers/other mobile clients
Information:
I initially just chalked this up to the instance being slow, but I recently noticed it not happening when logged out
Draft not saved after setting image?
I typed out a post and went to add the picture for it but after the upload, a draft wasn't saved and the body section was empty. It was only two sentences so not a big loss. This is with v232.
Also, can the title be saved with the drafts as well? The title field is never saved.
EDIT: Interestingly, the title is saved after selecting an image but the body is not. While a saved draft, after backing out of post creation, doesn't include the title.
EDIT2: Another bug is post edits are no longer appearing after you submit them. Even when you back out to the community view and go into the post to refresh it, the updated post is not reflected and you need to reopen Connect for the things to be updated.
