Wht is the controversion

Yeah, long pressing the link shows the problem:

The post link works for me in Firefox, Vanadium (degoogled Chrome), and WikiReader. The link in the post body gives the error described.

It looks like the post formatting is reading the URL as an unescaped string and escapes the percentage marks that already did that in the string.

The post link is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan%E2%80%93Sato_series

But the version in the body is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanujan%25E2%2580%2593Sato_series

So yeah, it looks like it got double-escaped somehow.

Ah that sounds like a pretty good guess

Not sure about the issue in Thunder, but loading slrpnk.net in my browser is extremely slow on establishing TLS connections even before the anubis check comes up. If I had to guess, Thunder is either timing out connecting, or however anubis is configured on this instance, it's blocking access from Thunder.

Okay, so not just me then. Been having trouble accessing it recently as well, but never tested outside the app.

Interesting that slrpnk.net comes up as one of the autofill options in the textbox when you start typing. But, as you say, Thunder still indicates that it "does not appear to be a valid instance" for some reason.

I assume that means that this Lemmy instance is hardcoded into Thunder as part of an a array of popular/common instances, but that something is "wrong" on the server side and slrpnk is not announcing itself in a way that Thunder is expecting.

Hey! This issue is only fixed in the pre-release versions at the moment (v0.9.0-4). If you don't want to switch to a pre-release version, I'm hoping to get v0.9.0 out within the next couple of weeks which should contain the fix as well.

Okay, nevermind, the behavior is still present (tho ironically, not for this comment) Are you recommending the experimental features be set?

It is v0.8.6, which I just installed yesterday. It hasn't been happening since then, though. I don't remember if I had experimental features on.

Hey there! What Thunder version are you currently running? This issue should be fixed with the latest nightly build

I've reinstalled, and the issue seems to be gone for now.

Fwiw, the issue seems to have gone away in the latest beta version of the app

One of the big problems for me while experiencing that issue was that it was not actually throwing an error. It just... wouldn't log in, and would instead just go back to the previous account that I was logged in as. It was not providing any sort of error message, and it was not crashing so I could not see a crash log or something.

Hey there, sorry for the late response and I'm glad you were able to sort it out!

Thunder does expect instances to report back version numbers using semver otherwise it could throw an error. I'll look into relaxing that constraint in future versions to prevent this from happening!

Fixed by the Quokk.au admin. They had a suggestion for the Thunder devs to help prevent similar issues in the future:

I used a different versioning format for PyLova, so 0.2 instead of 0.2.1.

The app dev should probably look into how it handles that, because instances with custom build and version names probably won't work.

Maybe I should ask: are any Quokk.au users actually able to log in just fine? Is it just me?

I was trying to proofread my post and it was so confusing! 😄

I appreciate you labeling it screenshot lmao

Its funny looking but it genuinely is super disorienting scrolling past a screenshot of a lemmy app within a lemmy app 😅

Oh, that's it! That must have been what I did, and now I can reproduce that every time. I guess I should make a gitgub bug report.

I've noticed this only happens after opening and zooming a picture in a post. Only way to fix it is to close the app. After opening the app again everything is back to normal until you zoom a picture again.

I think the app is going full-screen when you zoom in on a picture and not returning the navigation bar like it should when you close the picture again.

Instance is pawb.social Where? Everywhere. Whatever community I visit, the loading is... long. Longer than in other clients. I'm on latest version: 0.8.6

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take that into consideration!

Hey there, could you provide some more details on the issue? For example, the instance you're connected to, where you're experiencing long loading times, the Thunder version you're currently on, etc.

I don't know if you did anything specific, but that thread works perfectly now! I was just looking at my old posts, and decided to give it a try again.
