Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 18:26:33 @colinstu Yes, they should. They don't, but they should. @fediverse_connection @pixelfed @Mastodon @andypiper |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 18:46:09 @tokyo_0 @fediverse_connection @pixelfed @Mastodon @andypiper anything get logged? Have not encountered this issue. Github link on issue? Not finding it. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 18:59:43 @colinstu I don't run an instance, so I have no idea what the log says. And it's kind of a fallacy to suggest this would actually be any different based on whether a github issue was open or not. Github issues for Mastodon have been open for literal years without ever being taken seriously. It's hard to imagine anyone involved in Mastodon development doesn't see this in their feed the same way I and others do. @fediverse_connection @pixelfed @Mastodon @andypiper |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 19:07:55 @tokyo_0 well if it's been fixed then the issue would've been closed. If the issue is still open then I would expect the issue to persist. Was curious to find out why the issue would still be around / what folks are reporting as a cause. Not saying it's a fallacy, I just want to learn more about this issue. It could be an instance-specific issue? I wouldn't put it past them for never seeing it, especially if it's never been reported on GH. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 19:15:23 It's not specific to an instance. It's been happening at least since November 2022 (in terms of what I've seen personally). When people talk about it, they're often dismissed with comments like "it should refetch". But I'm not sure which Mastodon instances people are using that they don't see this routinely. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 19:15:37 Re Github, I had a look, out of curiosity. Here are some open issues related to media not showing or being refreshed correctly: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/9668 - opened Dec 2018, closed but not resolved https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21625 - opened Nov. 2022, no comments, updates or triage, remains open and unresolved. |
Föderation EN Fr 02.08.2024 22:27:32 @tokyo_0 @colinstu @fediverse_connection thanks for digging these up. I do not know what the status is on this, but I can certainly confirm that I've seen the issue myself (my three pinned posts all seem to have that problem with media from links, for example); I do not run my own instance so I can't check the logs. We're hard at work on the 4.3 release at the moment, but I will see if we can look into it at some stage. |
