Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

  • v195 seems to have broken the three dots menu at the top right of a community (when you open a community and try and go into the menu it does nothing)

    Also, can you add support for embedded videos? Videos can be embedded in the text in the same fashion as images, but these don’t show up in Connect.











  • Update on this: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/us/googly-eyes-sculptures-oregon.html

    The identity of the person behind the pranks, who became known as the Googly Eye Bandit, was unknown. That is until Jeff Keith came forward to claim responsibility.

    Mr. Keith, 53, who runs the Guardian Group, a nonprofit focused on disrupting sex trafficking in the United States, said that in mid-December he sneaked into the middle of a roundabout and put the googly eyes on some public art.

    “Big Ears” by Joe Halko, a sculpture depicting a family of deer, became googly-eyed — including the little fawn between its mother’s legs.

    “I love making people smile,” Mr. Keith said in an interview on Saturday. “Other people started joining in. I’m not taking credit for all of them. That’s the cool part.”

    Mr. Keith, who has lived in Bend for over two decades, said he went to the city offices and offered to pay for the cleanup but he had not heard back.

    Bend’s communications department did not respond to a request for comment on Saturday about Mr. Keith’s offer and whether the city had identified him as the prankster.

    “Honestly, they just want to be done with it,” Mr. Keith said of the city. He added that he came forward only after he learned of the potential damage the googly eyes had caused.





  • The outstanding ones I can think of:

    • Swiping a post to up-vote, bookmark, etc takes action even if you “unswipe” before releasing

    • Sometimes when posting (editing?) a comment it gives an error saying the post isn’t available (I’ll edit in a screenshot when it next happens)

      • Ok, looks like when editing posts it does this:
    • Drag down to refresh doesn’t refresh properly (seems to show an older cached version). Tapping the “Front-page” text on the top left does.

    • When creating a post, if you edit the title and/or the URL it loses the body text.
