[BUG] Sync Crashing after lemmy.world 0.19 update (lemmy.world)

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 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.)

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
