@ValueSubtracted I don't know if this is just my instance (mstdn.social) or what, but for the last few days when I click a link in a post from startrek.website I don't go to the link, instead I get a JSON payload delivered as plaintext.
It’s not just you. I’m only on the startrek.website instance and more often than not I have to reload the page 2 to 4 times to not get the JSON stuff. I’m on a laptop, and it happens on both Firefox and Chrome. Ever since the migrating of hosts. I thought it was related to wonkiness/slowness that would go away with time. No one else mentioned it before, so I thought is was something about my equipment or connection.
Any slowness should be gone by now, I haven’t seen the JSON thing happen to me yet, but I’ll look into it. Next time it happens to you can you DM me a screenshot?
It is happening to me randomly whenever I visit startrek.website’s actual website instead of viewing it through my home instance, I just sent a screenshot to you in DMs
It was happening a lot more before but a lot less now, but it still happens
I’ll screenshot the next time it happens. I did copy the text from the last time I had a JSON screen and pasted that text to Notepad. I have pasted that info in a PM to you. All that text, with the JSON bar at the top, is what I get at times instead of the startrek.website page I’m trying for.
For me it has occurred when I am setting up a comment and copying a link from another tab to add. I’ve had at least a couple of comments that I’ve lost and had to re-enter.
The long hamster wheel to load communities has been reduced over the past week, but still much less smooth than on the previous server for me.
@Admin I just encountered it again, in the post at https://startrek.website/post/2041553 Clicking on the link in the post is OK. Clicking on thhe thumbnail, though, delivers the JSON in a new window.
