First noticed these two in 293 but they remain in 295s. I’m on list view and tapping on any image in my feed brings a pop-up to download the image. This includes posts that have a thumbnail as well as image posts. Also the change view selection in the overflow menu on my feed doesn’t work.
EDIT: For those experiencing the image download issue, switching to card view resolves it. You can’t do it through the overflow menu so you need to go into Settings, tap on Post Customizations and change it in there.
EDIT2: If you’re on v296 and still prefer list view, turning off the setting that open links in the external browser will fix the pictures issue. Hopefully both options can coexist again in a future update.
I’m sure the dev has the details of your issue on their tracker and works on it when they can. Unfortunately the problem seems rare and the cause unclear so it remains elusive for the time being.
Perhaps it’s time to check out one of the other Lemmy apps and maybe check back sometime in the future if you’re still looking for a daily driver.
