The superscript icon doesn’t handle links (or the markdown library handles it incorrectly?).
This text:
Rhino horns are a prized commodity on the black market, and organized criminal networks are involved in smuggling them from Africa to Asia. Image by [Rollison, Nan](https://www.fws.gov/media/rhino-horns) (Public Domain).
Is converted to:
^Rhino\ horns\ are\ a\ prized\ commodity\ on\ the\ black\ market,\ and\ organized\ criminal\ networks\ are\ involved\ in\ smuggling\ them\ from\ Africa\ to\ Asia.\ Image\ by\ [Rollison,\ Nan](https://www.fws.gov/media/rhino-horns)\ (Public\ Domain).^
Which does not render the link properly:
^Rhino\ horns\ are\ a\ prized\ commodity\ on\ the\ black\ market,\ and\ organized\ criminal\ networks\ are\ involved\ in\ smuggling\ them\ from\ Africa\ to\ Asia.\ Image\ by\ Rollison,\ Nan\ (Public\ Domain).^
This markdown would render properly, maybe others would too:

It also fails to handle multi-paragraph selections properly.
While federation between here and voyager clearly somewhat worked at one point, it seems like it’s currently broken. Before starting this test, I verified that Voyager has 1 local subscriber to this comm. I then upvoted a different comment from each instance, and commented on the one I upvoted from the other instance. Neither my votes or comments appear to have federated in either direction.
On https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=lemmy.ml voyager’s last successful activity has increased several times.
On https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state/site?domain=voyager.lemmy.ml I consistently get an error.
I upvoted this comment on ml and commented on it from voyager: https://voyager.lemmy.ml/post/16766/13025#comment-13025

voyager.lemmy.ml uses an allowlist for federation. Otherwise the server quickly gets overloaded when people subscribe to large communities on lemmy.world etc. You can test with enterprise.lemmy.ml (test instance with 0.19), and I can also allow other test instances.
Gotcha, should have checked the allow list but assumed the partial federation of this post meant it was enabled!
Trying to post to an unlisted community shows a “Not found” error.
Unlisted communities show on the creator’s/mod’s profile.
Trying to visit an unlisted community as a non-creator/mod shows an error.
This stuff was implemented completely wrong.
- Unlisted communities should be shown in community list
- Posts/comments from unlisted community should not be shown in All/Local feeds, but should be shown in subscribed feed and when viewing the community directly
Neither of these quite match what I expected from an “Unlisted” community. I’m not sure how to name it to better reflect the actual intent, though.
For the second, I guess the main way that doesn’t fully meet what I’d expect is that if I’m subscribed I’d think I’d see posts in all/local still?
Makes sense, fixed that.
I deeply appreciate the work you do, hopefully the clients and frontends will soon support these features
congratulations on 1.0! woooooo! 🎉🎉🎉
Unable to manage (revoke) Private comm membership post-subscribe (maybe via ban if the user posts? Can’t if no post, haven’t verified if ban actually revokes view access) E: permanent bans do revoke access, haven’t tested others. Bans don’t show in your public modlog, do show in user inbox. That maybe makes sense. Request to (re)subscribe button does nothing?
Unable to manage (grant) Private comm membership post-denial (unless user revokes and re-requests subscription)
Notification for pending membership request not visible in header, only when expanding menu.
Type: Posts
Does not filter out comments on user profile

Thanks for all your testing!
Thanks for all the fixing and filing (and work towards getting here) 
Editing empty multicomms is unintuitive. After creation, the “Subscribe to some communities.” text links to the comm list, which has subscription buttons, but are not for subscribing the multi, but me. It’s probably just reusing the view when you’ve subscribed to nothing, but ideally would either:
- have “subscribe” linked to the multi settings
- link to a comm list that subscribes the multi instead of the user
- have some additional text like “from the multi-community settings”
Also, unintuitive to display for users who didn't create the empty multi
Naming requirements for multis are incorrect, capitals are accepted. Trimming spaces would be nice.

Also applies to comms
Creating a dupe multi: error could be clearer, spelling

I used to have reliable ways of escaping the create post / cross post screen through navigation (back button basically never works when there’s some content) but now I end up even more stuck than I used to be.
Any more details on this? For me its working fine with back button and then press enter for the "Are you sure you want to leave?" dialog.
Hah, every tester knows you never divulge your environment until the dev can’t repro it.
Unfortunately, this one might be difficult, and it’s possible it’s actually a browser bug, though I could swear there are other cases where I do get that prompt.
I can reproduce it in iOS Safari, currently on iOS 26.3.1. I get the pop up if I try in Firefox or Chrome (still on iOS, and they both use the same WebKit afaik), though. I’ll update to the latest shortly and see if that changes anything, but I’ve had this issue in 0.19.x for a long time too.
Updating to 26.5 did not change it.
I’m still confused about why back doesn’t work at all, nor why it works in Chrome and Firefox when I thought they’re basically just reskinning safari, but it seems part of the issue is that beforeunload isn’t properly supported on iOS:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219102
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/beforeunload_event
Wow I didnt think that there are still problems like this on the web. Will be difficult to fix as we dont use iOS devices. Do you know if there is any workaround?
When creating a comm, there are icon/banner inputs. They are ignored and must be set after the comm is created.
Possibly related to the lack of local subscribers but my comment never* federated to Voyager and my edits never federated here.
*it’s been a few minutes which is usually enough
Feature request:
- set default notification behavior for my own posts
- set default notification behavior for posts I comment on
Feel free to open an issue for these. At the moment theres no time for new features because someone reported so many bugs :P
Not a regression, but not fixed: chat view doesn’t show comments below the fold.
Previously, errors generally would leave the content you tried to post available to retry or copy. I am currently rate limited, and the rate limit error clears the contents of my comment. If I had typed a meaningful comment, it would have been lost.
On my profile page, I can no longer visit the post I commented on because the text from the card is behind the link but takes focus

Also, my avatar appears on comments, but not posts.
When trying to edit this post the body never loads. E: Luckily, editing it without setting the body doesn’t clear it, and I can copy the source and edit to actually update, but that’s painful.
Also, I’ll figure out soon what happened previously, but: an mp4 I tried to render in the post looked like it would work well enough when previewing, but created a pictrs mirror that fails with:
{"error":"unknown","message":"error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original?proxy=https%3A%2F%2Fscx2.b-cdn.net%2Fgfx%2Fvideo%2F2026%2Fbrookfield-zoo-chicago.mp4)","cause":"error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original?proxy=https%3A%2F%2Fscx2.b-cdn.net%2Fgfx%2Fvideo%2F2026%2Fbrookfield-zoo-chicago.mp4)"}
Blank inputs that should be populated when editing happens a bunch of places. I think I mentioned user bio somewhere else, but also:
- editing comm sidebar
- editing comments
Also, even in card view I’m sad about how that displays.

In this case thumbnails are still shown small. Only direct image uploads are shown larger.
It threw a different error on the video:
{"code":"download-file-error","msg":"Unable to download image, bad response 400 Bad Request"}
