I’ve noticed very recently (last two days or so) that when I get a direct link to a specific comment, it won’t load anything under certain circumstances.
Following the link from the button on the comment, either from the profile or from viewing other comments on the post, will work, but using the link as the URL for a post in a different community, or opening a new tab and pasting the link in, don’t.
In the former situation, the UI of the post I gave it as the URL for just freezes until I press the back button, still showing the post. In the latter, Lemmy doesn’t load at all.
I’m using Librewolf 116.0, based on Firefox 116.0.
Is that what they said? Often with single page app setups you have unrecognized routes return the main index.html with JS files etc. by default, and then detect the URL path and feed that into the SPA router. From checking in inspector it looked like it was failing to authenticate when loading the route via XHR, like some kind of on-page context was missing that would be required for that request, i.e., it’s not redirecting to the index page and is maybe rewriting straight to the API endpoint. Not sure myself though.
