  • Is this, by any chance, originated from the sub called ignore me? In that case is probably my bad because is set as the image of the channel. I was playing with lemmy in the previous version and forgot about it, sorry.

    It will not work since your browser can’t access local file that easily without breaking the sandbox :) also the that alert appears because your browser is trying to load an image with that path, nothing dangerous or remotely exploitable, don’t worry.

    Edit: I removed it so you shouldn’t see the alert anymore.

    P.S. not, it’s not trying to steal anything, it’s your browser trying to load that file as an image but instead of being let’s say this url: https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/c0e83ceb-b7e5-41b4-9b76-bfd152dd8d00.png (this sub icon) , it’s this one file:///etc/passwd so you browser is doing the request to your own file. Don’t worry, nothing got compromised.
