In the community !casualuk@feddit.uk (https://piefed.social/c/casualuk@feddit.uk), I've noticed that posts by one user in particular (ladybutterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone) don't have post titles visible, when viewing from piefed.social (but other instances don't have this issue). It doesn't seem to be an issue with my account, because the issue still appears when logged out.

For example, these two posts appear to have no title:

  • https://piefed.social/c/casualuk@feddit.uk/p/2508746/content-in-post-body
  • https://piefed.social/c/casualuk@feddit.uk/p/2495477/content-in-post-body

But if you view the same posts on piefed.world, they do have a title:

  • https://piefed.world/c/casualuk@feddit.uk/p/1477011/if-britain-had-to-be-represented-by-one-celebrity-who-would-you-choose
  • https://piefed.world/c/casualuk@feddit.uk/p/1468812/what-s-your-most-ridiculous-british-public-transport-story

Does anyone know if there's a way to fix this issue, so I can see all post titles on piefed.social?

Thanks if anyone has any help.

The forward slash in her display name has a high chance of being the cause.

Looks fine on piefed.zip. Maybe some recent change broke something? IIRC content-in-post-bodywas how posts from nodebb were titled some time ago

My app does not show display name's and it is still that was for me.

Piefed.social doesn't show those titles in the browser either and it could possibly have an impact in the background even if your app doesn't show custom labels.

Could be something else, just the kind of thing I have run into frequently while working on web apps.

Just a heads up, !piefed_help@piefed.social is the proper community for this.

honestly I was under the impression it was something she was doing with her posts. I just kinda don't worry about it because she is pretty prolific so I see plenty of her stuff.

Came across another user whose posts are showing content in body.


Display name looks pretty normal.

Okay thanks, I might post it there, although I noticed on that community the Piefed dev said he's busy with PHP stuff, so maybe I'll wait a couple of days.

I think it has something to do with both piefed.blahaj.zone and piefed.world both being almost equally ancient versions of PieFed. It's to do with the new Follow user functionality and whether the source instance federates the post via a community or via the user follow. This was tidied up in later versions of PieFed but old instances are not 100% compatible with it.

I'm hoping it fixes itself once those instances upgrade.

Thanks very much for answering, I appreciate it.
