Aw geez, wish I can help more. But IMO the dev is very aware of this. IIRC when 5.2.4, this current latest version, dropped, I remember seeing in-app popup pointing to that GitHub issue that the dev opened.
Trying out piefed.zip.
This could be my main.
I am also @JayGray91@piefed.social on piefed.social, @JayGray91@lemmy.zip on lemmy.zip, @JayGray91@lemmy.world on lemmy.world, @JayGray91@fedia.io on fedia.io, and @JayGray91@kbin.earth on kbin.earth

Could be related to this issue.
I can corroborate that when I turn off my custom DNS it works swimmingly, until YouTube figured out to block my IP again.


Don’t have to install anything. Some instance make it the default though, but I think most front end like Voyager or Alexandrite (or tesseract since we are discussing it) you can visit their web page and point your home instance to use their UI.
Edit; I’m copying a comment someone else made here https://piefed.zip/comment/6322459 since it’s pretty consise than what I explained 😅
It’s a frontend. So literally a skin to make a website look prettier and more organized.
Imagine a waiter starts telling customers what foods they are allowed to eat. He wasn’t the chef, the manager, the owner, anybody.
That’s how stupid it was.


It kind of is, considering it’s still an app of sorts, but using the web browser. I just keep using “front end” because that’s what others call it. I see it like an app. but yeah, it’s to change the UI if you don’t like the default lemmy UI.


Hmm. I learned something today. Thanks. I think.


bottom face/hands,
I usually don’t like to play the “English as second language” card, as I take great pride learning it, but I need to for this one lol. what does this mean?


It’s a front end to change the UI of lemmy, and others like lemmy. you can see some examples of others here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ . Filter by web app to see some of the other popular ones.


I don’t really go on a blocking spree much. How would a front end’s block list implementation be different than the instance’s choice of software’s block list implementation?
I hardly browse All and Local. I am on a piefed based instance, and leave “Enable Automatic Follow of Feed Communities.” and “Enable Automatic Leave of Feed Communities.” on. So kind of my subscribed feed is semi automatic as long as I follow a broad topic.
It’s baffling how the Japanese brands just fumble electrifying the kei car class. Seriously Toyota, Honda and Suzuki has a strong foothold in my country but the fucked up and conceded to the flood of Chinese EVs. I mean I’m glad that we have the choice of cheaper EV from the Chinese but it’s still kind of sad personally to me.
