When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Lemmy client Alexandrite -- no icons for actions on notifications page (sometimes).. wtf? (slrpnk.net)

The instance who hosts me (slrpnk) defaults to Alexandrite, a 3rd party Lemmy web client. It’s a good move considering how unstable and buggy the stock Lemmy client is.

But it has a bizarre defect. Most of the time, all the icons for actions below comments on the notifications page are blank. On some rare occasions they will mysteriously render. But most of the time I have to guess on the position of an icon, hover, and wait for a text popup. Upvotes and downvotes are indistinguishable.

There are also times when the whole page is a disaster and I must do a hard-refresh. The refreshing causes the server to work harder, and also often triggers slrpnk’s anti-bot javascript test (which is incidental and unrelated to Alexandrite).
