It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed

Part of the interface has moved from the right side to the very bottom, and the default font has changed to this fancy font. Any idea what it is and what caused it?

Nothing changed even after deleting history, cookies, restarting the browser, or restarting the computer.

Hmm, a couple questions then:

  • What theme are you using? Try changing your theme and see if that helps.
  • Is it the whole site (piefed.social), or just that one post?
  • If it is the whole site, does the same thing happen when you view content on another piefed instance, like feddit.online?

High contrast theme. Tried other themes, same thing.

Is it the whole site (piefed.social), or just that one post?

Only that particular post. This post about the problem itself does not have this bug.

If it is the whole site, does the same thing happen when you view content on another piefed instance, like feddit.online?

I looked at that post from another instance (feddit.online) and the same problem exists there.

Ok, I went back through your post history and found the post in question. I can confirm that something is seemingly broken with that post, though I am not exactly sure what. Did you make this post via the website or in an app?

@rimu@piefed.social - Looking at the page source, there are <em> tags all over the place, even when they are not included in the template files. No idea what could be going on. Post in question.

I posted via the website, my browser is LibreWolf.

Thanks! I honestly have no idea what is going on, but the fact that it hasn't repeated at all makes me think that this might be tough to figure out. If you do see it happen again, please point it out so that we can better track down what might be a common root cause.
