I think I narrowed it down to a post in !ProgrammerHumor@lemmy.ml

This is all I see in the feed. As soon as I scroll, Sync crashes:
- Damn you, this post always crash!!!
- Found it, it's this post
  
  Do you know what it is about that post that causes the crash? The Sync devs might like to know.
  
  Is it the image: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/b733f506-7837-415d-a761-e3bea08c0594.png
  
  Or is it some specific thing in the body of the post:

  Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml
  
  Bad bot. Nobody asked for your help.
  
  I don't think it's either, previewing a new post using the same values doesn't crash S4L, I think it has more to do with OP's instance being based on snac2 (first time I encountered this ActivityPub-compatible server) and returning something S4L doesn't normally expect.
  
  If so then the workaround for Sync users would perhaps be to block the neon.nightbulb.net instance, and for the long term, file a bug with the Sync folks.
