UI missing icons/actions.. e.g. no up/down vote, reply, etc. Did a recent Lemmy release try to do something fancy? (slrpnk.net)

Something broke. I think there was no problem when I last visited a couple days ago. Today all posts have only a down arrow for the spillover actions, no icons. If I move the mouse above where the icons /should/ be, the pointer turns into a finger. So the actions are still available but just invisible.

(edit) when I use Firefox and enable displaying images, only then can I see icons. I normally use Ungoogled Chromium with images disabled (images dramatically increase my Internet costs). So I wonder if someone tried to get fancy and install images instead of icons from fonts.

I've also seen this recently. Waiting a few minutes and refreshing the page (using the browser, not the site's own interface) usually fixes it. Network issue perhaps? Server load?

refreshing made no difference for me. Tried a hard refresh (control-shift-R).

You can try clearing you browser cache for this site, people have reported that this fixes it for a while.

I have today noticed for the first time this happening on my mobile browser, but sadly it lacks the nevessary debug tools to figure out what is going wrong.

I have a suspicion what might be the cause, but without a clear way to replicate and identify the issue, I can't do a bug report for it.

Upon seeing your edit, I don't know what the problem is, but @[email protected] might know how this works. slrpnk.net didn't upgrade to a new Lemmy release in the last few days, so that wouldn't be the problem. Did you upgrade your browser?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

No I did not change my browser. But today it works so it seems they fiddled with an anti-ai-scraper mechanism and now it works again.
