Update. I asked a friend of mine to take a look at the Lemmy.world front page via his browser (vanilla Firefox) and it works as expected.
I also did an earlier test on a chromium browser and it also works as expected.
It might just be that my browser is breaking stuff, which I need to investigate deeper.
When trying to access Lemmy.world from the desktop, I see this blank-ish page (see attached screenshot). And whenever I try to click Subscribed, Local, or All, the same error message pops up on the lower-left-hand side of my screen:
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
I wonder if it’s connected to the work our admins have been doing recently.
For disclosure, I am using LibreWolf and a userscript to make Lemmy pages look like old.reddit. I’ve turned off the userscript to check if the error disappears, but to no avail.
I may have missed more details that might be helpful, but I’m willing to give such details.
For me it doesn’t either. I assume that Lemmy is perhaps storing incompatible caches.
