Can someone verify: The Post Feed widget stopped working some weeks ago. It won‘t show subscribed posts. „All“ works, but not „subscribed“.

Actually it won‘t work at all, as soon as I once chose my account.

Unbelievable. Now it works again?! Week long outage. Widget erased and added multiple times. No effect. Todays uninstall of Arctic might have done the trick. BUT only after same background refreshes. 🥳 I should have posted earlier.

I’m looking into this right now. As far as I can tell so far, the issue is not directly related to the feed settings. It appears to be crashing due to strict memory constraints (30mb) for widgets.

When the feed is loading, all images are resized to the size required for the widget style. However, resizing an image increases memory usage during the process. This seems to be the cause of the crash.

I’ve done a bit of refactoring, images are now cached to disk rather than memory, and I’m working on a more efficient way to resize images. In the past, I used Lemmy’s pictrs API to resize the image before downloading, but the resulting images are very low quality, and grainy when resizing via api.
