Bug or feature? Immediate download of linked .mov file from post. - sh.itjust.works

Happy New Year, friends. Was using Boost recently (Android, sh.itjust.works) clicking the thumbnail of a post that looked like an image of video. Next I saw (a version of) my phone’s downloads folder, where the .mov video had saved. I was a little freaked that clicking a post thumbnail caused a file to immediately get downloaded and saved on my device - no prompt or otherwise. The post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/52568758 [https://sh.itjust.works/post/52568758] Can I ask if this is intentional? Or a bug with Boost? Post was setup incorrectly? Or maybe the post’s target doesn’t ‘stream’ .mov videos as-such; just sends them to be saved. But still no prompt.

Requests for all:* page 2 timeout. - sh.itjust.works

Multiple Lemmy apps serve the first ‘page’ of posts fine - even new posts or updates - but upon scrolling and requesting the next page, Boost gives an error message “timeout”, and Blorp just doesn’t load anything else (per app implementation, I know). UPDATE: Another user mentioned that if you sort by Top instead of New/Hot/Active, infinite scroll works, and it does.

[BUG] [Boost 1.0.16, Pixel 7] All, second page, timedout (sh.itjust.works)

[BUG] [Boost 1.0.16, Pixel 7] All, second page, timedout (sh.itjust.works) - sh.itjust.works

G’day all. Been using Boost on Android for a while, pretty good, but the past 4-7 days, whenever I load All, it shows a page of posts, and on scrolling down it looks like it’s requesting more posts, the loading bars go back and forth across the top, but no new posts load, and it finally gives a small toast popup saying “timedout”. Have tried stopping the app/restarting, restarting the phone. Also tried a different Lemmy client but I couldn’t recreate the issue. From searching, I’ve seen similar symptoms from a while ago, and also a post here in the last few days asking why there isn’t ‘infinite scroll’ (assuming it’s a similar issue/cause). Sorry if I’ve missed a solution/update etc. If I can test or supply anything else … Lemmy know. Heh.
