Up until yesterday, this problem didn’t exist but today when I was connected to a VPN, I couldn’t post either a text or image post. I got this error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

After I disconnected from my VPN, the error went away. What gives?

    It’s the result of the webservice returning an html error page instead of a json response.

      It would be preferable to return an error response in a json string, if that’s feasible.

        Of course it would but I’m just saying what I’m seeing

        Lemmy-UI’s error reporting leaves… much to be desired. It’s better than it used to be, but not as good as it could be.
