Did the open link button get removed on purpose? For all those embedded gifs and images that don’t load in Voyager there used the be a chain link icon on the post which would open the post in external browser where the embeds work. Since the most recent update that button is gone and isn’t in the … menu either.

    This was part of the 2.24.0 update that was put out 2025-02-02.

    The functionality was replaced with the share button, which has had improved functionality added (sharing on the user’s home instance, sharing on the OP’s home instance, or sharing on the community’s home instance). To open in the browser, you can share and then open in your browser.

      Thanks! I saw the 2.24.1 as latest from droid-ify and missed going back one. Hmm, so we’ve added 2 extra clicks…

      Nevermind only 1 extra tap. Not the end of the world
