Crash when downloading/sharing images on Boost (lemmy.ml)

Hi Boost folks,

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing crashes when saving images?

I keep going to share funny pictures, and when I share, Boost/Lemmy tries to send an "image proxy", so I hit download (my usual workaround), but as of today Boost crashes. This seems to be the case for any image post.

Is this a thing for anyone else? :)

Edit: no more crashes after clearing Boost's cache, but still curious about sharing images not working 100% :)

Edit 2: clearing cache is needed very regularly to make downloading images work

late edit: fixed in newest boost! :) thank you! :)

Have you found any work arounds for the image proxy issue?

Nope. It looks instance-specific though

Is this specific to boost?
