[SOLVED] Lemmy "server error" when pict-rs is not running
There are a few reasons why pict-rs might not be running, upgrades being one of them. At the moment the whole of lemmy UI will crash and burn if it cannot load a site icon. Yes, that little thing. Here’s the github issue....

It’s an opinion article, but I heavily agree with it. It’s really sad that technical decisions are made by chimps who can’t tell the difference between a computer and internet.
