it's a lemmy bug which happens a lot, and has been reported to them a lot as such; afaik it's a top priority bug fix right now
As someone with a little bit of professional software QA experience, let me say that this is possibly the weirdest bug I've encountered.
Not the worst, there was an MMO that during early development a Player/tester could crash the entire server, deliberately. Just the weirdest.
Two words: "race condition."
One of my favorite server-crashing bugs was from the mid-'90s, before the web existed. Worked on a project to build, well, a mini-Web (though we didn't really know that), a browser-like tool that ran on X-windows. It would let you search through an online library catalog. Everyone on the project sat down together to stress test the search engine. My student employee ran a search that began with a question mark, and it took out the search engine server.
