Image flickering bug (lemmy.world)

Hey there, not sure if this is the right place to report bugs with the app... If not, I would be grateful if someone redirected me to the correct place.

The only issue I have with the app since the dawn of lemmy is image flickering whenever I approach the end of the feed. As there are less and less posts left, the flickering intensifies. This applies to post images, community/user icons, URL previews etc.

I'm having this issue on Samsung Galaxy A51, running Android 13 and One UI 5.1, and the latest version of the app (163). Will provide any additional info, if needed.

I've seen Kuro around this community recently, so this is likely a good place.

the latest version of the app

Might be useful to specify the exact version number. Not everyone receives updates at the same time, and future releases will render the "latest" statement false.

Thanks for the info! I've edited the post to include the version number.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! I think this might be related to caching and the app switching from keeping images in memory versus loading from storage. Does this also happen on list views for you? Asking because list view images are much smaller.

Hey, sorry for the delay!

I'm happy to report that after updating to version 166, the issue almost disappeared! Image posts flicker no more!

Only flickering I'm experiencing is with community/user icons, and this does affect all views. But that's such a small bug that I wouldn't consider it as high priority...

(Image posts flickering itself was in my opinion a huge deal, especially for people suffering from epilepsy etc.)

Unfortunately I have to report that after updating to version 169, the issue is back. :/
