Attempting to create a post with a title of “0! = 1” causes lemmy to stall, with the create post button remaining as a little spinning circle and no error messages.

This is not ideal?

    invalid_post_title error on Memmy on iOS. Seems the error isn’t being handled properly on the web interface. Why it’s an invalid title is the real mystery I suppose.

      lemmy-ui is still pretty bad about presenting spinning graphics when encountering an error. As for why the title isn’t rejected, maybe it’s too short, I don’t know the length minimum.

        I think you’re on to something. I think the title doesn’t have enough characters in it of the right sort. These three post titles were rejected:

        R

        =

        ==

        I was able to make a post titled “===“.

        The only conclusion that can be drawn is lemmy is discriminatory against math. Disgusting.
