403 error on every post linking to an external site (thelemmy.club)

Hi all,

I have the weirdest issue with Summit for the last 2 days. Every post with an external link produces a 403. The attached screenshot has an example.

If I copy the url from the error message I can open it just fine in my browser.

  • Summit version 1.73
  • Android version 16

As a temp. workaround, go to Settings > Misc > Client user-agent. Choose "Use test user agent".

    Thanks! Do you know if sth. should be changed on the instance or is it more summit-related?

    Not sure honestly. The issue doesn't seem to happen on other instances so maybe something needs to change on the instance. It looks like they are blocking clients based on user agents and it didn't like Summit's default user agent.

    I was supposed to do some work at some point to figure out the best user agent to use but I have not gotten to it yet.
