lemmy.world is a victim of an XSS attack right now and the hacker simply injected a JavaScript redirection into the sidebar. It appears the Lemmy backend does not escape HTML in the main sidebar. Not sure if this is also true for community sidebars. [https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/707c0f16-3d5c-4888-b865-34228d968ee6.png]

    That didn’t work, but I have solved it. I had to take the emoji out of my display name. No idea why that has any impact, but it did.

        I’ve been playing around and it’s only some emojis it has a problem with. Your bagels are safe.

          The 2FA system might just be prejudiced against birds. I tried putting it back in after it was set up and it won’t save my settings if the emoji is there. It’s very weird.

              It won’t let me put it anywhere in the field. A bagel or a smiley face are find, but I can’t do the bird, or a black cat. It might be something to do with the specific emoji - both the black bird and cat are a standard bird/cat paired with a black square which display as a single emoji on some systems.

                At a guess your emoji is part of a a newer unicode table and something in the lemmy backend has an older version that doesn’t include it.
