hilarious bug
This is related to this bug: https://github.com/Memmy-App/memmy/issues/170
I guess what I need to do is completely filter out anything that is local. Super weird issue and frankly annoying that they can even be posted to Lemmy.
To test this, visit my profile and hit “Posts”. I posted something in /c/test with an internal IP for reference.
Edit: We’ll add some information to the dialog asking you to deny the permission and I’ll do my best to filter these out so it doesn’t pop up at all.
Edit: Fixed this now. See these commits for changes:

Thank you for the explanation and transparency
Weird, I’ve not had that permission request. Not sure why Memmy would want / need it either 🤔
Is it related to trying to share content via AirDrop or AirPlay somehow? Only reasons I can think of offhand.
Just happens if some weirdos post local ip addresses on lemmy. gk explained above.
I thought people were saying that bug had been fixed though. So it may be a different bug?
Its fixed but the version is not yet released. The changes have been made to the code though.
Awesome! Good to know!
