That's super strange.. does it even look like this if you open through incognito/private browsing mode?

Also, could you possibly share a screenshot of what is in your browser dev tools console?

I am suffering from the same issue. I opened my browser's devtools and noticed https://lemm.ee/static/e20bfa7/js/client.js is returning 404. So I turned on my VPN into a random other country (I chose Norway), and the issue stopped. Could it be that your CDN is not serving the client.js in some parts of the world?

I have purged my CDN, could I ask you to check if it's still 404 with your original config?

I can confirm it works without a VPN now from my location :). Thank you!

Yes.. Switching VPN servers fixed the issue for me. @sunaurus@lemm.ee. The trouble I was seeing was on Mullvad Portugal server.

Repeating the other comment just so you get a notification, sorry if you already saw it above:

It is working correctly now with the original config in all cases. Problem has been fixed. Thank you!

I have tested it on 3 browsers, one of which is incognito. I also tested it on 2 mobile browsers, one of which is incognito. Same thing in all cases.
