Report a bug

Report typos, display issues, or other unexpected bebaviour, or fix it yourself.

Step 1: Search for similar bugs

A quick search can yield similar bug and avoid opening duplicates. Take a minute or two to search our issue tracker for recent bug reports that could match yours, but don't worry if you open a duplicate: a contributor will handle it :)

If you find a similar bug report, you can comment on this one instead of creating a new one.

If you are unsure about submitting a bug report or have other general tech questions, you can also start a thread in the support topic on our forum, or ask us on our Fediverse account.
