Niche problem:
On mobile on the TOR site I am unable to see any videos posted (No supported format and MIME type found error), and need to click on the links to view images.

This problem does not happen with desktop on tor or on mobile on clearnet.
Any tips?

I am using orbot, so its the same exact browser on clearnet and tor.

Still having this problem.
Should add some info since I realize now I gave hardly any:
- TOR mobile attachments and videos stopped working around when kiwifarms.st went live.
- I cleared cache and all site data, no change.
- Using firefox, consistently updated, but no issues with clearnet site.
- Disabling script blocking/ad blocking/tracker blocking completely has no effect.
- I have an Android device.

What could have changed the TOR version of the site during the switch from pl to st? Seems like it was in domain name only, and completely unrelated.
The mime type issue seems related to video metadata?
I would pin this on cruddy mobile browser, if it wasn't for the fact that kiwifarms.st works and TOR used to work until what seems like an event where a lot of things might get broken.

I am noticing collateral damage from the latest DDoS attack. Mild powerlevel, but my internet access is provided via a cell phone tether to a nearby tower controlled by the AT&T corporation. I connect to the kiwifarms via that tower, and a TOR Circuit to the the Onion version of the Farms.

The latest DDoS attack has caused noticeable drag on my connection to the tower. Including clear net communication off the onion browser. Drag that goes away provided I disconnect the TOR circuit.

How can I prove conclusively that whatever spam is coming in over the TOR circuit is directly attacking my contractually allowed connection to the AT&T cell phone tower. I need some way to prove this, and if I can I will 100% phone both AT&T and my county Sheriff.

Oh and the Sheriff will take me seriously by the way. Those towers are the only way anyone can connect to anything out here. If someone is fucking with them and I can show it, I can probably make such an unholy stink the stench will reach from the east coast all the way to whatever west coast hell hole the latest attack originated from.

I just have no idea how I can talk to my computer in a way that it can give me the data I need. I have perfectly anecdotal evidence of the DDoS attacks messing with my access to the AT&T Tower. But I can't prove it beyond a gut feeling.

This is not how a Tor circuit works, unless you are running a middle or exit node on the cell network. If you are just running a Tor client, there is no other traffic running, only your own traffic. If the Farms get DDoS'ed, you just can't get on the farms, there is not traffic passing over the cell tower.

Except, if you decided to run a middle node on your phone or whatever is connected to the cell tower, you might be in the middle of the circuit for someone else. But that's not a default setting in any Tor client, to relay traffic for other nodes. You just connect out to nodes, no one connects back to your phone in the default mode. Not to be a dick, but just reading your post, I am doubting you are running a middle or exit node on your phone. I am not even sure if that will work on a normal AT&T data plan, last time I used them all incoming connections were blocked anyways.

Very minor gripe: name changes seem to get lost in the ether. I'm happy to make fun of Nick Rekieta but since he started getting more and more cringe I'd like to go back to something else.

Also, if I try to upload a too-big gif I got a silent failure, no feedback to the user, no clue if it was filesize or resolution. I can try again and F12 it if you need me to.
 
I saw someone talking about avatars and other stupid shit which clued me in that themes other than the stealth one were available. I've been stuck using stealth since the most recent bout of domain snatching started and we went TOR only for a month or more. I have no options at all to change the theme on the kiwifarms.st domain and the prior kiwifarms.pl domain. But I figured out that I can force a change by logging into the TOR site, setting it to the normal Kiwifarms theme and it will carry over to the clearnet domain. I don't know if this is intentional or not, certainly is a lot more bandwidth friendly when you're not rendering avatars and backgrounds every refresh.

I cannot react to posts with drink or achievement. Is this a purposeful feature to limit them being used in reacts?
I get this every time I try to use one of them

Drink is reserved for True & Honest Fans, and Achievements are strictly reserved for Null, if I recall correctly. Before the whole Cloudflare thing happened only those with permissions could see them.

I have a weird issue on my phone where the whole site is super white. This issue does not occur with the Desktop site.

It’s not even the “stealthy” theme either.

Using Brave, tried clearing catche (didn’t help). The issue does not appear in any other website

Could it be because of dark mode?

I disabled it after noticing that it made the red background on the .pl logo appear black, and not red
