FediThing 🏳️‍🌈<p>Does anyone know the terms for traditional in-ear earphones that sit slightly outside your ear canal vs the ones fashionable nowadays that you stick all the way in with foam or rubber caps?

Yazad<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>FediTips</span></a></span>, I’m having a lot of trouble with the mastodon iPhone app where all of a sudden while reading a toot the screen jerks and I’m pushed to 5 or 10 posts down. I have to scroll back up to continue reading what I was before being interrupted. Then it happens again. I’m suspecting this is possibly because some of the posts with links render a preview and causes all posts under it to realign vertically. Is this a known issue?
