Short triggers not working on PC

Hi! New Espanso user here, so I'm pretty sure this is user error of some type.

I got it set up on my Mac just fine, customized the triggers and everything. Then I installed on my PC, and replaced the base.yml file with a copy of the one I had edited on my Mac (so that the triggers would all be the same). But the behavior is nowhere near as smooth.

I've gotten some longer multiline ones to work (although it brings up the annoying Windows clipboard history window, which I'd rather avoid altogether if possible), but short, single line triggers seem to fire successfully (i.e. the trigger itself gets deleted) and then get replaced with two spaces rather than what is written into the base.yml file.

I've tried:

  • Running as administrator
  • Using clipboard and inject backend settings
  • Adding an inject delay
  • Upping the clipboard threshold

Trying to filter or remove Twitter screenshots

Hi everyone!

So my sub rolled out a ban on Twitter/X links a while back, as did many. This has mostly been fine, but a side effect has been that people now occasionally will post a screenshot of a Twitter post as a news item rather than linking to actual news reporting. I’d like to stop this, or at least make it very annoying to do.

My initial idea was to try and use OCR and AutoMod but that isn’t possible (and the third-party bot is no longer supported).

Next, I learned about media checks, but it sounds like those are also not working anymore.

Short of vibecoding my first Devvit app (not something I really want to do), does anyone have any ideas about how I could catch offending image posts without disallowing all image posts?
