in my experience the lightbox *does* close when you click outside the image, it just is bugged to not work in the left and right margins of the max site width. i opened a new report about it here. this is the root of all my woes with the back button etc on this site i think
Cohost's current lightbox behavior itself seems pretty backwards, too. On other websites, it's fairly common to close the lightbox by either clicking outside the picture, or on a dedicated X button. On Cohost, the lightbox only closes when I click the picture or its description.
been meaning to make a post about this. really glad to see i'm not the first to have this issue
+1 i'm still running into this constantly
it's not even a "native app" thing, this is also just how image lightboxes work on basically any website i know of
