Question is the same as the post title. I’m using Connect on mobile and very often I’ll click on a thumbnail for an image, the post will open and the image will appear briefly before turning into a broken link. Just wondering if it’s something specific to Lemmy, if it’s just Connect, or if it’s something I’m doing?
Same problem… doesn’t happen on programming.dev
I have the same problem, same app, though I wouldn’t say it happens too often. Sadly, I have no further insight.
It’s probably cached somewhere as a thumbnail, but has been removed. When you go to load the full version it notices the link is dead.
Is that a function of Lemmy, or just federated links, I wonder.
Yes, I have the same problem occasionally on Connect. Not sure what’s going on, but the image is obviously there because it displays it briefly before taking it away.
Exactly. Sometimes I can get it to load if I try opening it it a few times… But not that often.
I have it happen with some image posts, and if I turn off my VPN it loads fine. Suspect the host doesn’t like NordVPN.
Huh. Are you using Connect, or something else?
Yup, connect.
No
What client are you using?
Infinity for lemmy/eternity
Could you send one of these posts?
