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, or if it’s just Connect, or if it’s something I’m doing?
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.
I have the same problem, same app, though I wouldn’t say it happens too often. Sadly, I have no further insight.
Thanks for responding, all the same!
No
What client are you using?
Infinity for lemmy/eternity
Could you send one of these posts?
Same problem… doesn’t happen on programming.dev

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.
