It’s been a while now that I’m having issues on the Lemmy server, images poster by people outside of the instance (pawb.social) aren’t loading.


As shown in the screenshot.

When I use a different instance to look at the images, they do show.


As a response to my comment suggested, I don’t seem to be the only one having this issue. I’m wondering if the moderators are aware of this issue or if it’s an issue on my end, in which case, what should I do to fix it ?

    From what I know, when you create a post and put in a link you have to wait a bit for it to generate a thumbnail like this. If you submit the post before it generated the thumbnail fully or without it having generated a thumbnail at all, then the post will not show a thumbnail.

    At least that’s how it was in the browser when I posted things a few years ago. Maybe pawb social servers were too slow with loading the image and people created the posts without thumbnail preview or maybe some lemmy apps circumvent this thumbnail generation when creating posts.

        I meant the embed picture that gets generated. Pretty sure it needs to be generated before posting.

        Edit: this is what I mean, when I create a post with my browser and I select an image (or paste link), there’s an embed of the image (the fen picture here). Sometimes that embed does not load and then the post does not have an embed.

    I’m also having that issue, with a completely different tech stack (Desktop Linux, Firefox), so I doubt it’s a userspace issue.
