I love u/the_picard_maneuver but I don’t love that I can’t just tap their posts to view the image in the browser, have to click the link and leave Lemmy to see them.
You do? Hmm, that’s strange… I’m uploading everything through Lemmy directly and haven’t been hosting off site.
When I switch to my .world account, it doesn’t appear that way to me either. Could anyone more technical take a stab at what might be happening?
No issues for me. Using Memmy.
No issues on Jerboa
Clearing my Firefox cache after adding lemm.ee and startrek.website to my uBlock whitelist fixed the issue. Now I can see your wonderful posts easier!
Great news!!
I assumed it was something to do with lemm.ee’s policy with federating images to protect against CP attacks, since everyone else who says they’re having trouble is also from lemm.ee. I think what they’re doing is just linking to the other instances’ images directly, and maybe startrek.website doesn’t like that?
I can see your lemmy.world account’s posts just fine.
That might be it. On top of not federating images, I know that Lemm.ee has file size restrictions for its users too (to reduce load and keep things fast, I think), so maybe there’s something related to that as well.
Yeah startrek.website doesn’t technically allow hotlinking, which lemm.ee is doing.
The thing is, apps just ignore that hotlink forbiddance, while browsers respect it. And other instances federate images.
