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?
The problem is something to do with startrek.website, but it only affects the default UI (Lemmy-UI). I've seen it on a large number of images uploaded on startrek.website but viewed on another instance. It doesn't seem to affect files uploaded to external websites though
I think it's something about HTTP cross-origin headers that they've configured incorrectly. I'll have to confirm later when I'm on a desktop browser.
Edit: It's actually uBlock Origin blocking the images from loading! There's a rule in EasyList that is matching *.website (it's a lot more complicated of a rule, but that's the gist). It blocks it unless it's coming from one of a few whitelisted pages like lemmy.world.
I found a workaround mentioned here: https://lemm.ee/comment/3068996
That's more complex than I understand so I'll take your word lol
All I know is instances have what look to be old links to media that gets fixed whenever you clear cache
Yeah, that's what I suspect too.
Oh interesting... Yeah, I mostly post from Liftoff or Voyager on my phone, so I wouldn't have noticed.
I wonder if the startrek.website admins are aware of the inconsistency.
I think I mentioned it to one of them, but I don't know if they know the extent or if they're just working on it
