Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this, but I’m having trouble receiving the images from this instance on my home instance, this is what Risa looks like for me in the browser and in the app (I use liftoff). I’ve tried the suggestion in the FAQ of disabling adblock/adding a rule, but that doesn’t seem to solve...
The post you’ve linked to (referring to the problem being ‘wacky local caching’) explains some of it.
For example, that “TRUST ME. That TV? It’s Safe” post - the thumbnail is broke for me on feddit.nl, but it points to a valid image (it expands to a full one, and ‘Open Image in New Tab’ will display the thumbnail version.
If, however, I view the community through Private Browsing (aka Incognito Mode), the thumbnail displays correctly.
Oh, well, it might be about the issue that the OP makes in a comment on that post.
For me, the URL of that image is startrek.website/…/ffcc19ac-fb10-4c66-893e-87840b…, which is different from the one in your screenshot.
Viewing feddit.nl/c/risa@startrek.website in Private fixed the thumbnail for me in Normal view, so it suggests it’s a caching issue. Perhaps try to purge your browser’s memory of the community, and see if then comes up with the correct URL.
Wow, yeah. I just viewed Risa from Brave and it’s a wasteland of broken images.
Here’s how I fixed it though: Brave=>Clear Browsing Data=>Tick ‘Cached Images and Files’=>Click ‘Clear Data’. Once I did that, everything loaded normally.
You seem focused on the idea that it’s to do with adblocking or shields, and it’s not - it’s related to caching.
Sorry - I said ‘you seem focused’, when I should have said something to include the other replies in this thread - I just meant there’s a lot of stuff here about adblockers, when you’ve established for yourself that it’s not that, and it’s drowning out the actual answer.
I did expand your spoiler tag - I read that you’d cleared ‘Browsing History’, but that’s a different checkbox than ‘Cached images and files’, so I didn’t know if you’d already done that.
Ultimately, this problem is why instances are usually quite ‘grabby’ when it comes to images that federate across - they tend to make a copy and host it themselves. For whatever reason, feddit.nl isn’t doing that for images on here, and startrek.website isn’t always quick enough to provide it when a page is loaded, so the local cache ends up with a broken image. So clearing the cache and reloading the page will often fix it, but it’s not a 100% solution, and the results will differ by user. I would suggest that the real solution is for startrek.website to upgrade their server, or for its members to host images on a site that is dedicated to serving them.
EDIT: another solution would be to leave feddit.nl, and join startrek.website (depends where you priorities lie, of course)
For the second one, Lemmy has left where it was (on imgflip), but for the first Lemmy has copied it to ls.buckodr.ink/…/859a4fd5-901b-45de-9c6c-81aadb41… (OP’s instance), so it works if you view from there, but doesn’t from viewing from anywhere else (like startrek.website)
I don’t know what the rules are for why Lemmy does or doesn’t copy an image, but the same has happened to me:
Left on catbox.moe: lemmy.world/post/4228270
Copied to Lemmy: lemmy.world/post/4409633
Images from this instance aren't arriving at my instance? (feddit.nl)
