Open it external, when this happens the image is either deleted or in some weird weird format its basically the image 404

It’s weird that using other apps this doesn’t happen, only on connect.

Do the other apps just display you the preview? Cause when the image source is deleted, its not there.

Not sure. I know in connect the information is there and sharp enough as i sometimes back-and-forth to read elements of a meme. If that snapshot is there, why not serve it up and have it linger if it detects a deleted image?

This has been a thing in Boost for at least 5 years. The preview is cached, but pulling the full image fails.

The image you get to see is a preview saved on your instance (just so you know)

Looks like Pong.

Could you link me to a post where this is happening? I’ll take a look. As others have said it probably is the thumbnail resolving but the full image failing.

It doesn’t seem to happen often anymore, when I made the post it happened quite a bit. Here’s one from today https://lemmy.world/post/17791525 this one works when I open external. This one happens to be an Imgr image, that’s not usually the case. Sometimes the picture doesn’t come up when I click open external, I assume that because it was removed. Thanks for your interest, I’ll provide more examples when I find them
