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.
This has been a thing in Boost for at least 5 years. The preview is cached, but pulling the full image fails.
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?
Probably possible but most want to see the full image not the small one, especially for art
Ideally, yea. But for simple memes the smaller one is fine. It's so teasing to see a glimps of it and then it going black
I don't think its possible to have both options.
Yeah that's what I've been doing. Thank you
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
