I’m seeing a lot of blank images when looking at posts from startrek.website through Lemmy-UI, but when I look through Photon/Sync the images are there. It seems to only affect images uploaded directly to startrek.website instead of images uploaded to a separate website. Is there something I can do to fix this on my instance?

    Some of the image stuff for me is just my device caching urls that change, but I don’t know why so many urls are changing

    I’m not getting the failed to vote thing, but maybe that’s because you are using startrek.website as your instance instead of another; probably just timing out because whenever I pull up the site it is always a bit slow to load

      I post a lot, and multiple people on other instances have messaged me this week complaining that our images show up intermittently for them too.

      I don’t know enough about the technical side of lemmy to even hazard a guess though.

        Yeah, all I can tell is that the url of the file on the server seems to be changing and devices are caching the old url. Using a different image hosting service like imgflip/catbox.moe/selfhosted image server for the image uploads would probably solve that problem, but that’s pretty much the extent of my knowledge
