As the title says, some images load for half a second, then turn into a white "broken image" icon. If you then tell connect to "open external" it opens the image in a web browser, and that works just fine.

It's just the weirdest thing. The image loads, you see it for a split second before it changes. This happens frequently enough to be annoying. I'm not sure if it's just a certain file type or what. Maybe it's webp's?

Here's an example post that is doing it for me: https://lemmy.zip/post/8235310

Hi, thanks for the feedback! I've pushed a possible fix in ver164 on the beta channel.

now it seems links doesn't open anymore like it used to. if I click on the image of a post it used to open link.

[-] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

I'll take a look! Is this for all images or specific images? What happens when you open an image?

Thanks, it's when I click the thumbnail for a post that is a link to it opens the image instead of opening the link as it used to.

Edit: it's on a tablet if it makes a difference

Ok thank you that is helpful. I think I see what's going on (this is the breaking image https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/aa9afd51-0d2e-492e-b485-74e9d0a852c2.webp?format=webp but this works https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/aa9afd51-0d2e-492e-b485-74e9d0a852c2.webp so I'm guessing Pictrs doesn't like when I'm specifying the webp format on images already in that format). Should be fixed in the next release (tomorrow).

I used to have this problem occasionally now it happens frequently. When I try opening it externally I get a bunch of html gobbledygook

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !memes@lemmy.world

[-] ITypeWithMyDick@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Same, Im following to see any answers

[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
