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

    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: [email protected]
