It happens consistently with any mander.xyz community. Errors nearly identical to this:
{"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/original/4083b4bb-ab1d-45cc-9ff0-72280ce5c2ff.jpeg): operation timed out"}
This time it was this image:

It only happens with images. I only browse on mobile, android. I’ve had it happen in Firefox and the boost app, haven’t tried it anywhere else. Let me know if I can provide any other info that will help.
This only happens to me with mander.xyz, and consistently happens every evening with nearly all images. Maybe 1 out of 20 times I’ll get lucky and an image will load. There are too many communities I like here so I haven’t just blocked it yet, hoping it can be fixed eventually. :)
Edit: I did see that other post about broken images but it looked like the error was different from the one I always get so I made a separate post.
Thank you. There was a different error that should have been fixed yesterday (a “too many requests” reply from the object storage provider). But this error is different, and I am not sure yet why it happens. I will change some settings that could have an effect. Please let me know if it happens again!
I have changed rate limits / timeouts that I can control, but I still see that this happens when I clear my browser cache and load the front page. I agree that it is quite bothersome. I will need to dive deeper and get in touch with the object store provider again.
I’ve gotten that from mander a lot too, and a couple of other hosting sites that I’ve never heard of. A different site returned a similar error but it said “too many requests.” This is led me to believe that there are people sharing pictures that are hosted on smaller sites that just can’t handle the traffic, and that those people should stop linking pictures and start uploading them instead. I mean that’ll never happen because people just don’t bother, and I may even be wrong on my hypothesis, but there you go.
