The problem is something to do with startrek.website, but it only affects the default UI (Lemmy-UI). I've seen it on a large number of images uploaded on startrek.website but viewed on another instance. It doesn't seem to affect files uploaded to external websites though
I think it's something about HTTP cross-origin headers that they've configured incorrectly. I'll have to confirm later when I'm on a desktop browser.
Edit: It's actually uBlock Origin blocking the images from loading! There's a rule in EasyList that is matching *.website (it's a lot more complicated of a rule, but that's the gist). It blocks it unless it's coming from one of a few whitelisted pages like lemmy.world.
I found a workaround mentioned here: https://lemm.ee/comment/3068996
That's more complex than I understand so I'll take your word lol
Yeah, that's what I suspect too.
Oh interesting... Yeah, I mostly post from Liftoff or Voyager on my phone, so I wouldn't have noticed.
I wonder if the startrek.website admins are aware of the inconsistency.
I think I mentioned it to one of them, but I don't know if they know the extent or if they're just working on it
