    Why are images coming from startrek.website often blank? Including the community icon and everyones profile picture if they are on this instance.

    The post image should be hosted on imgur as it says, but it still won’t load.

      If you are using adblocker try adding @@||startrek.website/pictrs/image/ to your filters and after that do Ctrl + F5 here

      I am not a tech guy by any measure, but as I understand it, it might be related a security option on your browser blocking trackers? For whatever reason .website extensions show up on a lot of spam lists.

      The problem is lemmy still caches the image itself instead of showing the actual image, so in the default UI it’s essentially the same as uploading it to the server unless you click on the imgur link.

      It’s pretty annoying at times that it can’t be disabled since it also screws with all my gifs
