Image proxies are a must have, let's hope we get those soon!
Even without instance proxy, it should easy enough on the client side to not pull remote images unless directed to do so, similar to most email clients these days. At least it gives people a warning that they're passing data to a 3rd party location.
That's pretty stupid for a platform mainly based on images.
Maybe, but on the flip side though, as an instance owner, I don't nessecarily want my node to be in the logs acessing questionable content on behalf of the end user.
Jokes on you! I use a Firefox extension that spoofs my browser profile. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chameleon-ext/
All these people correcting the result effectively giving useful data to improve data collection and detection methods.
Lemmy clients should really include an option to group or only show the first instance of a link for cases like this; where the same link is posted to multiple places.
So what is happening if I don't see an image?
it is because the website providing the image is overloaded and cannot create an image.
You just have to reload the image and eventually you will see one.
