I've been noticing more and more broken thumbnails over the last few weeks, but now it seems like things have fully fallen apart. A little over half of the posts have had functional images in recent weeks, but now I've noticed that pretty much none of the posts made within the last 10 hours or so have functional thumbnails. In-instance thumbnails are fine, but now pretty much every other instance's images are broken.

Previous posts in the same vein in this community seem to indicate that it's an issue with other hosts denying lemm.ee access to download images, but surely something can be done, right? It's pretty tedious to click on each post individually if I'm just browsing memes. Is this issue just on my end, or is it broken for everyone? And if it's just me, is there a way to fix it? I've tried clearing the site data from my browser (firefox) to no avail.

A couple screenshots in case it's just on my end: https://imgur.com/a/broken-images-guyVr1n

What options do we have to deal with suspected downvote brigading or voting abuse on lemmy and what do we do to report it

Just starting this week, when I first visit lemm.ee, I used to be logged in auytomatically, every time, but now I have to manually choose to login. My browser (Firefox on Ubuntu) definitely knows my username and password still.

Then, I can click around, go from page to page as I want, but if I hit F5 to refresh the page, or right click and choose the reload icon, I do get the page reloaded, but now I am not logged in.

I've tried disabling my (5) extensions but still saw this issue.

I tried completely erasing my cache in Firefox. Same issue still.

ETA: I tried explicitly logging out and logging back in (again). Same issue still.

This is only happening on lemm.ee.

Any ideas why Lemme doesn't want to keep me logged in?

Thanks!

ETA -- Thursday night: I made sure I am clearing cookies along with the cache. The problem remains. And, as @yogurt@lemm.ee said, the expiration date on the "jwt" cookie lemmee sets does expire in 3023. I installed an extension so I could edit that, set it to 2Dec 13 2025, saved the cookie. But still refreshing the page causes me to be logged out. This is just an annoyance at this point, not a big deal, but some sort of resolution eventually would be great. Thanks for any other ideas.

EDIT: Solved this by adding "English" to my languages in account settings. Solution from a comment by @mp3@lemmy.ca

For some reason I can't see any posts/comments on hexbear or by users from hexbear. I don't have the instance blocked or muted or anything. I can click the communities and bring them up, but they don't show user content. This is specifically only on my account too. It doesn't matter if I'm on an app or on the website. There isn't anything I can find that causes this. I would like to see posts by hexbear users so this is pretty annoying.

I often find embedded images from other instances straight up don't appear, while embedded images from lemm.ee take a really long time to show up (and sometimes don't at all)

For example, the top comment here has an embedded image but it's not showing on lemm.ee: https://lemm.ee/post/38434336

An even weirder thing is that it thinks youtube links are also images, and tries caching them.

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask. But I noticed !adultswim@lemm.ee only has one mod and they appear to be inactive. I can help mod it (rather than have it shut down). Thanks.

On some communities the header image and community logo is broken, e.g. here: https://lemm.ee/c/idm

I'm the mod there, I haven't changed images since I started the community, a year ago. If I click on the Edit community button, I can see both images on the sidebar.

If I comment somewhere and link to external image with the markdown syntax ![](...) images not showing up. This works in post bodies, it only affects comments.

Created a test post here, you can see the image in the first comment is not visible: https://lemm.ee/post/38021843

Hi!

So today, I made three image posts, and all of them have broken thumbnails such as this one

and it seems to be showing up broken for other users too, not just me. I'm uploading images the same as usual and the thumbnails for my older posts were fine.

Is it the linking of the on topic and highly relevant youtube videos?

Am I to find alternative videos to link to every time I discuss electoral reform? That's what I'm getting here. I just want to make sure that's what you want.

And would uploading the same videos with new URLs count as a new link and thus wouldn't be spam? Just trying to figure out the rules here.

Appreciate your time.

Yes, I'm the very same ~~moron~~ person who accidentally deleted his community, then had it restored by our excellent admin / site-runner a month or two ago. Yup!

Now for today's stupid-idiot complaint:

Around June 9th I found that I could no longer display images in comments & posts. The specific problem seemed to stem from some broken code that was being auto-added, namely:

"https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url="

IIRC my co-mod opened a thread on this stuff around a week ago." And... in the words of the kids? "Shizzle's still broke." I.e., the code still doesn't work, and still breaks every attempt to share images.

But sadly, there's more. Namely, it seems that lemm.ee communities are no longer showing up in one of the significant FV search engines, i.e. "lemmyverse.net."

For example, one of our biggest communities here on lemm.ee, i.e. "movies" is now totally missing from the results. So, (currently) every time people look for stuff on search engines like that, lemm.ee communities will be invisible to them.

I thought this was a boost issue, but even using lemm.ee's web site, when browsing to my Nikon subscription (https://lemm.ee/c/nikon@lemmy.world) I don't see any post. If I go to the same community from lemmy.world's own site, I can see recent posts: https://lemmy.world/c/nikon I noticed the same problem in other communities (but I thought the issue was my lemmy client). Can this be fixed?

I used to regularly put images in comments by using ![](). Suddenly that does not work anymore, help!

It stopped working for me (and also another user) a few days ago. Until I post the comment it is fine but when I post it, the url of the image is getting automatically changed into a format that does not work.

Before posting it looks like this:

![](https://i.imgur.com/yFXLOOY.jpg)

However, posting it changes the url into this (non working) url

![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FyFXLOOY.jpg)

I will post the same image as a comment in this thread from two different accounts to illustrate.

How did this suddenly change, I never had problems posting images in comments before?

What can I do to fix this? I like posting images in comments and would be very happy if I could go back to it?

I've observed two issues with certain type of images on lemm.ee.

The first issue relates to external avatars, both user and community. In the Android app Connect they are no longer loading and just show a spinner. Only the avatars of users and communities on lemm.ee itself are loading. It doesn't occur on web. And when using my lemmy.world account in Connect, all external avatars do load correctly. I think this started after the upgrade to 0.19.4.

The second issue is with metadata image, the og:image a page declares. This isn't always shown on lemm.ee. As an example a post I made with my lemm.ee account on a lemmy.world community.

https://lemm.ee/post/31969605 - Next to the title it just shows a generic external link icon.

https://lemmy.world/post/15406863 - Same post but now via lemmy.world shows the image that the target webpage defined as its og:image correctly.

“Failed to mark post as read” errors

I see this error almost every time I open the comments on a post.

My server is lemm.ee. Does it not support the “mark as read” feature?

Hi! So far I've been having a super great time with Lemmy, but I'm a little confused as to why I'm suddenly unable to upload images. I wanted to post an image in an image sharing thread, but whenever I clicked "upload image", I'd get a rotating circle thingy after selecting the picture file I wanted to upload, which would rotate for a few moments then stop, and nothing happened after that. I made sure the picture was under 100kb but no matter how many times I tried, the picture wouldn't upload and no error messages came up.

I went and tried to make an image post rather than an image comment, and a similar thing happened where it'd seem to be uploading and then when it stopped, it gave me an "unexpected token" "json" error, or an error about deadlines. I was previously able to upload pictures just fine as my submission history will show, and Googling didn't offer much insight. Weirdly enough, when I'm logged in the only posts I can see on my profile's post submission history is just my oldest one and none of the others. I can see all the other post submissions I've made when I log out and look at my profile though. Comments seem to be unaffected.

Everyone else in the image sharing thread seemed to be able to upload pictures directly to the thread, rather than just linking them, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've only ever been using the same device (PC) and browser since creating my account. Thanks in advance! 😃

Update!

Thought I'd take some images, I've also noticed that the main Lemmy icon is broken too...

I've tried multiple browsers but the issue persists. There have been no changes to my internet connection.

So I had made a post regarding sorting posts not working, but I have noticed another issue where some communities just don't have some older posts. I have tried both on web and on android app, and it's the same, tweaked some settings too.

Not trying to start anything, and if this is the wrong place to post about it I apologize, I'm not sure where else to broach the topic, but as a user I've noticed an enormous increase is moderator action today and I'm curious if there was some catalyst that the userbase should be aware of. Prior to today, the modlog shows only a few mod actions most days, and previous entire months can fit within one screenview. Furthermore, most of those actions were locking posts or removing and reprimanding specific offending comments. Yet today there is an entire wave of moderator actions, including such vague notes as "Troll Post" on meme posts with significant engagement.

I promise I'm not trying to start drama, I am just concerned as I love Lemmy and want to see it and the community thrive, and I am concerned about the same issues that plague Reddit could potentially find their way here.

That said, I also understand this isn't a democracy, so if the reply is simply "that's how it is," I guess I'm going to just shrug and accept it.

First of all, thanks Ella & crew for clearing up Lemm.ee's recent image-hosting issues! 🤘

Unfortunately, I note that there are still several post images I uploaded here that went missing ~2 months ago and never did get restored. Some examples: [1], [2], [3].

Whatever. I'll just move them over to Imgur.

As a matter of fact, at this point I'd rather just host everything at Imgur so as not to burden LE with images, which can frankly get pretty big at times. But that's where I just now noticed a seemingly big problem with how LE processes image uploads:

  • I noticed that the original 95k community banner which I uploaded a long time ago was turned in to a significantly worse-quality WEBP file at around 250% the size of the original.

  • In my attempt today to completely move the banner over to Imgur, I uploaded a higher-quality link today, then noticed the same issues. Also, it seems the banner file got moved over to LE (against my intent) and bloated to ~440k for you folks. Not what I intended, and seemingly not good.

So to recount: whatever process is currently handling image uploads seems to be 1) needlessly re-saving them as less-efficient WEBP's, 2) reducing their overall quality, and 3) the software is forcing all logo & banner content to be hosted at the local instance rather than offering the choice of being hosted elsewhere.

I am having trouble uploading images to posts from my lemm.ee account. I tried doing the same from a backup lemmy.world account I have, and the images uploaded without issue. When I upload directly from the website, I get the error below:

{"data":{"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://10.0.0.3:8080/image): error trying to connect: tcp connection error: deadline has elapsed"},"state":"success"}

This happens with any image I try to upload, including the screenshot I took of the error I transcribed above. Is there any way to resolve this so I can post images from this instance again?
