Open it external, when this happens the image is either deleted or in some weird weird format its basically the image 404

It's weird that using other apps this doesn't happen, only on connect.

This has been a thing in Boost for at least 5 years. The preview is cached, but pulling the full image fails.

Do the other apps just display you the preview? Cause when the image source is deleted, its not there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not sure. I know in connect the information is there and sharp enough as i sometimes back-and-forth to read elements of a meme. If that snapshot is there, why not serve it up and have it linger if it detects a deleted image?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably possible but most want to see the full image not the small one, especially for art

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ideally, yea. But for simple memes the smaller one is fine. It's so teasing to see a glimps of it and then it going black

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I don't think its possible to have both options.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah that's what I've been doing. Thank you

The image you get to see is a preview saved on your instance (just so you know)
