Thumbnail Preview Links Broken? (lemm.ee)

Link previews seem to be broken since upgrade. As you can see this isn't from all instances so is this a federation issue or an upgrade issue?

For what it's worth I get the same experience in Voyager app on Android as well as web-ui.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

I have identified two reasons for broken thumbnails right now:

For some, the source website is simply not allowing our server to download the image (mostly due to server issues on the remote side)
For others, it seems that some types of URLs are breaking thumbnail generation. I think I found the bug here and will try to submit a fix soon.

ApNews seems to be one of the worst offenders.

hi, can that also be related to image proxy, that automatically tries to replace image links, not working?

Awesome news, thanks for taking the time to investigate and,hopefully, resolve.

Are you using the default UI ? In my experience it seems to be the one with no to minimal breakage .

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I've tried with standard WebUI , Voyager android app and next.

This only appears to be happening with my lemm.ee account I have an account on another instance and that's fine. 🤔

New here? That's the state 50% of the time or more, if the site loads at all...

I call bull that isn't true at all, yes there are some breakage but somewhere like 3% - 5% and definetly not frickin 50% and if some new release did do that we tend to get quick fixes fast .

No, and in last 9 months I've rarely seen weblink preview broken
