An odd issue. I've noticed that while on lemmy.ca some thumbnails seem to show up but way less than when directly on other lemmy instances, even when in the same community.

Is there some issue here? Or maybe some setting to show or not show thumbnails, either in the instance software or in the user settings?

that's a good question. i was comparing the following:

https://lemmy.ca/c/canada
https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

it seems only the sh.itjust.works instance has some thumbnails, ours and .world don't. strange. i'll will poke around the logs and other communities to see if i can figure anything out.

Yup, that seems to coincide with what I noticed. Some instances have few thumbnails, some have a few more, and others seem to have quite a bit of them. It's odd considering they're all running the same software and version.

I'll be interested in hearing what you find out, if anything.

I noticed the same thing between lemmy.world and lemme.ee. No idea why..

Only thing that I can think of is that the instance did not have the time yet to download the thumb before you came across the post.

Could be, but some of the posts are hours or days old, and thumbnails seem to show up fine in other instances but not in lemmy.ca.
