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.

    Usually, this is caused by external servers blocking the lemm.ee server from downloading images. This is happening surprisingly regularly, I’m not sure if there’s a good fix for this…

    The YouTube thing does indeed appear to be a bug, I will look into that separately. Thanks for reporting!
