Recently noticed a resurfacing of the image bug that happened back when 0.19.6 was released where random posts with image links wouldn’t be detected as the images they are.
I’ve noticed it happening for several posts on the instance, here’s a few:

- https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/33626225
I’m making this post here though and not in the Github issue since it seems to be affecting only this current instance. I checked and it doesn’t seem like lemmy.ml is affected at all. So in all likelihood it’s probably limited to dbzer0. If anyone else notices this elsewhere pleas feel free to chime in and provide post links (dbzer0 copy, the origins don’t help us since this is a dbzer0 issue).
So it doesn’t seem to be something only affecting dbzer0. As I mentioned elsewhere, it might be a rate limiting situation, where the originating source is preventing instances from caching that image for a thumbnail randomly.
But then wouldn’t Lemmy.ml be impacted as well? They’re still the 4th most active instance
No, by nature rate limits are random. It might just be that the image when received by lemmy.ml happened to not be in the rate limit window. Also this is just speculation on my end. Also I’m using the tesseract frontend (t.lemmy.dbzer0.com) and haven’t noticed this is issue at all
Interesting to see that Tesseract is not impacted
