Crash when downloading/sharing images on Boost (lemmy.ml)

Hi Boost folks,

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing crashes when saving images?

I keep going to share funny pictures, and when I share, Boost/Lemmy tries to send an "image proxy", so I hit download (my usual workaround), but as of today Boost crashes. This seems to be the case for any image post.

Is this a thing for anyone else? :)

Edit: no more crashes after clearing Boost's cache, but still curious about sharing images not working 100% :)

Edit 2: clearing cache is needed very regularly to make downloading images work

Seems to work fine for me, although I don't use the image proxy on my instance so that could have something to do with it.

Thank you for this! I did some browsing, and on the back of your note, found the image proxy seems to be instance specific! :)

I didn't know this was a thing that affected it, so that's definitely useful to know. :)
