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

I'm still getting the image proxy issue but no crashes on this end

Have you found any work arounds for the image proxy issue?

Nope. It looks instance-specific though

Is this specific to boost?

Thank you! :) that's really good to know - the crashes stopped with clearing the cache, but I didn't know if the image proxy was normal/widespread.
