image to make my point. If I make an image post from blahaj (using the lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone app) it shows up as a link to an external source on the official app^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41085392], alexandrite^[https://alx.lemmy.blahaj.zone/lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41085392] and blorp^[https://blorp.blahaj.zone/home/c/main%40lemmy.blahaj.zone/posts/https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.blahaj.zone%2Fpost%2F41085392], i. e. it doesn't embed. It looks normal everywhere else, i. e. from federated instances using the official web app^[https://lemmy.ml/post/45728815], and from the other web apps hosted locally^[https://phtn.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/lemmy.blahaj.zone/41085392] ^[https://mlmym.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41085392] ^[https://tes.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/lemmy.blahaj.zone/41085392].
Also alt text gets swallowed. It apparently doesn't federate, I can see it when I click on edit, the box is prefilled with "I am beanis cupcake and I will eat you" but this alt-text doesnt show up when looking at this post from a federated instance. It does show up on local frontends that implement this functionality.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Lemmy UI has issues due to the Lemmy Devs messing with Lemmy UI to check if image posts are really images instead of just rendering them as images if they end with an image extension. Which is extremely dumb in my opinion, any app for Lemmy will try to render a .png or .webp link as an image even if it's a broken image. There's no point in doing other funny checks, it just makes image posts render weird as non-image posts. I would suggest making another issue about this on Lemmy-UI's github and be way more resistant towards Dessalines about doing it his specific way, because his way sucks and we never had problems like this before he introduced code to Lemmy-UI to invalidate Image posts from being images for... whatever reason he did it.
but I hate gh I dont wanna login there and go thrugh all that effort 😭 can I just tag @dessalines@lemmy.ml here?
