Images in cards seem to work fine, but when clicked to open in fullscreen it loads with a black screen and just stays black.

Has anyone encountered such behaviour?


EDIT:
I don't seem to be able to open images in external browser, it always opens in apps internal browser. I do have external browser selected as default.
I do suspect that it's the lemmy.zip image proxy quirk. The app seems to read that as a lemmy link despite me selecting external browser for the image.

Yes, I have. I have no issues with JPGs or PNGs but any other format is a gamble. If you have a recent post you can get to to check, maybe you can add what format that image was (or add the link to the post with the image if you're okay with that)?

It might be my instance issue then. There seems to be some image proxy being used. Maybe it messes up the format the app deduces…

Lets see how this works, it doesn't open for me.

It's working for me. Can you link to the post instead of the picture?

It's basically every post. I posted a link to the image, because my instance has this image proxy so all images seem to go through that. It seemed more relevant.


EDIT:
I just found an image that works. Those are rare tho… Here's the link.

I also have that problem. I find clicking the link icon on the bottom usually displays the image as a workaround

I've found that to work as well. Recently it feels like there's way more such images.

It's all those avif images on your instance.
