Apparently there's supposed to be a link to an image hosted on lemmy.ml. My instance not federating with that one may be why I don't see it. If anyone else was wondering, it's just some random startup advertising their new "AI-focused" OS.
Fedia defeds .ml? That's awesome LMAO
But federation generally doesn't affect links like image links since they're direct URLs instead of federation.
But I also don't know fedia's platform all that well so maybe it does on fedia lol
The image also doesn't load from kbin.earth, which does federate with lemmy.ml. I see this occasionally, and I've considered filing a bug with the mbin folks. It's interesting that it also happens with piefed.
EDIT: I'm dumb, fedia is also mbin.
I have two accounts on pure lemmy servers. The one that doesn't federate with lemmy.ml doesn't display the thumbnail for this post, but coughs up the image if I click where the thumbnail is supposed to be. The one that does federate with lemmy.ml shows both the thumbnail and the image. Someone probably has to put a bit more thought into image propagation and storage for corner cases like this.
