Trying to bring some content to the fediverse by reposting stuff from the interwebs, never OC.

Also trying not to drown OC posters who are here, I’m still in the tweaking phase.

    After reading the comment by @zedgeist@lemmy.zip below, I think I understand where you are coming from. In the web version of this post, it is

    <a href="https://i.redd.it/%E2%80%A6" ><img src="https://media.fedinsfw.app/file/%E2%80%A6"></a>

    so you see an image even though it is a link post, and the server cached a version of the image. Whatever client you are using doesn’t understand that the link is to an image, and doesn’t serve you the cached version either.

    As uploader, I have no option to tell the server that the link is to an image, but it figures that out itself. I’d like to tell the server to drop the reddit link entirely, but ATM, that is not possible either. One day this will be ironed out, but right now, I’d suggest that you skip reddit links, or use a better client. I think piefed has a PWA option, and there was some Voyager mentioned below.

    It’s possible to upload images (or videos) to fedinsfw itself before posting, and I have a working implementation for that locked and loaded, but it comes with limitations (quota and/or limit on the number of uploads, I don’t recall right now) and cumbersome tools for management. So to lighten my load, I decided not to use it, and I don’t care for searching and creating tooling for other media hosters.

    Until piefed improves, the choice you have is hence not Uploads to someplace not reddit, or links to reddit, but links to reddit, or no content here at all. So, be careful what you wish for.
