    Hello. I can explain. At some recent time, Lemmy.zip started to proxy images as AVIF files. AVIF files currently are not well supported on Android (not sure about iOS) so a lot of images fail to load using the Android built-in decoder. Usually the browser is fine because it uses a custom decoder. (Actually for this particular image, even Chrome is having a hard time on my end)

    But yeah, this is a problem with lemmy.zip and not any of the other instances.


  • Is it easy to reproduce? Is it specific to certain posts? If so can you link to the posts?

    Edit: oh I noticed you are on Lemmy.zip. that instance appears to proxy images as AVIF files. So even if you are viewing a “jpg” file, your instance might be converting it to AVIF.

    Here is an example of an image proxied by lemmy.zip. you can see the final file type is avif. The original image was WEBP.
