It's weird that using other apps this doesn't happen, only on connect.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

This has been a thing in Boost for at least 5 years. The preview is cached, but pulling the full image fails.

Do the other apps just display you the preview? Cause when the image source is deleted, its not there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not sure. I know in connect the information is there and sharp enough as i sometimes back-and-forth to read elements of a meme. If that snapshot is there, why not serve it up and have it linger if it detects a deleted image?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Probably possible but most want to see the full image not the small one, especially for art

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ideally, yea. But for simple memes the smaller one is fine. It's so teasing to see a glimps of it and then it going black

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I don't think its possible to have both options.
