I'm asking this here because it looks like a very weird feddit.uk specific issue.

If I post a URL for cdn.bsky.app to an image, it shows up fine on the default web UI.

On the app I use (Connect) it only ever shows up as a link.

"But!", I hear you cry, "surely that's an app problem?"

You'd think so, and I thought so, but it is only happening on feddit.uk. If I switch to a different account on a different instance, they display as expected. It also doesn't matter which instance they were originally posted to, as I've just seen an image from bsky that I posted on feddit.uk, and that has the same problem.

Any ideas? This has been bugging me for weeks.

This is a bit odd. From my feddit.uk account (this one) I get the above for posts on [email protected].

If I log into the account they were posted with (this is my bot) on lemmings.world they display as expected:

If I log back in as myself on feddit.uk website, the images also display as expected (Connect doesn't seem to want to upload this one, but you'll see it without logging in at feddit.uk/c/[email protected]).

What's different?

Even when it is displayed "as expected" as you put it, it seems to be displaying a thumbnail preview of the website rather than embedding the image directly. I'm experiencing a similar problem in Thunder.
