Images on Lemmy visible for users from outside? - eviltoast

@Fediverse

I have a question to all of you who have subscribed to Lemmy groups from Fediverse projects that aren’t Lemmy. Who follow Lemmy groups from e.g. #Mastodon, #GlitchSoc, #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #MissKey, what’s still called #CalcKey, #FoundKey, #Mitra, #GoToSocial, #Socialhome, #Friendica etc., but also #kbin. And I sincerely hope that I’m not the only subscriber to this entire group who isn’t on Lemmy.

My question is: If a Lemmy post contains an image or any other media, can you see it?

I’m on #Hubzilla. And when someone posts something with an image in it, I can see the post, but I can’t see the image. When someone posts something with a video in it, I can’t see the video either.

I can see images in comments with no problem. But I can’t see them in posts.

How about you on Mastodon? Or on CalcKey? Or on /kbin? Or elsewhere?

I’m asking and hoping for replies because I need to find out if the issue is on Lemmy’s or on Hubzilla’s side so I can file a bug report.

    • Make sure the community is not on a Lemmy 0.18.0 instance. That version has a federation bug.

    • Visit the community with your Web browser (which is a given since Hubzilla doesn’t have any working client apps).

    • Copy the URL of the community (https://lemmy-instance.tld/c/community) from the address bar.

    • On your Hubzilla instance, go to the Connections page.

    • Click the green + Add button.

    • Paste the copied Lemmy URL into the dialogue that opens then and confirm.

    At least this worked for me.
