Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Why does Lemmygrad no longer hotlink images? (lemmygrad.ml)

If you set a URL outside of Lemmygrad as an image, it no longer hotlinks the image.

I don't think it's that. Like this image from Reuters served by Cloudflare works:

On the other hand if you try to embed an image served on Reuter's /resizer/ endpoint it won't work embedded since they have some authentication process for it.

I don't think embedded images are being proxied through Lemmy. It's likely the browser trying to fetch the images directly which fails in some cases.

Edit:

Does the image load in my previous comment?

Yeah it does.
