[Bug]: Images not being rendered properly after 0.19.6 upgrade · Issue #5196 · LemmyNet/lemmy

Requirements Is this a bug report? For questions or discussions use https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support Did you check to see if this issue already exists? Is this only a single bug? Do not put multipl...

Lemmy’s 0.19.6 introduces some bug fixes but it also introduced a nasty bug which breaks image rendering in many posts See here and since this instance hosts a lot of image based content it would probably be a good idea for us to hold off on upgrading until this is fixed. I do not know yet if this bug will apply retroactively, as in, if all posts made or affected by this will be fixed once a fix rolls out or if they’ll be screwed up forever or until editing or re-posting.

I encourage people in instances which have not updated yet to cross-post this to their instance’s meta community or ping their instance admins to let them know.

    This doesn’t look like a Lemmy issue, the image host is incorrectly reporting an image as an octet-stream. You can’t even trust the file extension, because that image isn’t even a jpeg.

$ file 00091-28-1440-864-2024-11-02-0.7.jpeg

      i love this kind of thing, why bother doing your sole job correctly? fuck it, this png image is a word document, who cares! also we’re delivering it as a binary blob so you have to use clientside js to unpack it.
