Images on Lemmy visible for users from outside?

@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.

@Jupiter Rowland I tried subscribing to a Lemmy group from HZ, didn't work out. What's the trick?

  • 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 /connections]the Connections page.
  • Click the green [hl=#008000] + Add[/hl] button.
  • Paste the copied Lemmy URL into the dialogue that opens then and confirm.


At least this worked for me.

Kbin. Lemmy images come through fine 80-90% of the time, with a rare case that the post will federate fine but utterly forget the image.

@macrophotography started out repeatedly losing the image when they first started federating with kbin.social, but it resolved in a day and still works fine.

Friendica always(?) shows just a link to the original post as the "title" and post text under it. If I go to the title link, of course all displays as it should since I'm now viewing it from a lemmy instance. But no, never seen a picture as part of a #lemmy post in #friendica.

@southsamurai Do you follow single users or whole communities?

For I follow communities. And I can see neither images nor videos.

Sorry if I have to revive this, but Lemmy development claims that everything is working correctly on Lemmy's side, and the error is on Hubzilla's side if media don't federate from Lemmy to Hubzilla.

Now I need to know again which projects have problems showing images or videos from Lemmy, and which don't.

@Juno Rowland Is there an issue on our git already? Or an issue at Lemmy's git, alternatively?

@_jayrope I've filed an issue for Lemmy a while ago, but Nutomic says that Lemmy is working properly, and the issue has to be on Hubzilla's side.

Now I've also filed one for hubzilla-addons, hoping that it has to do with Pubcrawl. If not, I'll have to file it for hubzilla-core again.

@Jupiter Rowland Question is, if Nutomic is gonna work with @Mario Vavti or whomever is ready on this? That would speed up the process to a minor issue i guess.
