Looks like your home instance hexbear.net is filtering external images.

Cool, didn’t know some Lemmy instances did this

This is possible because Lemmy doesn’t proxy external images but instead loads them directly. While not all that bad, this could be used for Spy pixels by nefarious posters and commenters.

Note, that the only thing that I willingly log is the “hit count” visible in the image, and I have no intention to misuse the data.

I’ve also started working on my own Lemmy app (in NativeScript). Maybe we should all create a community to share insights.

It appears to have worked
