On iOS. Currently on version 25.0, but I have been seeing this issue on the last several versions.

Sometimes when I load a feed, many images will partially load or not load at all. By partially load, I mean that some portion of the top of the image will load, but the rest will appear black.

When this happens, I cannot get the image to show in the app. Opening the post itself will show the partially loaded image. Refreshing the post will do the same. Going back and picking the feed again will still show the partial images.

If I view the post using the web link, the image usually loads immediately there.

It appears to me that the images become cached by the app and it will not attempt to retrieve the image again.

Do others experience this bug or am I the lucky winner?

I’ve had this exact issue many times already.

I have the same problem that happens somewhat randomly although O haven’t seen it for a while. I also created a post about the same thing and several people had some temporary workarounds: https://lemm.ee/post/1008156

It happens to me as well from time to time. Force quitting seems to make it go away. Some times navigating around within the app makes it go away.

I have a workaround.

  • open the post
  • click the chain icon to open the post in browser
  • click to open the attached image
  • close and go back

This seems to invalidate the cache for a couple of images from the same instance or something. Haven’t studied it in detail. But the problem returns after scrolling a bit.
