Federated image links to non-lemmy websites sometimes show up as image_proxy links from the poster’s instance. This is a really annoying issue that results in misleading domains showing up next to posts as well as breaking image display in the post itself.
that is not directly a mlmym issue, it’s that people copy links on instances with image proxying enabled and use them in new posts :|
feel free to also raise them as issues on the repo directly to have them documented.
by the way, we run the version on the main branch on https://mlmym-unstable.lemmy.world/, although it does have a domain lock to lemmy.world.
Hmm. That doesn’t really mesh with my understand of how certain prolific posters post (e.g. via automation), but digging into it a bit more, I do see the proxy link via Lemmy-UI even on the poster’s instance, so there’s something besides just mlmym involved here – whether that really is inappropriate copy-pasting or a lemmy bug or what, I don’t know yet.
Regardless, the fact that the image doesn’t load in the post at all for those links seems like an mlmym bug that should be addressed; it’s loadable via Lemmy-UI.
I’ve set up a new GitHub account for association with my lemmy account and will create issues on your repo in a little while.

Edit – Issue links for future reference:
and just now there has been a PR merged in the upstream repo after i spent some time to get a fork properly set up…
