No, it’s the website you linked (yarn.co) that uses cloudflare protection (against bots, DDoS attacks etc). When it detects any traffic it deems unusual, it shows a captcha that the visitor needs to click before being able to view the image. It can’t display a captcha when you’ve embedded the image into a Lemmy post though, so the image just won’t load at all in that case.
I guess not everyone’s traffic is being deemed unusual/suspicious. There are many deciding factors that cloudflare could use to differentiate from “normal” traffic, such as location, browser, OS, VPN usage etc.
