I don’t know what you’re suggesting is going on here, those images you linked don’t work as far as I can tell. Firefox throws a security certificate error. Are you hosting them yourself and collecting IP addresses from people who click on them? If so, that’s not exactly a Lemmy-specific flaw. That’s just basic Internet 101.
Ugh… Why would you do that?
Can someone tell me fhat was this post about?
I block off-site images. It gives a kind of interesting view into how my instance is handling things: Many comment/post images show up as blank placeholders, but some do render, letting me know that my local admins are either caching or proxying them. It’s mostly recent ones that show up, so I assume it’s a cache.

How would an image know what the person’s lemmy username is? I assume it can’t directly know that?

This is fixed with Lemmy 0.19.4/5 on instances that have the new image proxy enabled.

Are you sure? Because it looks like lemmy.ml has the new image proxy enabled. Maybe you tested lemmy.world, which is still on Lemmy version 0.19.3?

Here on our instance with image proxy enabled it works as expected, your images are proxied and only show the IP of our server. This is true for both posts and comments.

That’s why you use a VPN/proxy everytime everywhere, not to sound too paranoid.
