Hmm, I wasn’t able to reproduce this, but it might depend on the image/your connection/whatever else. @feddit-admin@feddit.online is likely going to have much more insight since they manage the infrastructure.

If I had to guess, this is happening when the server fails to fetch the image. The image icon next to the title is there whenever piefed thinks the url is pointing to an image, but at a base level, remote image posts are just a special case of a link post. If this also happened to local image posts where somebody uploaded an image, that would be a sign of some kind of misconfiguration.

As for why the image fetching might be failing, it’s hard to say. Sometimes sites just block any kind of cloud provider IP ranges as a blunt tool to stop scrapers.

Should work now!

On the topic of NWSL benefiting from World Cup viewership, I can at least offer my anecdotal story. I have been a long-time fan of the sport and watched tons of (mostly) La Liga back when I was in grad school (early 2010’s). However, since then, I haven’t had much time/access to watch.

I picked up a YouTube TV sub to watch the world cup and decided to just stick with it for now. Originally, my intention was to keep up with the Revs/MLS, but found that the NWSL is actually way more available to watch compared to the MLS since I don’t have an Apple TV subscription as well.

rumble.com is a banned domain but is unbannable if you want. It looks like it is part of the list that is imported at instance creation. I don’t know the first thing about rumble as a site, but that is why the post isn’t working.

FWIW, even as a feddit.online admin, I don’t see any comments on that post and it is showing two in the post teaser.

Alright, you sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I learned something about PieFed today because of it. Apparently, the downvote button isn’t shown for a number of reasons, but in your case the reason it isn’t shown is because users with a total “reputation” (upvotes received - downvotes received) that is too low lose the ability to downvote. Your reputation is currently too low for the downvote button right now.

Reputation as a metric is intentionally something that a user is unable to see. That is reserved for admins to help identify potentially toxic users. My guess as for the intention of a feature like this is to limit the spread of negative influence that a (potentially) toxic user can cause from extensive downvoting.

As far as I can tell, the only other feature that you are locked out of with a low reputation like this is the ability to send private messages (definitely a spam/toxicity measure). Other than that, your account is fully featured.

I see now. I will try to take a look into the code and see what could be the issue.

What options are you looking for? Controlling what downvotes to accept is not done at an individual level, it is either done instance-wide (blahaj disables downvotes for example), or at a community level by the community mods. This is the list of options that is available to them for their community:
