Toot

What’s responsible for fetching images from fediverse posts? Is it my instance or is the client/app reaching out to the origin instance directly?

See a few posts where the images take a long time to download and I get a grey box even when on the home wifi (ice cubes in iOS)

@Dragon your instance fetches it from the original instance, your client fetches from your instance

Tho that could probably be different per fediverse software - but I don't know any doing it differently

@littlefox mines mastodon hosted my mastohost, I think their object storage is sometimes a bit sluggish to respond

@Dragon @littlefox

It depends also on cache settings as there's little sense in holding on to every image for months, or even that many hours given speed of updates.
