I just installed tusky, it seems pretty nice so far

Oh I did just find something that doesn't work on it though lol
There was a post with a webp attached & they don't get embedded inline but there's a link to it & that link didn't work in tusky

Seems to be broken as well for media from an instance that your instance doesn't embed media from
That's a bit of a pisser tbh

@lion I mean, it acts off what your instance provides, so if your instance doesn't do it you can't really blame the app.

@NekoEd if I view a post like that from the web there's a (working) link directly to the file on the remote instance though. in tusky there's a link there but it points to some media proxy on this instance which returns a 404. i have no idea if it's down to the instance not providing the correct link or the app not using the correct link 🤷​

@NekoEd actually I realised the images in question were webp too so it wasn't an inter instance policy thing after all, it does just seem to be down to how formats not directly supported by the instance are handled

@lion That would explain why I've seen that once or twice. WebP is such trash.
