Hi,

I'm comparing Lemmy Android app clients and I'm between Thunder and Voyager.

I noticed something weird with Voyager. There is this post it displays an image in the timeline using Thunder but it doesn't in Voyager.

Is it some configuration that I need to tweak in Voyager?

Also, is there some config to display short text about the post if has image? Like some description below if available

Thanks

One of Thunder’s settings is to “Scrape Missing Link Previews.” I’m not a developer, and not too savvy when it comes to this stuff, but just throwing that info out there in case it has anything to do with OP’s question.

Hmmm. So the app is making a request to the website by passively scrolling through the feed? That seems pretty bad for security/privacy reasons. I'd much rather see the missing thumbnail scraping fixed in Lemmy. And then it will work in all apps, and not have privacy issues.

Edit: I made an issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4468

It seems that what first was a Voyager question became a Thunder investigation. I'll ask in the Thunder community what is happening here.
