      I think it’s because all of their images require a cloudfare check.

          Images are now explicitly bypassing the cloudflare challenge, so it won’t be this.

          Most likely, those two apps don’t support AVIF images. Having checked them out, Eternity is abandoned and Sync is not confirmed abandoned but the community thinks it is, and it hasn’t been updated in over a year, so likely these apps shouldn’t be used anyway!

          Edit: Sync is abandoned too. relevant links:

              Huh I didn’t think I was going to cause people to check stuff I just felt like grumbling but ya it’s not like it only happens here so I might as well bug them

            I’m primarily using Alexandrite, though, which is just a frontend running through the browser, Firefox in my case.

              AVIF images seem to work fine on Alexandrite, i’ve tested on a.lemmy.zip, a.lemmy.world, and alexandrite.app, which all load the thumbnail. If you’re hitting a cloudflare challenge to view images still, I’d be keen to check that out further as the challenge should bypass images.
