Comment on Thumbnail Preview Links Broken?

It’s possible what you are seeing is more visible than before due to issue #2433 which is:
When images are broken, a blank space is all that is shown. A fallback image for broken images would make this more apparent.
With the 0.19.4 update I notice it a lot more now and see a lot from apnews.com causing this, on my Subscribed view with news@lemmy.world and world@lemmy.world (and others) this morning I count:
- 3x missing from apnews.com
- 2x missing from www.theguardian.com
- 1x missing from www.aljazeera.com
- 2x “link-icon only” to www.reuters.com
Sites that are fine: www.cnbc.com, www.nbcnews.com, www.bbc.com, www.cbsnews.com, newrepublic.com and a bunch of fediverse instances and other “not mainstream” sites from around the internet. it would appear that whatever has changed in code is interacting badly with certain mainstream news sites and the ability to get a thumbnail - I browsed the lemmy-ui commits and a metric ton of 3rd party dependencies were updated, gave up looking for the cause.

This would most likely be the cause as the majority are from instances that you refer posting links from the sites you mention.
