Something that feels off to me about Mastodon is content preservation — whenever I try looking at an image post more than a couple of months old, images don't load or they're broken links. The text is always fine and image preview sometimes work too, just the full thing once you click on it is busted. Is media just more ephemeral in general over here?
@kilmo maybe moved accounts
@kulza nah turned out it’s instance caching, any media that hasn’t been seen in x days gets cleaned up and mastodon lacks the UI go clearly communicate when it’s reloading a picture, it just skips to broken image
