Schnitzel Rule

Images that have been proxied by another instance break when I try to view them on here. As far as I could gather lemmy tries to proxy them again and that doesn’t work creating broken links like:

I noticed our instance got updated to lemmy 0.19.5 which means image proxying is now available. Since it‘s a privacy preserving measure and also (in case of catbox) really helps with loading times I would really like this feature. I am not quite sure but as far as I can tell it is not enabled at the moment. Does anyone know if it is planned to be used in the future?

Also I don’t know where instance related announcements and news are posted so I‘d appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

I am relatively new to Star Trek. I have watched strange New Worlds, the Lower Decks and Discovery and want to watch some of the “older” memed shows from this sub. I could never really get into TOS because it's just too old. What would you guys recommend to watch first to get really into it?

Using a third party app of course
