Ohhh I see what’s happened, they removed the original post URL and put in a post body image instead. The Post URL image has federated and its removal hasn’t been transmitted to elsewhere, so they’ve only received the post body addition while keeping the Post URL image.
Good to know that’s no actually a solution then. Next time I’ll just ask for a completely new submission and remove the post entirely. Might be worth considering allowing the removal by the owner to federate though.
there are two images for me on .ml as well (I use Eternity client, maybe that matters)
@dessalines@lemmy.ml is that an intended quirk of federation? Have we just not come across this oddity until now?
If it is I would caution against it, for the reasons detailed above ^
No, its because the post creator used the image twice, as a post URL, and in the post body. It only needs to be in the post url.
