I think that just happens sometimes. I’ve had people tell me images from my instance weren’t loading, and nothing really ever “went wrong.” I’ve seen it happen for me, too. My guess is that every so often an image just doesn’t load. Why, I don’t know, but presumably it is for similar reasons as to why I am every so often just randomly logged out until I reload the page, or why everything flashes Chinese for a second before going back over to English again.
One thing to note is that I know why the linked site doesn’t load (most .ru sites are blocked in Ukraine as they spread russian genocidal propaganda and misinformation), I am just surprised the cached Lemmy copy of the image doesn’t load.

Ah good, I was beginning to think it was just me, or just the instance I’m on.

Yeah, like I say, I think Lemmy just be like that.
