We live in the UK. She didn’t go any further than this. I got her to download TOR and use the “old.Reddit” trick to bypass this so it was only mildly infuriating for her in the end

    Images should load from your local Lemmy instance right?

    But checking now I see you, OP and the com are all from the same instance. So I’m confused.

        Oh shit, my bad. Was reading too fast.

        But still, the image should load from your local instance right? So in that commenters case, lemmy.world right?

        Edit: at least on my instance, it appears to go through a proxy on my local instance:

        Do some other instances direct link images?

          Proxying was added after a bunch of csam attacks, where every instance admin would have to block it themselves. Now with proxying an admin can either block it themselves or the original posting instance can block it.
