    I see a different pattern than I see in your screenshot which makes sense with different instance/client. What’s weirder is the pattern I see today is different than I saw when I first saw the thread. I thought lemmy saved a thumbnail for the image. It makes sense different instances would have different settings for the thumbnail which causes different patterns, but I wonder why my instance’s thumbnail changed over time?

    Thumbnail shouldn’t have regenerated and even if it did the generation should be deterministic with a more or less identical outcome. Unless the thumbnail is quite high resolution, the browser/app scaling the thumbnail down again on the fly a second time wouldn’t cause the pattern to change much… Maybe I first viewed it before thumbnail was fully generated or maybe lemmy stores multiple thumbnails at different resolutions?

      What’s even stranger is now there’s no pattern at all for me in the thumbnail

      This post is gaslighting us I swear.
