Lemmy clients should really include an option to group or only show the first instance of a link for cases like this; where the same link is posted to multiple places.

So what is happening if I don't see an image?

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

it is because the website providing the image is overloaded and cannot create an image.
You just have to reload the image and eventually you will see one.
