Avatars/Pictures won't load

Open ShadowJet opened this issue 1 year ago • 18 comments

Hello. So, at some point last week, whenever I browse X Cancelled, the account Avatars, along with the post pictures/videos won't show up. Instead, I get this.

Is anybody else experiencing this issue, or is it just me?

Operating System: Windows 10 Browser: Firefox 133.0 (64-Bit)

Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping for at least some acknowledgement. Ah, well. I'm just glad that I wasn't the only one experiencing this issuse.

I found this custom instance to be working almost perfectly https://nitter.poast.org/

Thank you @ItsBranK Still, does anyone know why xcancel.com doesn't display images in Firefox but works fine in other browsers (Chromium, Edge)? Just curious what the issue is

It doesn't work in chrome, edge, or firefox for me.

This instance doesn't deliver images/media over RSS. :(

Hey @ShadowJet, this happened because I have recently switched to using twitter/x servers directly because my server was flooded with requests for images and videos.

I did not know that firefox enhanced tracking protection was blocking twitter images servers. But since then I fixed the issue, now the images load fine.

Hello, @unixfox. I just went back on X Cancelled. And both photos and videos work out beautifully. Thank you so much for addressing this issue!

@MoonlessForest Not by default but you can enable proxy for images in the preferences: https://xcancel.com/settings

I have no IP restriction, which is what make it different from all other nitter instances. My instance works on all IP addresses.

Please continue the discussion in matrix (https://matrix.to/#/#nitter:matrix.org) or by email (contact [At] xcancel DOT cOm. In order to avoid polluting this github issue. Thanks

@unixfox No need to, apparently, it's the CDN provider itself that is blocked here, not any particular domain, which is why it fails to connect... Apologies for wasting your time. Thank you for still maintaining the instance, by the way, you are the best!
