Images load for half a second, then turn into a white "broken image" icon

As the title says, some images load for half a second, then turn into a white "broken image" icon. If you then tell connect to "open external" it opens the image in a web browser, and that works just fine.

It's just the weirdest thing. The image loads, you see it for a split second before it changes. This happens frequently enough to be annoying. I'm not sure if it's just a certain file type or what. Maybe it's webp's?

Here's an example post that is doing it for me: https://lemmy.zip/post/8235310

I have the same problem but only sometimes.
Hi, thanks for the feedback! I've pushed a possible fix in ver164 on the beta channel.
- now it seems links doesn't open anymore like it used to. if I click on the image of a post it used to open link.
  
  I'll take a look! Is this for all images or specific images? What happens when you open an image?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !memes@lemmy.world

I used to have this problem occasionally now it happens frequently. When I try opening it externally I get a bunch of html gobbledygook
