    Probably because of the cloudflare layer. It shows me a captcha when I click on the link to your image, so it makes sense that embedding wouldn’t work correctly.

        No, it’s the website you linked (yarn.co) that uses cloudflare protection (against bots, DDoS attacks etc). When it detects any traffic it deems unusual, it shows a captcha that the visitor needs to click before being able to view the image. It can’t display a captcha when you’ve embedded the image into a Lemmy post though, so the image just won’t load at all in that case.

            I guess not everyone’s traffic is being deemed unusual/suspicious. There are many deciding factors that cloudflare could use to differentiate from “normal” traffic, such as location, browser, OS, VPN usage etc.
