    and don’t load when you try to fully display them

    I kind of think that last part is super relevant; I notice it mostly on instances that have been having downtimes like lemmy world / blahaj. When I try to load the actual image from the domain itself, it may not load because the instance is down (edit but then it might later on, the ones in OP are loading for me, but I have seen this happen while instances were down too). I’m wondering if kbin is having trouble fetching the thumbnail, times out or something, and then just uses the last (edit based on the below, maybe next) thumbnail it got instead, which is why people have been reporting thumbnails from most recent entries are showing up multiple times

    The image in https://kbin.social/m/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone/t/359227/Low-effort-way-of-posting-unique-memes-translate-memes-from appears likely to have come from https://kbin.social/m/steam@lemmy.ml/p/1437748/Now-playing-HoloCure-Save-the-Fans-A-new-freebie-on-at which was posted 31 seconds later

    Edit: This is just a theory of mine, I could be way off as I’m not knowledgeable on kbin, just remarking on my experiences with the thumbnail media cache
