We live in the UK. She didn't go any further than this. I got her to download TOR and use the "old.Reddit" trick to bypass this so it was only mildly infuriating for her in the end

Images should load from your local Lemmy instance right?

But checking now I see you, OP and the com are all from the same instance. So I’m confused.

    No, OP is lemmings.world, not lemmy.world.

    Oh shit, my bad. Was reading too fast.

    But still, the image should load from your local instance right? So in that commenters case, lemmy.world right?

    Edit: at least on my instance, it appears to go through a proxy on my local instance:

    Do some other instances direct link images?
