The image that appears for this story is a woman's vagina, which is... certainly... influential.
Yea, there's definitely some weird bug for some of the users. I just see the normal image from the article. I tried on lemm.ee and also just see the normal image.
Kbin only problem. Usually we get something dumb from improperly cached images, but sometimes we get naked ladies and that gets a lot of attention from our instance.
You're a mod for this community, right? I'm not sure if this would work, but if you were to add an NSFW tag to this post, I think that should federate over to Kbin, which will at least blur out the thumbnail for us.
Though that may also end up hiding the post from users who have NSFW disabled on their accounts, so it might not be worth doing.
EDIT: I realized that the way I phrased this may have seemed unnecessarily confrontational with the "You're a mod, right?" part. Sorry if it came across that way! I didn't mean for it to sound like "You're a mod, right? Do something!" lol
I don't think our instance bugs should impact them. Other than a flood of kbin user comments. We'd need to get a fix timeline from Ernest.
