Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

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.
The other person explaining is definitely right. Also FYI what you are describing is called hotlinking and is generally considered to be bad internet etiquette because it adds load to someone’s server without driving real traffic to their site (although there is some debate around this that’s been ongoing for 30 years lol). The “best practice” is to copy the actual image (not the link) and paste it into Boost, and that should automatically upload the image to your lemmy/piefed instance and host it from there.
