Is there something about Mastodon and the Fediverse that you need help with?

Reply to me or send me a DM and I'll try to help if I can, or put you in touch with someone else who can help.

Don't worry if a question seems silly or obvious! The idea of this account is to especially help new people.

Sometimes I might look back at another users timeline, but after a certain history all the images disappear, why is that?

Sounds like a server problem maybe?

What are you using to view their timeline?

Firefox browser on Windows 11. Its as if there's a time limit on images or something 🤷‍♂️

Is the user on another server? (You can tell by looking at the last part of their account address)

Usually they are, but it needn't be a specific server or individual. For example, if I search #IBM and browse down the list, all images past, say August this year are missing

Hmm... I wonder if this is something to do with your server's media settings.

I'm not a sysadmin unfortunately but perhaps your server admin could help?

OK, many thanks, I wondered if its a general thing. I realise you weren't volunteering to be tech support LOL.
I wonder if @jaz has any thoughts
