This might be due to third party privacy blocking within Brave browser, I'm not sure.
yeah this is a known issue. will either need to use image proxy or find another db solution. see this post:

will keep you posted.
Just an FYI, your reply used localhost: instead of domainname:
doh thank you
Just noticed this also. Looks like Damus Web has solved this issue:
https://damus.io/web/?pk=npub17jjxdns4cx3v7zdy7awj0gqsawqtezh50m7aggpvvryah8m6pgtqfs0r7j
yeah this is not an issue on damus because damus doesn't need cors. astral has strict cors as a dependency for the db.
Why does the database require CORS?
it needs the shared array buffer (its an experimental db)
Oh, that's neat! I know CORS can make exceptions based on resource types...
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/CORS_enabled_image
It also says I need to configure my server to support it, I think.
yep exactly. this is already done (and why any images at all are working haha).
any image (or resource in general) that isn't served with header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': * will err in astral unfortunately.
at some point I am going to stand up a proxy to fetch the images that run into cors issues.
Another workaround: install CORS Unblock from Chrome Web Store and only enables on astral.ninja
ok I ended up removing the db that required astral to be cors isolated. now there shouldn't be any cors issues nor broken images. closing.
