Over at [email protected] we’ve got a sidebar with a “total subscribers” shields.io badge, like many other communities all over the Lemmyverse do. I made a simple, non-badge-related edit to the sidebar and due to what seems an aggressive image proxy, the shields.io badge address gets mangled after the edit is saved.
This is “Community Info” from [email protected] on Jerboa. At the bottom of the screen is the midwest.social/api/v3/image_proxy image.
This is “Community Info” from [email protected] on Jerboa, as an example of a working badge. At the bottom the screen is the working shields.io badge.
The pre-save preview shows everything as should be. It’s only when the edit is saved does the badge address get mangled.
I contacted our fearless leader, @[email protected], and he changed an image proxy setting. Now [email protected] works as it should. Any further details or information in regards should be asked of him. Thanks.
Workers of The World…Relax!

Semi off topic, but isn’t the subscriber count badge useless now since Lemmy fixed their reporting of that?
You’re not wrong but “fixed” is a subjective term in this case. Two of the largest instances, https://lemmy.world and https://sh.itjust.works, have yet to “upgrade” past 0.19.3, like many other instances that prefer not to be on the cutting-edge. Nevertheless, the linked shield.io badges may also give other information and not strictly the soon-to-be-redundant “total subscribers” badge.
Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, climb walls…but don’t get caught!

Yea it’s a bit redundant now
I’ve still kept mine up, along with the post explaining it, because I think they look nice in the sidebar. I haven’t added them to any new communities however
Same here
