Over at !music@midwest.social 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 !music@midwest.social on Jerboa. At the bottom of the screen is the midwest.social/api/v3/image_proxy image.
This is “Community Info” from !detroit@midwest.social 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, @seahorse@midwest.social, and he changed an image proxy setting. Now !music@midwest.social works as it should. Any further details or information in regards should be asked of him. Thanks.

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!
