Summary
When scrolling, I want to expand images by clicking on them, but sometimes I am taken to a completely different site because it was an external link.
This happens because the two icons are WAY too similar to easily tell apart, especially since they are overlaid on the post's image.
I recommend either putting the external/image icon outside of the post's image or at least make them more different (perhaps different colors?)
Steps to Reproduce
Browse lemmy
Click on images to expand them
Sooner or later you'll mess up and end up loading a completely different site, from which you might not be able to easily come back (back button is unreliable nowadays)
Technical Details
Mostly a problem on phones where the icon is a couple millimeters wide, but also on desktop.
