We should be downloading images rather than hotlinking to OL. Assuming we download the covers of every book that’s read, a server could generate a blurhash of the cover and include it in the activity payload. Servers that the activity federates to could then quickly generate an image while it downloads it itself.
We could also use this for nsfw covers if we ever support that.
