mosh + neofetch gives unexpected behaviour

[oregonpillow]

I'm using neofetch in combination with oh-my-zsh, and it works except the rendering of the image when i use mosh. I don't particularly understand why this is happening. When i use normal SSH, the image renders perfectly fine in my client terminal (iTerm2).

Any suggestions or ideas what might be causing this? Thanks!

Normal SSH

Using Mosh (image rendering broken, defaults to text art)

Mosh does not support either sixel or kitty graphics protocol. See #1081 and #1248 .

Thanks @achernya I was already aware of this. However I'm using iTerm2 not sixel or kitty unless iTerm2 uses sixel in it's backend.

My mistake, I thought iterm2 used sixel but apparently it's a custom separate protocol: https://iterm2.com/documentation-images.html

The situation remains the same: mosh doesn't support any of these image protocol extensions and adding support for them is difficult as outlined in the referenced bugs.
