Hi everyone. I was doing some maintenance on my server and accidentally nuked my pictrs folder (the one thing I didn’t backup…).

I can re-upload the photos and community icons I had added, but is there a way to get the server to generate the thumbnail on existing local posts?

Thumbnails from remote instances are working fine but I can’t get the local thumbnails to regenerate.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

If you nuked them, how can you load the images??

The thumbnails were originally generated when the links were posted, so I’m asking if there’s a way to trigger that process manually.

Ah sorry can't help you there.
