Avatar Not Federating

Hello

Whenever a remote server Fediverse instance attempts to pull my avatar from my Lemmy server, the following shows up in my logs.

thread 'actix-rt|system:0|arbiter:0' panicked at 'No auth header for picture access', crates/routes/src/images.rs:138:8

It would seem that Lemmy doesn't allow the public Internet access to my avatar photo. Anyone else have this problem?

Thank you!

I figured out my problem. 🙃

When I configured my single-user Lemmy instance, I marked the server as "private" in the settings. I thought that was a good idea, but it actually prevents my avatar from being accessible from the Internet. I'm not entirely sure what else it impacted.

Once I made my server "public" in my server setting, I was able to pull my avatar from my Mastodon instance.
