[Bug?] Some generators in the generators page have a blank white thumbnail

Just noticed that some generators in the /generators page have a blank white thumbnail while it should display the captured content from the generator page. Could there be something wrong with the getGeneratorScreenshot API, or any other reasons?

I also tried to open one of the blank white thumbnails in a new tab to trigger a getGeneratorScreenshot response, but it had the same issue.

Yeah quite a few of them have. My generators are all blank, I believe. But $meta.image does work though.

Same with some of my generators/plugins too, even my generator hub page has a blank thumbnail. (Here's a link for testing)

I've found some even show with a big question mark--when there's not even a blank image for it. 😅

My latest couple of public pages do have thumbnails now!

Maybe it's related to the page being private or public during development, something like that?

Probably not, I've never set any of my plugins private before or after saving. Either way this may happen at any chance.

This most likely happened on very newly created generators, when the automatic thumbnail for those haven't been captured yet.

Also @perchance@lemmy.world, at least only on the hub page, one sub-list async function assignment is somehow mistakenly recognized as a parsing error (I've only encountered this on desktop and not mobile).
