Consistent with other clients, can these images be progressively downloaded or display a loader animation?

Amethyst, Snort, Nostur all display it.

Specifically I am interested in the user interface of letting a client know media is loading, or is not supported (e.g. due to max file size).

@jb55 mentions Damus does not have CDN, while clients like Snort do currently.

Perhaps add a warning if an oversized image isn't loading and allow the user to tap to download it. Would that work?

There's a couple things going on.

1. Currently Damus has a limitation on file size. How might we communicate this @robagreda user is attempting loading a file size larger than the limit?
2. Loading large file - should, and how might we communicate this @robagreda ? Could this UI extend to all media, not just "large" media?

Do not render media. Did not experience crash.

we don't load > 20MB for sanity ... ideally we would detect content size and force a proxy for larger images
