Dear friends, I don't know why, but my avatar doesn't show up correctly when my posts appear on Diaspora. I become a lovely cat, as you can see on the photo. The same post shows up correctly on Mastodon, though!
Keep up your great work!
Best regards.
Keep safe!

The "what" is clear, but not the "why". Means: The avatar is created by the catavatar addon. But it should only appear for contacts without avatars - and you do have one. We recently had worked at this part of the code, so there seems to be a bug.
Where did these 404 requests came from? Remote or local?
Concerning Hubzilla it will most likely depend upon the type of connection. Means if the Hubzilla contact added you via the Diaspora protocol or via ActivityPub. With AP I'm most likely sure that there are no problems, otherwise we would already see them. And the Diaspora-protocol has some obstacles concerning the avatar update, so I guess the problems are based there.

I have to perform some other changes in the code but try to have a look at it today. (But I cannot promise)
