Thumbnails fail to load on private instances

When logged into a private instance, post thumbnails don't load. This is because Lemmy will reject all requests that aren't authenticated when the instance is set to private (thumbnails load after setting the instance back to public) and it seems to expect the HTTP call to contain the JWT in the cookies.

This is really weird. I created a Lemmy server to test with and I have the instance set to private:
I created a few posts on my server with images. I expected the images to only be viewable if signed in however I can see them even when I'm not signed in. I'm not sure what is wrong.
Update: Oh it looks like if I upload the image with a non-admin account it works. I will look into the issue tomorrow.
- Hello,
  Thanks for looking into this issue. I'm not sure my original post was clear enough, but the issue also impacts links thumbnails.
  
  yep. I made sure to fix both. The fix will be in the next release.
