Why do some of the avatar/community icons on Midwest seem...Broken? (self.askmidwest)

I've seen occasional comments from folks here where the avatar appears broken, and when going directly here, I found some community icons are likewise...

Checked another browser to make sure and they're more obviously broken viewed through it, so uh...What's up? Did Lemmy change accepted image formats at some point that broke a bunch of'em here?

I'm a mod of /c/kansascity and ours is one that is broken. I'm not sure if this is the case for others with broken icons, but I'm actually unable to update the icon or even the sidebar text at all. Clicking save results in an indefinitely-spinning loading icon. I've let it sit for a long time and it never does anything. I wanted to give it a few days before bothering @[email protected] about it in case it was my problem, but it seems like it's still doing it.

Oof, sidebar text as well? Icons are one thing, but the sidebar text is really useful for descriptions/rules, so that's not great!

Here's to hoping it gets resolved! Also I definitely understand hesitating on contacting admins in case it's just something on my end, lol
