    Just FYI images you’re linking from catbox aren’t loading for me on db0 (on desktop anyway)

      Ah, sorry to hear. Are you in the UK by any chance? A few ISP from there have issues with catbox

          Interesting 🧐 sorry to hear, in any way catbox is very easy to use for me thanks to the Firefox plugin, I haven’t found any equivalent yet unfortunately

            I’ve not had issue with them before, could it be a db0 thing (since I recently moved instance, so that might be it)?

            Either way, is there a reason you don’t upload images directly in to a post? That’s how I’ve been doing it… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              I always thought it was better to have the picture once rather than on every instance, maybe I’m wrong 😅

                I’m not sure what you mean…

                this post of yours for example loads fine, why not just always post that way instead of using a go between?

                  Back in the days, uploading a picture in Lemmy would replicate the picture on every instance. To avoid that, I used catbox.

                  Not sure if that changed nowadays, I think it depends on the instance configuration about pictures proxifying or something like that

                    I thought that was the point? Anyway, I just thought you should know, I have a feeling it isn’t just me who can’t see the catbox posts, so maybe try an alternative for a while, that’s all… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
