Just a bunch of publicly posted images I pulled from a retired old washed up link aggregation site in the past to use as backgrounds. (all are 3rd party hosted)

Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but the images don’t load for me.
this is what I see:
Weird, suddenly, just after I posted my comment, they started loading for me. At least 10 minutes after me opening this page.
Sorry to hear that. It could be a few things. The place that I used to host these is usually used more for NSFW stuff. It is just a server an individual hosts. I tried to add them to Post Images, but it looks like that site blocked my VPN and I’m too lazy to go refresh it on my workstation. You may be seeing a bug due to Lemmy’s picture cache, I don’t know his that works exactly, but like I’ve seen 3rd party hosted images work when the hosting site is down and I don’t think I had them locally cached on my device. I know there are “helpers” like bots that transfer data between instances and these must be configured somehow to keep the connections refreshed, but that is about all I know.
