I used to regularly put images in comments by using ![](). Suddenly that does not work anymore, help!
It stopped working for me (and also another user) a few days ago. Until I post the comment it is fine but when I post it, the url of the image is getting automatically changed into a format that does not work.
Before posting it looks like this:
However, posting it changes the url into this (non working) url
I will post the same image as a comment in this thread from two different accounts to illustrate.
How did this suddenly change, I never had problems posting images in comments before?
What can I do to fix this? I like posting images in comments and would be very happy if I could go back to it?
It’s occasionally breaking for us due to imgur rate limiting the lemm.ee server. I am planning to disable proxying for a few well known image hosting sites (including imgur) soon - it requires some additional development, but I think I’ll be able to do it in the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I’ve changed the logic now to no longer proxy imgur images, so their rate limits should no longer affect us!
Image proxying was added in lemmy v0.19.4 and imgur probably doesn’t like it. Does it work with other image hosting service?
It does work with imgur but only when I post with my lemmy.world account. The image is then only visible when I use my lemmy.world account, it becomes invisible when I use my lemm.ee account.
Tested again just now. Still seems busted.
Still this code added in, breaking image-linking attempts:
Please link me the image you were trying to post there, so i can try to reproduce the error.
EDIT: Non-polite, frustrated words.
Old man ranting at clouds, basically.
Sorry folks, sorry.

Edit: This image is invisible when using lemm.ee but visible when using lemmy.world
