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
This happens only on my lemm.ee account. I have no such issues when I use my lemmy.world account though. I will post the same image as comment in this thread 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 see! Alright then, thank you and keep up the good work!
I’ve changed the logic now to no longer proxy imgur images, so their rate limits should no longer affect us!
Nice! Thanks man!
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.
Ah, sorry for getting testy there, Nico.
But what MORE do you imagine I could do, given a switch in roles, matey?I’m literally ‘hands tied behind my back, here’ and for what, Nico? Did I do something WRONG…?
SO THEN-- let someone state what I did wrong, so then let’s correct it, eh…?
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.
I can’t see neither one of those that you posted on lemm.ee
Try logging in through another instance, I can see it if I use my lemmy.world account.
Interesting, do you know when that update happened?
11 days ago I think.
Alright, now I know at least why it does not work anymore!
Posting the image from my lemmy.world account:
Lemmy 1.9.5 is out
