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:
![](https://i.imgur.com/yFXLOOY.jpg)
However, posting it changes the url into this (non working) url
![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FyFXLOOY.jpg)
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?
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!
