Hello everyone,
Following this post, it seems that quite a few users can’t see catbox.moe pictures.
Catbox was my preferred option as they have a handy Firefox extension that allows to upload pictures with just a click, and get the link directly in the clipboard.
My understanding was also that by having the pictures on catbox, we avoided storing copies of pictures on every Lemmy instance. Is this still the case? I read a bit about proxying pictures (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4035) and it seems like this is more related to keep all media required by an instance locally, to avoid broken links.
So long story short: what should be the recommended way to share pictures on Lemmy?
- Use a hoster like https://imgbb.com/
- Upload pictures locally

I don’t see an image, using Voyager.
I don’t see any links either.
I also use Voyager but I see the test image.
The plot thickens

I’m on Voyager 2.23.1 using android 15 if that helps
Do you see this? https://i.postimg.cc/05H92qJj/me-in-real-life.jpg
Only if I follow the link. It took a long time to load. Might have been my 4G.
Edit: after visiting the link then returning, the preview image appeared ok.
Interesting, thanks

Okay, thanks for investigating! Postimages is more direct to upload pictures, so I might use that in the future
Works: Firefox on Windows PC.
Thanks! If there would be an image hoster with an extension that would be great, I just tried using imgbb for a few posts, and it’s just much more cumbersome unfortunately
