Update 1: This is an issue with cloudflare, we are having issues with the account that hosts the site, we are contacting cloudflare support about the issue.
Update 2: we have switched s3 providers and images should be working again, older images may be missing, we will have to do a merge with the old s3 storage backup into the new provider, we plan to do this soon, but all new images will work as expected, sorry for the issues and thanks for your patience and kindness while we were working on the fix
Update 3: we have created a new ticket with cloudflare support with more information so that hopefully they take this issue more seriously.
For those experiencing issues uploading pictures, that is a separate issue we were not aware of until yesterday, that should be fixed now
EDIT: Federation issues:
It seems like federation is working now and the issues with photo uploading and admin settings getting 500 errors was also causing federation issues. Some posts were, to my understanding, in a federation window that has passed so the data is no longer there to be federated to our instance but future posts should federate properly. Please let me know if you see any other more recent posts that aren’t federating properly.
So you guys will eventually get the images back up and working? Cause this is keeping me from posting
It seems like you were unable to upload pictures, that's a separate issue that I wasn't aware of, sorry about that, you should be able to upload images now
the images are working, old images are just missing right now
