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?

[-] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Heterocephalus@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

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?

[-] neme@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

11 days ago I think.

Alright, now I know at least why it does not work anymore!
