Thank you for posting the source, as catbox does not work for many people.
Oh. I’m not sure where to host images then; I know that when lemm.ee closed literally all the images that were posted with lemm.ee vanished. It gives me pause to build up the same thing again.
Edit: I switched it to lemmy.ca as a host. (I’m not sure if PieFed allows uploading images without creating a new post in the same way that Lemmy does.)
at least wait for lemm.ee to leave the room before you talk about it in the past tense geez
(jk but they are going to vanish yeah)
Oh I’m glad it’s not just me. Any idea why it doesn’t work?
One of the more popular pihole block lists has it under spam, I had to whitelist it.
This is their FAQ about connectivity, I almost simply linked the page, but realized if you can’t access it, you can’t see the FAQ. https://catbox.moe/faq.php
I just assume it’s overwhelmed at times, since the majority of the time Catbox does not work for me is around “prime time.” Which in this case, tends to be around 2-3am (for me) when it’s mid-morning for a lot of the non-US based users.
This is a good point but my issue isn’t DNS or ISP-wide hijacking. I can query my DNS server and get an IP for catbox.moe but I cannot interact with that IP. No pings, nothing. Something between me and them is blocking this connection. It’s not my and it’s not my ISP. Catbox says it isn’t them.
I haven’t a clue. I emailed them from a network admin perspective and all they gave me was “We’re not blocking you”.
