RESOLVED not working anymore? (lemm.ee)

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?

It's occasionally breaking for us due to imgur rate limiting the lemm.ee server. I am planning to disable proxying for a few well known image hosting sites (including imgur) soon - it requires some additional development, but I think I'll be able to do it in the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I see! Alright then, thank you and keep up the good work!

I've changed the logic now to no longer proxy imgur images, so their rate limits should no longer affect us!

Nice! Thanks man!

Oh man, I did find my obnoxious comment, seemingly blaming you for my utter frustration at the moment.

That's not right, and I sincerely apologise for that.

I've now edited my comment to reflect my pure idiocy at that moment. Thank you for any and all understanding on your part!
