Same here, on both mobile and desktop for me. (quite annoying on mobile to use)

@DessertStorms

Can confirm this happens to me too. I thought it was imgurl blocking the IP range or something. They're probably getting the Fediverse hug of death too

Likely true, the preview is working on test instances.

Imgur have quite recently blocked my VPN (privately hosted, not mainstream). They don't like non-domestic IPs accessing their service it appears. I fear the only way to fix this is not to attempt to pull and cache imgur images :(

I've noticed that clicking the link to the imgur page loads the image fine as long as you're on their page but the inline images don't load properly into kbin.

Hu, that hasn't worked for me so far, clicking the link only takes me to the page in the screenshot, not to imgur.

[–] MachineBEM@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

This is my experience also. I hope this gets fixed. I have to click the thread open first before clicking open the imgur link.

Just to add: this isn't new, but at first I assumed it was just individual posts that were buggy, then I noticed it was all of them (other image posts load fine). Also wondering if this is maybe an imgur issue rather than a kbin one since their site is going through some shit?
Either way, thought it was worth reporting.

Imgur has been incredibly unreliable for the past month or so. Check if you can access the images through their direct link. If not, that means the issue is with imgur and not with kbin.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, just added a comment wondering if that was the problem.
Also when you say direct link, do you mean where it says (i.imgur.com)? because that just leads to the page in the screenshot
