I'm not sure what you mean..
this post of yours for example loads fine, why not just always post that way instead of using a go between?
Back in the days, uploading a picture in Lemmy would replicate the picture on every instance. To avoid that, I used catbox.
Not sure if that changed nowadays, I think it depends on the instance configuration about pictures proxifying or something like that
I thought that was the point? Anyway, I just thought you should know, I have a feeling it isn't just me who can't see the catbox posts, so maybe try an alternative for a while, that's all.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No, by using catbox, all instances just refer to catbox, which is the single host of the picture.
In the past, you would have a copy of pictures posted directly stored by every instance, consuming resources for every of them
You're the first one complaining, if there's someone else I'll reconsider!
I don't think that's been the case for quite some time. As a test, what is the link for this image in my comment? It should be blahaj's pictrs instance:
(it'll either show as lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs or pictrs.blahaj.zone)
