Yes, I'm the very same ~~moron~~ person who accidentally deleted his community, then had it restored by our excellent admin / site-runner a month or two ago. Yup!
Now for today's stupid-idiot complaint:
Around June 9th I found that I could no longer display images in comments & posts. The specific problem seemed to stem from some broken code that was being auto-added, namely:
"https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url="
IIRC my co-mod opened a thread on this stuff around a week ago." And... in the words of the kids?
"Shizzle's still broke." I.e., the code still doesn't work, and still breaks every attempt to share images.
But sadly, there's more. Namely, it seems that lemm.ee communities are no longer showing up in one of the significant FV search engines, i.e. "lemmyverse.net."
For example, one of our biggest communities here on lemm.ee, i.e. "movies" is now totally missing from the results. So, (currently) every time people look for stuff on search engines like that, lemm.ee communities will be invisible to them.

You haven't been doing anything wrong from your side - we have just been experiencing some growing pains with a new Lemmy feature (image proxying).
It's a bit unfortunate that these problems cropped up, but ultimately we will benefit from this new feature, as it will help solve several issues with Lemmy image hosting overall. So I hope you can forgive the issues and trust that the end result is worth it!
Sounds good to me, and anything we can do to help, please!
Oh, geeze, no apologies necessary on anyone's end, particularly towards our wonderful host's end. We're going to help make the Fediverse work, right? Alrighty then! ^^
