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!
Image proxying was added in lemmy v0.19.4 and imgur probably doesn't like it. Does it work with other image hosting service?
It does work with imgur but only when I post with my lemmy.world account. The image is then only visible when I use my lemmy.world account, it becomes invisible when I use my lemm.ee account.
I can't see neither one of those that you posted on lemm.ee
Try logging in through another instance, I can see it if I use my lemmy.world account.
Interesting, do you know when that update happened?
11 days ago I think.
Alright, now I know at least why it does not work anymore!
Posting the image from my lemmy.world account:
Edit: This image is invisible when using lemm.ee but visible when using lemmy.world
Posting from lemm.ee account:
Edit: This image is invisible no matter what instance I use.
posting from lemm.ee account, using another image host than imgur:
Edit: Heureka!
Tested again just now. Still seems busted.
Still this code added in, breaking image-linking attempts:
"https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url="
Please link me the image you were trying to post there, so i can try to reproduce the error.
EDIT: Non-polite, frustrated words.
Old man ranting at clouds, basically.
Sorry folks, sorry.
Thanks for this thread and the replies, and I just wanted to add on that there are additional issues going on, related or not. For example:
Our community ("lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels" no longer shows up in "Lemmy Explorer."
For example, we were the #2 listing for a long time, until ten days ago, when these three issues first manifested.
See:
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=graphic+novels
"Graphic novels" is literally our title, and the wording routinely occurs throughout our posts, but we're now invisible?
