I also have varying success with catbox. But that has been going on forever.... Some days it is fine, some it is not...
Huh, well at least it's not just me, or the instance I'm on, I guess. Gotta assume it's an issue on catbox's end then, which is a shame, because I can't really do much about that, and do like it, I just wish it worked consistently..
additionally: Catbox and Quad9 DNS have an ongoing beef with each other, usually things get fixed after a day or so and then start up a month later …
Good to know thanks, and also that sucks lol but I'm glad they're able to generally sort things out reasonably quickly.
I'll just have to be patient.
They almost never load for me, and it's been that way since forever. I have to assume it's an issue with Catbox itself, since they don't even load taking the direct URL into a browser and trying to open it that way. It always times out.
weird. ive never had an issue with catbox. i kinda liked it because it was so simple and reliable
Same here, but from the different feedback I guess I should change to something else
Yep, exactly
I don't even know what catbox is but from the context I'm going to assume it's an image hosters for cat pics
Just image hosting, not cat specific lol
catbox.moe (though currently not loading)
It’s on and off, in my experience. Right now it’s working, but it used to never load for me. Which is a shame, because a lot of people on Lemmy seem to use it.
Yeah, same, it wasn't a noticeable issue before, but suddenly I was getting loads of issues. Since I recently moved instances I thought it might be related, but clearly it's on their end and fedi-wide, and you're right, it is a shame not only because so many people use it, but so many people use it because it's a great alternative to the corporate options we generally have now (imgur and such).
I guess as with most things off the main stream, we just have to be a little more patient.
I cannot see catbox images. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to see a thumbnail and make out what it is. Otherwise there's nothing.
Ah, thanks. I guess it's definitely an issue with their server then, rather than anything on my side. Shame.
Catbox has always been a problem for me. Sometimes it'll work for a day or two and then not work for another month. I emailed them and they said they're not doing any blocking on their side.
whatever.
