The above image is all us folk in the UK see when you do, and if we try to use a VPN + incognito, we get this:

403 means forbidden, so the message is disingenuous.

They must have put some effort into block lists for VPN servers. Even if it works for some of us, it's not worth it.

I do, that's the only one I can remember which I can embed easily here.

What are the alternatives? I wish I could just upload images for comments in PieFed.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'm using Boost for Lemmy and I never questioned how it works, but I can just add images here straight from my gallery.

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You are on Lemmy, I'm on PieFed

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

It doesn't matter, it's a clone with same functionality. There are users below uploading the same way I did and it uploads on their instance (piefed).

Realistically it's just your front end lacking image upload function, but there is back-end for it.

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 1 points 19 hours ago

To me it does matter because I can't upload pictures to comments.

Catbox is basically what Imgur used to be before it went to absolute shit. You upload images, you can link to them. That's it. You don't need to create an account, but if you do, you can see everything you've uploaded. It's free. Not really sure what more you can ask for in an image host.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Catbox is also nonfunctional on some VPNs.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago

Didn't know that! I use an always-on VPN and I've never had issues with Catbox (but imgur blocks me), for what it's worth.

[–] aeiou@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Catbox doesn't work properly on some US mobile carriers and I think Comcast, returns a DNS error

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

I just loaded it through a Comcast connection, so it’s definitely not an IP block or route issue. I don’t use Comcast’s dns though and I’m completely unwilling to do so even for test purposes so you could still be right.

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just upload directly to the instance, at least that's what I think I'm doing. My app lets me do that (Boost).

[–] hereiamagain@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

I'm on boost too. Let's find out, here's a picture uploaded using the built in function.

Well I'll be darned, I thought it was using imgur, but I guess it's straight to the instance. Neat.

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wdym? Can't you see this image I am just embedding on the fly rn?

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can see it, But in PieFed I can't upload one.

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Interesting, I am using the voyager mobile app. Does that mean the functionality is there but the PieFed frontend hasn't integrated it?

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 3 points 1 day ago

That is interesting, I just checked and your image is indeed hosted by PieFed itself and not by any external service like I assumed that the 3rd party apps would implement as a workaround.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

It sounds like the platform of choice for talking shit about the UK these days.

Until this I used it as my daily meme scroller
