It seems like 2/3 other images from this instance won't load at all for me. Am I alone here?

After, I think, v 0.19, there was some upgrade to proxy image hosting or something like that. Instances that have version mismatches have display issues with images.

It’s not you.

Thanks for the heads up. I am still trying to resolve this without a migration... I will try again to get a response from them as they have not replied in a week.

No worries Sal, thanks for what you do. Just tagging you when I see these. I'm not fussed about it.

Ps, I know I've said it before... Don't be afraid to put up a donation link if you switch to something more expensive in the end. :) It takes a village.

Thanks!

Cost is not the bottleneck in this case... The problem is that I am rather ignorant about the options and their benefits/limitations. Moving the images the first time was painfully slow because of those same rate limits, and I expect the next migration to be the same, so I want to make a better choice next time and would rather find a solution with the current provider 😅

Good news! Just got a reply from them and they have increased the connection limit. They did not specify what the new number is, but hopefully it is high enough to not be an issue for the foreseeable future.

So, if you do run into other similar reports after this comment I would appreciate it if you tag me again.
