I know upvotes means nothing on Lemmy EDIT: I have re-hosted the meme. Maybe how I have been posting the memes is preventing interaction. I hope you enjoy.
Perhaps because of Imgur, my and perhaps others clients aren’t even loading the image. I just see a long rectangle with a question mark box.
I just assumed it was a dead/broken link and kept scrolling at first…
EDIT: taking a quick scroll through your posts, I see this is true for all but two of your posts, and those working ones have hundreds of upvotes, so we may be onto something here…
Glad you figured out what the issue was. Please post a comment that describes the issue and solution to said issue, so that other lemmings may be able to solve the problem themselves, if you have time. Thanks :)
I basically downloaded the meme and reupload it to catbox.moe. I then edited the post with the catbox URL since, apparently, imgur no longer allows direct linking and will take you to their site instead.
It seems like, right now, the main catbox.moe is down, but their image hosting is still working ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why not just upload the meme to the instance?
The instance I'm on doesn't allow uploading because of CSAM being uploaded.
oh.
Yeah those were some dark days :(
I love this meme so much
The link works now, thanks!
There are likely people in this thread who were not born when this meme was made.
First, why do you post through imgur instead of directly linking the image and maybe the memes are meh if they consistently get that reception?
As far as I remember lemme.ee doesn't want to host images due to idiots posting CSAM. On mobile the imgur links I post show up flawlessly, what's the issue?
I'm not asking this with snark, I don't get what the problem is.
Edit: if the memes are meh that's intentional, as they are "antique". In my mind that means more than 5-8 years old and not really relevant anymore. In that category I'm posting antique gold, once again, IMO.
Giving you the backstory and appraisals of vintage memes!
Submissions should be vintage memes or commentary about vintage memes. Commenters are advised to appraise the internet value and provenance meme antiquities.
