Welcome to /c/DiWHY!
DiWHY (pronounced D-I-Why) is a community to share DIY (do-it-yourself) projects that leave you questioning the meaning of purpose and practicality. Have you ever seen or attempted a DIY project that seemed like a good idea at first glance, only to realize it was a total disaster later? Share those moments here!

MODERATORS
Sorry, I am more of a content consumer than content creator so I haven’t got an alternative for you. There is a possibility it’s just my device’s setup that creates the issues but I’ve never successfully loaded a cat box dot moe file.
I didn’t mean to single you out, my frustration stems from hundreds of unsuccessful attempts at viewing. Apologies.
That's OK, I understand.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'll gladly switch. I usually browse Lemmy from my phone, so it's preferrable that it doesn't have a complicated UI and it's just straight up simple: upload, share link, done. Catbox ticks all of the boxes and it's free 🤷.
some ISPs may be blocking cat box because there's a significant amount of porn being uploaded on there, but that'll happen with any file host as open as catbox
hosting files, especially videos, are expensive (hence why most instances disable video uploads) and, if public, has a hefty moderation workload, so anything of reasonable size (and isn't personal) will end up either enshittified a la imgur or die.
and we shouldn't expect everyone to have their own webservers just to share their silly stuff on the net. this is a difficult problem to solve
