Images from catbox not loading for anyone else? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

E: solved I guess? This seems to be an issue across users and instances, so it must be an issue on catbox's end.I hope they sort it out.

Scrolling through the new 196 there are quite a few posts that won't expand when clicking as I would expect them to on my feed, some simply lead to a new tab (annoying, but they still load), but images from catbox, from different users, don't seem to be loading at all, not expanding in-instance, and not loading in a new tab either, the best I can do is open the thumbnail image in a new tab and zoom in at like 500% to try and read it.

I'm on desktop and have tried on a couple different browsers, and cleared cache and cookies and that, but that doesn't help.

Trying to figure out if this is an instance issue, a catbox issue, or a me issue, and is there a way to resolve it?

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 …

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.

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.
