Seems to be the only image site not showing images in my feed on the regular. Using the mobile site.

Same, using desktop here.

Yup, same here too. Probably it's the way Imgur is coded, they want to drive traffic to their site after all.

It's imgur. They're blocking "bots". Sadly, they've identified the thumbnailer as a bot.

They often block VPN users too.
