no issue here

Funny - I’ve been 429’d by imgur for about a week now. Thought it was only an issue on my personal VPN but now seeing others complain like this makes me think its actually nostr clients getting us rate limited 😂

🤣🤣

Interesting. I’ve had no issues so far. Been using Imgur to host my images since I joined Nostr back in December. I wonder if it’s a regional issue?

Imgur must’ve made some recent change to their rate limiting. Could be so many reasons why it is being applied to some and not others hard to even speculate.

True

Can you try another client and see?

Cannot play on Iris either

Easy way to verify that you’re having the same problem is just to paste the imgur/etc link in to your browser. See if it loads and if not what the HTTP response code is.

My PFP loads.

The Imgur mp4 I linked to gives a generic error:

The link loads fine for me.

Before I always was able to see your pics

Not sure what the common issue is for those who can’t see them. I asked a few other people to scroll my timeline and they all said they can see everything fine. All running Damus I believe. 🤷‍♂️

I wonder if the preloading is causing users to get rate limited? 🤔

I’m guessing this is the case. Only having issues with imgur personally. I think it’s been roughly a week. I actually sent them a ticket on the 28th out of curiosity but I doubt they’ll answer me.

Mystery solved! Who got this brilliant idea to block VPN on #nostr protocol? 🤣

This happened to me here and there thought it was due to my connection. Closing Damus and reopening worked for me. But now since the TestFlight I have yet to come across this.

Yeah working fine for me too. I see everything above. Latest TF
