I used to regularly put images in comments by using ![](). Suddenly that does not work anymore, help!

It stopped working for me (and also another user) a few days ago. Until I post the comment it is fine but when I post it, the url of the image is getting automatically changed into a format that does not work.

Before posting it looks like this:

![](https://i.imgur.com/yFXLOOY.jpg)

However, posting it changes the url into this (non working) url

![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FyFXLOOY.jpg)

I will post the same image as a comment in this thread from two different accounts to illustrate.

How did this suddenly change, I never had problems posting images in comments before?

What can I do to fix this? I like posting images in comments and would be very happy if I could go back to it?

    Thanks for this thread and the replies, and I just wanted to add on that there are additional issues going on, related or not. For example:

    Our community (“lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels” no longer shows up in “Lemmy Explorer.”

    For example, we were the #2 listing for a long time, until ten days ago, when these three issues first manifested.

    See:
    https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=graphic+novels

    “Graphic novels” is literally our title, and the wording routinely occurs throughout our posts, but we’re now invisible?
