I often use litter.catbox.moe (auto-deleting) because I can upload via command line. But it's so slow sometimes that it's unusable for e.g. including images in comments. Is that also the case for catbox.moe proper?
When I click on catbox.moe images on Lemmy, I don't see a difference between being on a VPN, my WiFi at home, on mobile data oder a random Hotspot. It either loads like back in the days when we had dial up connections or in >90% of the cases I get a connection timeout. It's a pita to the point that I check the link on Lemmy before clicking on it and have a very hard time to not justify instantly down voting the poster for using that service.
OK so it's the same. That's sad.
Weirdly, the website loads fine, but clicking on the litterbox link just loads forever.
Interesting: the catbox FAQ mentions pomf.se which redirects to uguu.se which supports API uploading and is FLOSS/self-hostable.
