Broken thumbnail images (lemm.ee)

I've been noticing more and more broken thumbnails over the last few weeks, but now it seems like things have fully fallen apart. A little over half of the posts have had functional images in recent weeks, but now I've noticed that pretty much none of the posts made within the last 10 hours or so have functional thumbnails. In-instance thumbnails are fine, but now pretty much every other instance's images are broken.

Previous posts in the same vein in this community seem to indicate that it's an issue with other hosts denying lemm.ee access to download images, but surely something can be done, right? It's pretty tedious to click on each post individually if I'm just browsing memes. Is this issue just on my end, or is it broken for everyone? And if it's just me, is there a way to fix it? I've tried clearing the site data from my browser (firefox) to no avail.

A couple screenshots in case it's just on my end: https://imgur.com/a/broken-images-guyVr1n

Our pict-rs (image software) was having some issues, but it should be resolved now!

Same. It happens occasionally on a post here and there, but it really only seems like a widespread “problem” today. I’m using Voyager on iOS. Sometimes images are slow to load, or seem to not load at all.

Weirdly, I also saw one NSFW image load in and display for a second before being blurred. I assume that normally doesn’t happen because they load and blur before I scroll near them.

It feels more like a lag/slowness issue to me.

Seems to be happening across more instances than just Lem.ee. I was using Voyager as well, and changed over to Arctic. The change in apps didn’t solve the problem, but did reduce it slightly.
