I recently switched to Voyager, but I seem not to be able to load any catbox images or videos.

I've tried it with and without VPN - no luck.

Anyone else having this issue? Or dare I hope a workaround?

The same problem that led to me reporting has persisted, with certain videos not loading in the feed.

Investigating today no catbox posts were affected, might just have been an outage when I wrote the post.

Compiling some links today, the issue seems to be with some redgifs. Currently the following posts don't load on Voyager, but do on the Web client (all porn on lemmynsfw, compiled over about 30 mins):

Redgifs not loading in preview or post

This has been something I've been looking into.

Seems there's two issues at play.

Your DNS (or ISP) provider may be arbitrarily blocking it.

You're connecting from a blacklisted network (such as a VPN).

If your operating system supports encrypted DNS try using it with CloudFlare.

If you're using a VPN try disconnecting and reconnecting. Then flush your DNS cache.

Catbox can be blocked in some locations
