Image problems / switching to a new image host. (lemmygrad.ml)

We're in the process of switching images to a new host, as our old one is shutting down.

I got most images transferred over (we have > 150 GB of images), but they pulled the old image host a month before I was expecting it. I don't know if (or how long) it will take to restore the old one and transfer the rest of the images.

If your profile pictures or other important images are missing, re-upload them for the time being, since I don't know if our old host will accomodate us.

Sorry about this everyone.

The image uploading service (pictrs) has some deduplication feature. I am assuming it saw that the checksum of your image already exists in the database and just gave you an alias instead of storing the image your uploaded. Uploading a new image with a new checksum bypassed this feature.
