Since couple of days I've been prompted with the following error code whenever I'm trying to access imgur. thought its some temp thing but I tried accessing it via VPN now & its opening good! Just wanted to check the same with others...

Error: {"data":{"error":"Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later."},"success":false,"status":403}

So the images are also not loading? They load from i.imgur.com iirc. Might be open.
 
images are not loading as well; i.imgur.com is auto-redirected to imgur.com leading to error page as of now

PS: app is working normal though
 
domain redirects. even direct link to images redirect.

but does a hotlinked image work like on this page:
