Today, I started getting a bug where whenever I try to post an image or gif on reddit (either on a subreddit or on my own profile, as a post or in a comment),  it doesnt work. I can post videos, just not images or gifs

What happens is that I press the photo icon to attach an image from my files, and then I press post. It takes longer than usual for reddit to process the post (like over a minute, when I post videos or text its less than a few seconds ) and then when it posts, I get a notification that says "submit failed". The post is uploaded, but instead of uploading the image normally it turns into a link that leads to the "if you were looking for an image, it was probably deleted" text.

When I try posting images in comments, when the comment is uploaded the image will display normally, but if I refresh the page the image will be gone and it will just be a blank comment.

I tried posting from a mobile web browser and the same problem happened, so its not a glitch with the app specifically.
