I hope it can lead a few more people to Hive.
Yes, same. Some of the older content lacks the images when viewed with peakd. For those, I will need to edit them and re-add. I guess the old hosting service on STEEM has not paid for a continued service.
Back in the early days we had to host images elsewhere. Stuff that's not in the blockchain needs to be somewhere resilient that will stick around.
The site is mostly reliant on HIVE. Only the images on the front end (one per explore) are hosted, along with the textual content. It is in all respects another dApp I suppose, just a personal one.
