Not sure if this is the right place, or if it’s been done before but:
I’ve been doing this for a while now and figured I’d add this tip in case other people find it helpful.
Instead of uploading images to lemmy world and taking up disk space, when I have an image I want to add, I right click and copy link.
Then paste the link inside () after writing ![] like so:
![](www.google.com/image.jpg)
It becomes second nature pretty quickly.
EDIT: ok so to avoid hotlinking, upload/copy the image to catbox, and then use the technique described above.
Like the link they posted lol. Ya it just doesn’t work properly, it’s nice that they’re considering the stirage issue, but it simply doesn’t work.
Does this not work for you??
