We can upload images directly to Lemmy but that does increase the load on the instances. What other services do you recommend? Do you have a go to?

    Imgbb.com

    Also, when putting an image in a comment or text of a post use this format

    ![image alt text](https://image url)

    It’s the same format to drop on a link, but you add a ! At the beginning. It will load the image right into the text instead of leaving a link

          It looks like you are linking to an article and that it’s working correctly. What is there to fix?

              It sounds like you’re looking for a link preview that includes an except and a featured thumbnail image. That’s not supported in Lemmy.

              If you want to link directly to the image (aka hot linking), you need to grab the image URL and then link to that rather than the full article.

              Note that while hot linking like that usually works, it’s often frowned upon unless the original site is specifically set up to handle it - a good example of a site for image sharing is Imgur. Here’s a good explanation: https://awesomelytechie.com/dont-hotlink/
