I use the Thunder app on Android to browse Lemmy, and a lot of other people use apps, too. Your post doesn’t even get a thumbnail, so we don’t know what we’re going to see until we click it, and it requires us to view the link in a webview that takes significantly longer to load, and imgur is kinda ugly. Meanwhile, Lemmy hosted images are downloaded and cached automatically and load almost instantly when tapped.
Just my thoughts. Using the built-in image hosting is free, and has benefits for Lemmy users.
Pretty!
Just so you know, Lemmy can host images directly. It’s a lot nicer than having to go to a third party site to view them.
I use Imagus on Firefox (also on Chrome). I point at pictures and they pop up, full res.

Always happier to use built-in features! How do I do it?
There’s an image button when editing a comment:
Or when creating a post, there’s a separate field for adding an image. You can add additional images to the post body, same as a comment.
