    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.
