      Why didn’t you just paste a picture in the comment? That’s more faster

        Copy-pasting the image will upload it to the lemmy instance, taking up storage space. You should instead embed externally hosted images using the following markdown expression:

          Yes, this way you reduce the load on your instance, but I often see image hosting deleting images and I get scared when I see an imgur link because it often blocks image viewing for me
