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?

can u help me fix this post for exemple, https://lemm.ee/post/792465 ? i didn’t know how to do it. thanks :)
It looks like you are linking to an article and that it’s working correctly. What is there to fix?
i meant if the image link added in the text. cant that be loaded ? or only the post link ?
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/
thank you for clarifying. yea i mixed up the link preview idea. well, i will try to see my way around hotlinking. thank you.
