I've been doing that exact thing, but only as long as the images would be Instagram-worthy in the first place. Not just temporary junk. I figure it's probably more optimized for picture storage, since that's the whole point right? Plus then I get it two places instead of one!

If you use the raw media link itself instead of the link to the post, it displays on Lemmy exactly the same as if you'd uploaded it here in the first place. So that's nice.
