Not sure if this is the right place, or if it's been done before but:

I've been doing this for a while now and figured I'd add this tip in case other people find it helpful.

Instead of uploading images to lemmy world and taking up disk space, when I have an image I want to add, I right click and copy link.

Then paste the link inside () after writing ![] like so:

![](www.google.com/image.jpg)

It becomes second nature pretty quickly.

EDIT: ok so to avoid hotlinking, upload/copy the image to catbox, and then use the technique described above.

Like the link they posted lol. Ya it just doesn't work properly, it's nice that they're considering the stirage issue, but it simply doesn't work.

No, that one did. Was that done differently than the one is the post? Or was the post one just an example not meant to lead anywhere?

Yes, the one in the post is just meant as a demonstration, not as a real link.

Ahh ok. Then I retract my original comment.
