What's the best way to post images on this instance? (self.main)

I see that Lemmy is creating a new link to images hosted outside of this instance. Are they stored on the server even if I post an outside link ? (Asking as a way to find best practice regarding server load with pix)

Yes you are right. If the server is caching the images anyways then it doesn't make sense to upload it to third party services.

Thanks for mentioning imgbb. I was tired of ads and trackers on imgur and been finding a good alternative of imgur.
