Yes, looks like you can! Thanks for that - I only ever use it on mobile, so it wasn’t obvious. Cheers.
This is how I host any images that I post to Lemmy, because I assume Pixelfed is more equipped to host images than Lemmy is. As a bonus, if you use a direct link to the image as the link in your Lemmy post, the image shows up just as if you'd uploaded it directly to the post. No clickthrough needed
