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.

    I moved my instance to object storage because the pictrs storage got out of hand pretty quickly! It’s not really sustainable at block storage prices.

      I need to look into that. It’s not too bad yet but this is prime time to get that kind of thing sorted.
