    So lemmy.world lets you just copypaste images directly from your snipping tool and hosts them on lemmy.world/pictrs

    Kbin sadly does not do this, no idea if other lemmy instances do this

      AFAIK this is for all instances but it’ll be better to host images in a dedicated service to not overload lemmy servers

      It’s understandable. Image hosting bloats costs quite a bit. It also introduces new issues with the law as the server admin can’t allow illegal pictures on it. Offloading that onto a separate image host removes both issues with only minor downsides.

      I’d much rather kbin focus on long-term posting stability than worry about image hosting. If it gets big, then we can think about it. Reddit went without image hosting for years though.
