Can you host images somewhere else than reddit? It’s blocked(?) by some instances, I can’t even see them without going to lemmy.world, or following the link to reddit. On reddit you can’t open images in full size, literally the worst image host I can imagine.

(I won’t comment on how much work was to create this screenshot. Classic r/mapporn)
Why do you want to post it in avif? My problem was you just linked it from reddit, and haven’t uploaded it somewhere else. I can’t open it because it’s linked from reddit, not because it’s not avif. There are countless image hosts, a lot people use https://catbox.moe/ for example, and it won’t convert it to any other format.
For posts you are right, the default webui wants to open them as links, but in Voyager they are embedded correctly. This is temporary, as support for avif was already added in January, it will work in the future, I guess in the next release: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/3738
a picture hosted on reddit use their bandwidth, without giving them any real benefit? No real user see anything from reddit from my post. Or am I missing something?
Because , that a lot of extra step for no real benefit to host a reddit image somewhere else. Sometimes reddit img might get deleted, but usually it is just because of a repost, so might as well be deleted here
They can track your ip address even if its embedded. Tracking pixels are existing for this reason. You can’t open images directly on reddit, it redirects to an image viewer, which loads god knows what javascript.
But my biggest issue is I can’t see it embedded, because lemmy.zip is blocked, or reddit is blocked from here. See how it looks from my point of view, open this in a browser: https://lemmy.zip/post/58805412

Ngl, you have me curious how much work it took to make that screenshot.
It’s like 5 minutes max, with some practice I think you can lower that to less than half minutes.
Or, as it’s from reddit, I suspect its a repost bot, so just find the last time it was posted
Recreated something similar now:
Ohhh, it was easy. I thought it was going to be a long story. I was ready to get comfy!
the avif format doesnt seems to work on lemmy
No, lemmy.zip converts it to avif, the original is jpg, this is the link of the image you posted:
https://i.redd.it/sg3ssz188iig1.jpegI don’t know if the problem is on lemmy’s side, or reddit rate limits us or something. But we shouldn’t give clicks to reddit anyway.
Also if the post will be deleted on reddit it will stop working here as well, so it’s more future proof if you mirror it to here or somewhere else.
the problem is that the avif format, is not embedded. When I post it, you have to go outside of lemmy to see it. Or do I miss something?

In comments avif already works everywhere.
