Newbie question:
I'm using the web interface.

Is there a way to embed an image (from say postimages.org) into a toot instead of attaching the image to the toot which requires more disk space?

Including a link lets people open the image in another browser tab but does not display the image inside the toot.

All those images must be taking up a gazillion bytes of disk space somewhere.

Thanks

Within a (few) days I'm gonna do a full database clean to remove all deleted posts, banned accounts etc. Basically all garbage that's been collected overtime Unfort for that the instance will be offline since I currently cannot affort to upgrade the server for this.. :flan_worried: It'll take a few hours max and I will be giving a warning a few times before! So not now but within a few days, first I'm gonna wait until the media clean is finished

@edfoss Hi there Ed!  I like how you think!  

But unfort not! Embeds are only possible for certain media like videos from YT and PT for example

Perhaps this would be a good idea! 💡

@stux Is there a way to make the suggestion/request without having to use a pull request on github? (MS is not friendly to FOSS)

Also I would like a way to attach a small text file for code snippets (say less than 4K).
