An external image showing your user-agent and the total "hit count" [https://trilinder.pythonanywhere.com/image.jpg]

Hexbear.net stays winning, external embeds are domain whitelist-only until pictrs adds proxying support, and blurred by default. I’d honestly encourage other instances to do the same but it requires dev effort that I know not everyone has, and upstream isn’t quite as paranoid about this stuff.

For reference:

Is there a pull request for it though?
as far as I know upstream lemmy doesn’t want it and is waiting on pictrs proxying support. If I’m wrong though our code is public, I’m sure someone would be happy to put together a PR
Cool, didn’t know some Lemmy instances did this
