It is not difficult to open a link with a picture if the user uses Lemmy through a browser.
However, when you use the Lemmy app, it becomes inconvenient to constantly open pictures through the browser.
Using Sync so I can't relate to the picture opening in browser.
Sync is very good with handling that specific part.
Besides that my point still stands: Less storage needs and being a burden on the ressources of the lemmy instance provider.
use an app that embeds the image / gif into the post.
like sync, and most likely other apps too.
some hostings are still not supported, but the main ones are.
