For sure! I was more trying to see if it'd work at all. Apps seem to cache the image but the websites just load it. Theoretically this could be used to collect IP addresses 🤔

Oh yeah, because Lemmy doesn't cache pictures, instead just hot-links them, every time the page loads it loads the picture from the other server. This can be used for bad things too.
