MODERATORS
One way to lighten the load on servers is to host your images externally. You can still embed the images into your post and nobody will be able to see the difference on first glance. The markdown to embed is:
![Alttext](Linktopicture.tld/picturename.filetype
Alttext is optional but encouraged. If you don't want to use it keep the first set of brackets [] empty
Here is an example of how to use this:
The code

produces:(I've taken a random picture from Unsplash for this. It doesn't mean anything more
Lies, this is obviously guerilla marketing for Dune part 2.
Do you have an image hoster that you recommend? Imgur was popular but I thought they made some changes to what can be done without an account.
catbox.moe. You can upload anything upto 200 MB. Checkout their Patreon in case anybody wants to support them.
