Posts and pictures may not upload correctly, or at all, or maybe magically appear after seeming to not upload. Comments may also duplicate. We will tidy house once we get some stability back after the recent update to 0.18.1 and increased user load. Thank you for trying to continue to upload images for the community.

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 ![Picture of a dune I embedded from Unsplas](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1688164987143-3938a38cf69c?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D&auto=format&fit=crop&w=2071&q=80) produces: Picture of a dune I embedded from Unsplas

(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.
