Force resize externally linked images? Generate thumbnails of externally linked images?
External images could be linked and displayed using:
![](external url)
Then Lemmy images could be resized which I think also shrinks the file size; hence faster display time, save internet data, and save screen space; by adding &thumbnail=:
This resizing is done by pictrs at runtime, when you request the image. Unless the external image host also uses pictrs, you can't do this with any other host, no.
