Hmm! Different depending on limited networks…That’s something I will have to look into. I think it might be possible to upload the images as in on this server itself instead of any third party place, but I need to look into how to do it properly.

Yeah, that’s unfortunately a lemmy thing. I did ask on github why it does this, and it’s so no one opens large file or has large animations playing in the thumbnail for people with low internet, and I asked if there could be an exception for files under a certain size since pixel art is generally very very small files. They never responded… But! Because something’s happening with how Oskai linked to a gif offsite and it did somehow work that way, there’s got to be a file formatting thing that allows this.

More things to investigate, haha.
