i.e. just the image itself without any UI elements? Reason for the question is it would be ideal if Lemmy posts could link direct to an image rather than the site itself.
Can’t you just right click and select copy image link?
Yes, looks like you can! Thanks for that - I only ever use it on mobile, so it wasn’t obvious. Cheers.
Right click and open image in new tab then you can copy/paste that URL, for example: https://pxscdn.com/public/m/_v2/587437729469961861/bf4779419-8cf74f/MOWMijHewO0P/bZKGqTbHxYibgvupZnHY0E6aZPzaWN7mmvHmSQHX.jpg
This is how I host any images that I post to Lemmy, because I assume Pixelfed is more equipped to host images than Lemmy is. As a bonus, if you use a direct link to the image as the link in your Lemmy post, the image shows up just as if you’d uploaded it directly to the post. No clickthrough needed
