There’s no great work around for the image issues here either. Other then have someone willing to store everyone’s uploads. I guess not too bad if not a lot of users on the instance though.
Uhh, good question. I didn't think I did that on purpose...
I was originally going to link to a Reddit comment that contained both those links, and I usually use an archive link when doing Reddit links to avoid giving Reddit more clicks. I guess I must have gotten that link from clicking the link in the archived version of the Reddit post?
