5. We CAN just post pictures, seriously. The thing is sites like Bluesky mask the real image with a non jpg URL.

On many sites you can right-click for a pastable link (like a link that ends in .jpg or .png or .gif).

But Bluesky links don't end that way and DU can't detect images without that. I have not figured out how to edit the link to get a pastable one. I can sometimes do it with a link from X, but not Bluesky, Meta, Instagram, reddit.

DU used to have an [img][/img] tag like some other sites do but not since the hack of Nov 2016.
