…but stopped providing full links (down to the .jpg suffix) sometime last year, and DU can’t handle such links.

I’ve found the only way to post photos here is to upload them to a Pixelfed account and then extract a link from there, but it’s a really cumbersome procedure, and I’ve basically stopped posting photos here because of it.

I wish DU could find a way to host photos locally, like virtually every other social media site does.
