If you're having issues throwing larger images into your post, I wanted to mention that you can embed those images in your post instead! You'll have to upload your images to a third-party site for now, unfortunately, but this is kinda just a workaround for the current times.

Here's the HTML of what I've been using to make a single image look nice + make the image clickable for folks who want to zoom in a bit. Put this all in the body of your post, don't bother with Cohost's default headline (I do this because the headline has an awkward amount of space between it and the image, and I don't like it).

### (header here)
<a href="image link here">
    <img src="image link here" style="margin: 0px auto">
</a>

Alternatively, for multiple images, I would recommend using nex3's image grid generator!

Hope this is helpful. <3

EDIT: Seems like the image hosting issues have been resolved, hooray! Now that that's settled, if you want to "host" images for embedding inline into a post, I recommend making a locked sidepage with a random name and making posts with the images there, and then grabbing the image urls off of that post. Means that all of your images are only dependent upon Cohost's infra, instead of an external service.

Re: image hosting sites, I'll put forward https://imgbox.com - they explicitly support hotlinking and weren't horrible when I used them some years ago.

There's also https://catbox.moe, but I'm less sure how they feel about hotlinking... I've crawled over their ToS and FAQ a few times, and I can't tell if they're cool with hotlinking in a non-commercial context.

Please chime in with others!

(Don't host images on Discord - iirc, they're changing how their system works so hotlinked images will break.)
