i wonder if it is better for cohost if i embed images i already have posted somewhere else, instead of uploading and taking up cohost space ?

small artist making small animals. the original home of the chubby stubby excellent tigerbear. sometimes lumpy, sometimes wonky, always delightful.

making art is my love language.

I'm pretty diligent about saving images at smaller resolutions and with mild compression to limit their burden on the system, but given the risk of link rot, I personally prefer hosting images on cohost directly. With savvy tagging, the possibility of someone discovering a post from a long time ago is always there, after all.
