the problem is that the avif format, is not embedded. When I post it, you have to go outside of lemmy to see it. Or do I miss something?

    Why do you want to post it in avif? My problem was you just linked it from reddit, and haven't uploaded it somewhere else. I can't open it because it's linked from reddit, not because it's not avif. There are countless image hosts, a lot people use https://catbox.moe/ for example, and it won't convert it to any other format.

    For posts you are right, the default webui wants to open them as links, but in Voyager they are embedded correctly. This is temporary, as support for avif was already added in January, it will work in the future, I guess in the next release: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/3738

    In comments avif already works everywhere.

    a picture hosted on reddit use their bandwidth, without giving them any real benefit? No real user see anything from reddit from my post. Or am I missing something?

    Because , that a lot of extra step for no real benefit to host a reddit image somewhere else. Sometimes reddit img might get deleted, but usually it is just because of a repost, so might as well be deleted here

    They can track your ip address even if its embedded. Tracking pixels are existing for this reason. You can't open images directly on reddit, it redirects to an image viewer, which loads god knows what javascript.

    But my biggest issue is I can't see it embedded, because lemmy.zip is blocked, or reddit is blocked from here. See how it looks from my point of view, open this in a browser: https://lemmy.zip/post/58805412

    ok I see. I sometime get that broken image logo too. I didnt know where it came from. So some instance are blocking or are blocked by reddit. That's a shame. I guess I will try from now on , to take the extra step : download the image from reddit, and upload it proper on lemmy
