Every time when a YouTube video is embedded in Lemmy, a bot appears, suggesting to use Front-end Piped (or another) instead of YT, which is certainly recommended, due to YouTube's inherent privacy concerns.
However, then it is not understandable, why in the case of images Imgur links are happily allowed, which is infinitely worse in terms of privacy, which shares user and usage data with the worst existing advertising companies, which makes it in little less than spyware.
As a suggestion I present 2 alternatives, which in addition to, as EU products, strictly adhere to the GDPR standard and even more.
As the main FileCoffee service, this, apart from images, supports ALL types of files, whether multimedia, video, documents, presentations or texts. Supports 15 MB/file and with optional registration to also use it as a personal host (100% free with mail, password) up to 30 MB/file, encrypted. Inclusions script one click for ShareX on Windows or MagicCap on Linux or Mac
The second is vgy.me, also privacy oriented, but supports only images, encryption, 20 MB/image, EXIF Data are removed, API for web pages.
Pixeldrain is also a good alternative, but it don't show this 1.jxl image too. maybe it isn't an image.
That's not the site - it's the browser, which may need help f or c.
The image isn't shown in any of my browsers, screenshot is made in the Vivaldi browser, in Firefox I see only the name 1.jxl without the broken image icon, in Otter only a black screen where i've to go to the homepage URL to see the Pixeldrain page, same in EDGE. Seems more that it is something wrong with the image and not a browser problem
The description of the Firefox plug-in explains why. Want a pic of the pic??
In your first post of Pixeldrain ther wasent an 1.avif file, but one with the extension jxl and a broken image icon. Now you say it's a simple jpg, which naturally can be opened even with the obsolete paint. Anyway, I don't want to download an image or file to see it, here we speak about image sharing with embed code to insert in Lemmy or other sites, like I do it with the screenshots I make, the direct link of files from File Coffee open the file/image in a new tab, where you can see it there, without the UI fom the FileCoffee or VGY https://file.coffee/u/rLLXM247jRr4mIuzQwavr.webm
