    Salient demonstration, but if image proxying were to come to Lemmy I’d hope it was made optional, as it could overburden smaller instances, especially one-person instances (like mine). We also need a simple integrated way of configuring object storage.

      A better solution could be having an image proxy as a separate service, and somehow managing a list of proxies that are used for loading the image. Of course the clients themselves would have to deal with choosing to use the proxy… except if the backend serves the proxied image URL instead of the original one (and maybe that too under a new name)
