    I thought that was the point?

    No, by using catbox, all instances just refer to catbox, which is the single host of the picture.

    In the past, you would have a copy of pictures posted directly stored by every instance, consuming resources for every of them

    You’re the first one complaining, if there’s someone else I’ll reconsider!

      Fair enough… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I don’t think that’s been the case for quite some time. As a test, what is the link for this image in my comment? It should be blahaj’s pictrs instance:

      (it’ll either show as lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs or pictrs.blahaj.zone)
