That's hot linking and is frowned upon to the point that some sites will block it. You might be seeing the cached version you post over here but everyone else gets a broken image.
Far better to use a hosting services. You could use Pixelfed but it could get a bit messy and it is designed as an Instagram replacement. You've be better off using a dedicated image host:
Like the link they posted lol. Ya it just doesn't work properly, it's nice that they're considering the stirage issue, but it simply doesn't work.
Does this not work for you??
No, that one did. Was that done differently than the one is the post? Or was the post one just an example not meant to lead anywhere?
Yes, the one in the post is just meant as a demonstration, not as a real link.
Ahh ok. Then I retract my original comment.
