I've been wondering about these questions for a while now but the docs were scarce.

  1. Does loading an image (cache/thumbnail) from external hosting takes up any server storage? If so, is it cleaned up when original image deleted?
  2. Do (internally hosted) "orphan" images (not linked to any post/comments) get deleted?
  3. Any recommendations for image hosting? Preferably freemium+donation based, open source, able to keep spinning until end of times -- all that jazz
  4. In relation to creating posts on lemmiverse: any hints for streamlined workflow uploading images to external hosting? (bookmarklets, scripts, custom frontends)
  5. Are there any promising Lemmy initiatives for optimizing storage usage?

Got any questions of your own about image hosting? Let's hear it

I've good experience with vgy.me, which I use also with ShareX. Good privacy (delete EXIF data, good encryption) and stable, max 20 Mb/image, all share links.
